TATA Motors - Luck Now

Our one big customer is adding a fully automated paint building that they are asking us to clean. It will be a big "one of a kind" job. It's exciting and new!! Note that the cement is being hauled up to the top of the structure a bucket at a time.

Transportation.....Again

Here is the Jeep that I usually am driven around in, and one of the bigger eight passenger type three wheelers. The third one is an Ambassador Classic which is Indian built, and used for official cars mostly, although anyone can own one. The other pic is an excited kid in a tuk tuk traveling with family.

My Friend Paul

This is the internationally famous man that is listed in the AA directory that got me to my first AA meeting in India. Thanks Paul

Bars, Bikes and Buddies

Went to a bar today that was about 10 feet wide 20 feet long and 4 stories tall. Its
where my friend Ashok developed his disease. The place was interesting. Of course I had "fresh lime soda with salt" (an exotic new drink I've discovered quite by accident that I love) and Ashok had a Pepsi. We reminisced about the hundreds of rupee spent there, and the many close calls going up and down the spiral staircase. The bike of course is a Royal Enfield which so far, is my favorite here. I'm told that I can buy one for around $ 1500.00. I'll probably have to do that when I return. Of course, my buddies are starting to join me daily for lunch. They eat packets of ketchup, onions, or anything else I put on the window sill.

Palace in Mysoor

I hesitated to post these pictures because of the poor quality but maybe you can get some idea. This is an actual palace that has been converted to a hotel, we had tea there. The rate is only about $ 200/night. The rooms are grand.

Worship in Mysoor

Of course, as with every place in India, there are idols and temples. Here is a sample of them in Mysoor. Sorry about the poor quality of the cow.

Mysoor "Country Life"

These are just random shots of people in Mysoor. Note that it isn't near as crowded as Bangelore. People are also very humble.
