If there is something that I really like, it is cranes, excavators and heavy machinery.
I have been lucky these days, it is incredible what can be done with all this by engineering.
In the port where I work, in a matter of days they have raised a dam to join two sections of the port and so it is a future to increase the surface of land.
Seen from a distance it is impressive, it is 800m long but it doesn't seem like much, things change once you see it from the front, what seemed like a rock breakwater and little else, is almost a perfectly smooth multi-lane road.
It seems like child's play, I never cease to be amazed by the power of these machines.
One day I will show you the Lego cranes I have. If I couldn't have a real excavator, at least I could have a toy one. 3 replies

I've been exhausted for a few days, between physical exercise, a thousand incidents at work, studying for exams and 2 days of intensive training on cartographic computer tools, I'm exhausted and desapear.
I work as a Systems and Telecommunications Technician at the Port of Castellón, but I've been working for years as a programmer, I'm completely recycling myself.
In the meantime, I am immersing in the port world, which fascinates me, so much so that the course I have taken is on Port Management and Strategy, which has nothing to do with IT.
The good thing about this job is that sometimes you have to go to the internal premises passing through the logistic unloading areas and you are amazed by the dimensions of the things, giant cranes, very long lorries, gigantic goods.
I leave a photo in which it is impossible to capture the enormous size of these blades for wind generators.
And another one of a gigant mobile grab crane for loading and unloading bulk cargo.
How many tyres would you say it has? 5 replies

Sometimes the week starts badly at work, and that's what happened to me last week.
We updated the software on the main user session system and, without any sense, more than half of the terminals stopped working.
There was nothing in the documentation or in the forums, nothing at all that explained what it could be.
While some of us investigated, others dedicated ourselves to trying to get the terminals working.
In the end, after trying everything, we found a solution by pure luck, but we had to go from station to station reconfiguring it completely, having to listen to the complaints of each user, with the pressure of the Director and with the stress of not being sure that it was a definitive solution.
In the end everything passed, on Thursday they were all operational and peace returned.
From that whole week, I have one memory, that of getting up nervous about what I was going to find and disconnecting for a few moments from everything when I saw the sunlight over the clouds at dawn on the way to work. 6 replies

Here in Spain it is very typical in summer to get into very calm areas of rivers, pools or natural swimming pools, but I don't even put my foot in them!
Because I'm a very cold person and those waters, even in the middle of summer, are still freezing cold for me, no matter how many people enjoy splashing around, I must have an ultra-sensitive nervous system to the temperature 😅
Even in the Mediterranean Sea, which is really ‘soupy’ as they say here when it's very hot, I get tingles of freshness when I get to the sensitive area 😆
However, I was shocked on the trip we made to Cambodia, in some waterfalls where you could swim and even dive, the water came down hot!! so tropical is the climate there that the rivers are warm.
My brain took a while to process it, but in the end it carried out my orders, that is why you can see that tiny character in the background of the photo I am leaving you... it is me celebrating my feat! 😂 6 replies

Otro rato de viajar en tren, es algo que me encanta, el traqueteo de las vías, ver el paisaje, dejarte llevar y si eres como yo... sumergirte en tu mundo interior.
Os dejo una foto de ahora yendo de 📍Castellón a Valencia y otra del viaje a 📍SriLanka de hace un par de años.
Hoy le doy vueltas a mi edad, esta semana cumplo 43, meee cawen la mar! Qué viejo soy.
Cuando era pequeño recuerdo pensar qué viejo era mi tío que acaba de cumplir 30 años! y cuando el padre de mi mejor amigo cumplió 42 nos pareció que ya era un señor muy mayor, casi abuelo! Qué distorsionada teníamos la percepción de la edad.
Por un lado pienso, qué rápido han pasado los 20 y los 30, por otro aun me queda una eternidad para jubilarme, qué soy? Viejo, mayor, joven, un semidios que se mantiene increíble a su edad 😁 ojalá esto último.
Miro el horizonte viendo los campos pasar, mi vista recorre cientos de vidas de personas desconocidas, cada una con sus historias, si yo dejara de existir no influiría... 👇🏼 3 replies

Muscle pain! "Agujetas" in Spanish.
A sensation that all of you will have experienced.
Today I feel PAIN, real pain, thousands of blades that dig into your muscles as soon as you move them.
What has happened to me?
Well, at my 43 I have just started to exercise a part of my body that I have never done physical effort in the gym.
My legs and of course... my butt! 😅
And why have I decided to do it now?
The answer is short, quick and simple: for love.
If my girl wants to and is happy, I will do it.
Otherwise I wouldn't go through the enormous pain I feel.
I'm not exaggerating! it's not that it hurts when I bend down, it's that I can't even put on my socks! the leg stops, it doesn't obey!
And I look like a fool walking, as if I were a cowboy, the pitiful one.
I leave you the photo of the element that is helping me to torture me in this way, some rubber bands that want to massacre my muscles to get them out of their lethargy.
Anything for a good Booty! 😎 2 replies

Has it ever happened to you that while going so fast, you have fallen forward and landed with your face on the ground?
Looking at the photo you can already imagine what it is about, I will give you some information.
📍 Turkey, day 1 in Cappadocia of the 15-day trip.
We have several activities planned, but if there is something that never fails, it is treking, treking and treking until you want to tear your feet off.
Cappadocia is a large area of mountains and very arid sandy lands, which with erosion have created small valleys, mounds and very peculiar geological formations.
After hours of trekking up and down, with the sun beating down on us, already so tired that my legs were begging for mercy... we are going along the top of a small plateau, we have to go down to go towards the population area where the hotels are.
We see a shortcut that involves going down a somewhat steep slope, due to the sandy terrain, somewhat slippery, ther is a rope to help you go up or down.
