I'm not the only one that does not want to be in Foggia

The other day I found out that Mr. Cicolella who owns the only 4 star hotel in town as well as two cinemas (Cinema Cicolella and Altrocinema Cicollela) and probably more - does not even live in Foggia. What does that tell you about the place when a prominent local businessman won't live locally?

The owner isn't a small town kinda guy? :P (Lucky for me, am miles away so you can't smack me on the head!) he hehe... how long will you be posted at this place or have no clue?

That is a very difficult question. We have several important milestones. First Crank is the first time that the turbine and generator spin at a few hundred RPM. First fire is the first time we put gas in the turbine and light it off. Synchronization is when you first connect the generator to the power grid and start making megawatts. We should first crank by the end of this week. Then I need to go up north, back to Tavazzano to get the 3rd machine ready. I have no idea when first fire will be here at the site down south but I will proabably have 2-3 weeks when we fire and go online.

hmmm I think I forgot to mention, physics and I parted ways in 10th grade! We were not on best of terms. But that sorta made sense! :) So give or take a week, you might have a month left? I guess will have to wait and see...

It's a little like a car. First crank is like trying to start a car when you are out of gas. It turns over but does not run. First fire is when you first turn the car on and it runs. Synchronization is like putting it in gear and driving away.
I am still unsure about time. I am still wondering if the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

Haha, ok, I see why it's not a good visiting location.
