[The Masked Shadow]

The Masked Shadow ill explain it a bit more here.
Like I said earlier, I work in a rock quarry and after we have a blast to free up the rock, View attachment 1522194

The 70 ton haul trucks bring the rock to me and dump it in my crusher.

View attachment 1522195
The rock gets shakes down until it goes through the jaw where it gets crushed
View attachment 1522196
The left jaw die is stationary and the right jaw die moves to crush the rocks. After wards it goes up the following belt and drops into another crusher where it gets crush
View attachment 1522197
After it gets crushed it goes down a belt you can’t see, then goes the the belt on the left where it gets deposited on a pile. View attachment 1522198
The pile has a few boxes inside of it that shake to get rock to fall onto the conveyor belt you see coming away from the pile. It then goes up the other belt where it will be crushed again and again to various sizes.

This is my hammer which I use to break up the rocks to big to go through the jaw or get rocks unstuck.

Wow... that looks very dangerous!

The owner was a 78 year old man child who loves to scream at people for the smallest things and I walked out one day without saying a word after he screamed at me the wrong day. A couple months.

How could I forget Brian! The image of you stood there in your undercrackers as black as coal is etched in my mind for eternity, lol.

I’m sure you look back on that memory with fondness

I do now, but at the time I had to go and see a counsellor. The flashbacks I kept getting were too traumatic for me to handle, lol.

...and I have heard of the black pudding,some here call it blood pudding and I haven't yet been anywhere near hungry enough to try it when I've had it around me!

Man you have to try it, it’s so much better than it sounds. I picked some up yesterday and will be frying it up with some baked beans on toast for lunch after the gym tomorrow.
So tasty and apparently full of protein and iron, it still disgusts my wife and kid and they won’t try it no matter what so more for me!

Ain't that the truth, lol. When you're eating this type of stuff you really don't want to be looking at the ingredients list. But man, haggis and black pudding, hmmmm.

I've never been able to get my head around tripe though. Absolutely not for me.

Well I didn’t make it to the gym but the black pudding still made it to the frying pan.
A very English breakfast for a cold Sunday morning.
