For one thing, I've just spent two unutterably filthy days in the field. Wednesday may very well have been the most physically demanding day of work I've ever done, and I was a paratrooper medic for almost seven years. Here I am about noon - Dirty, Phase I:
And now here I am driving home: Dirty, Phase IV. I am so sore I can feel every muscle, and I think some of the grime may need a steam jenny to remove.
Anyway, I have a day of drilling tomorrow and then a final day that starts at 4am Saturday.And then I can rest.
So - I'll see you then.
I was hoping that the silence was just a busy silence... wishing you rest soon.
ReplyDeleteWell, two things Chief:
ReplyDelete1: In this economy, busy means job security, and that is a wonderful thing! Congratulations!
2: IF EVER I SAW A MAN IN NEED OF BEER, it is you, in the truck, right at that moment!
Here's hoping you had a nice tall, icy glass of brew waiting for you.
See you when you feel like writing again.
Thanks for the update, Chief, but sorry it's such a tough time right now. Like Sheerah said, I hope you had some relief after that hard day.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see you when you are rested.
A nice tall glass of porter brewed locally or stout (anything but guiness) will put the fire back in your belly.
ReplyDeleteWhatever energy I had I lost this morning; I arrived at 0230, the drillers were an hour late, and then we his 6-9 feet of concrete and large-dimension rip-rap that stopped us cold.
ReplyDeleteI'm whipped.
Back Sunday. Love to y'all.
