Amen to that Brother,
I pity those who've never felt the frisson of terror, who've never done work
so dangerous as to make the body quake with excitement. Ah, to conquer that
challenge ~ that's what it's all about! To repel down a bridge, to climb the
slippery steel, to ride the hook to the 10th floor, to weave one's terrified
body through a maze of high tension wires and powerful, hungry, man eating
machines, or to bravely eat so much pumpkin pie that's the belly feels about
to burst open wide!
I'm betting today was one you'll look back on and smile with earned
satisfaction.

14c and 120km/hr winds with 30mm rain [horizontal] in the last 8
hours...... now combine that and picture me hanging over the side of a
bridge with repelling gear taking digitals of the work completed.... now
you have an idea of how my day went.
The Fall Arrest Gear alone becomes an impediment to manoeuvring freely
when hanging 10 meters above a churning river with a 2 foot depth that
would undoubtedly kill me if the gear failed.

I really don't get paid enough on some days...... :-)

No really... I love my job!

We have a nice 23C day with 5-15 knots of ESE wind. I've just come in
from a 2 hour sail on the bay :-)

Joe,

Shucking Oysters!! So was I ! Made a casserole with "Sailor boy
crackers, 1/2&1/2. butter, nutmeg and powdered mustard" to serve with
Turkey Gravy.

Also baked 3 pies; Apple, Caramel Apple, and Raisin Pie ( Funeral pie,
Scott)

We have trouble here. FLOOD WARNING! Water already over the road at my
Son's house, where I'm going tomorrow. That's where the Turkey is. May
have to use the inflatable canoe to get in.

How that for getting on topic,
Ole Thom
