Just dropped by to say Hi! I'm actually "in town" for the weekend... okay
it's Norman Wells and only 800 people... I'm having a few drinks waiting at
the office for the local bar to open. I got wind there would be peelers here
this weekend so I managed to get some time out of the bush......
WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo it's time to tie one on and cut loose!!!!!

It's been an average of minus 38 here for a long while. I'm working outdoors
all day! Kickin' ass and takin' names. I've been working survey and in
charge of 2 crews erecting steel abutments for bridge crossings. Cols steel
at 40 below just sucks the heat out of you! The snow is belly deep to a
moose and it makes for a diffcult time surveying. I've gotten more
snowmobile and Argo time this season than all the other years combined. One
of my local buddies just got his commercial helicopter cert.... so I'm off
to the Franklin Mountains tomorrow morning for a spin!

Get this now...... they provided me with two beautiful blonde babes as
helpers. I'm not kiddin' ya... these girls are cute. How lucky can you get
eh?!! The girls are back at base camp.... Ha Ha Ha! They get out next week
when the bar brings in the male strippers for lady's night!

I see not much has changed at ASA.... Jax is still sailin' the Irwin of
mental vessels! Bobby is claiming to be going on sabbatical? Ha Ha Ha

I'll post pictures to webshots when I get back.... I'm on a snail connection
here. Take care and I'll see if I can check in on Sunday before I head back
out to the sticks. Man what totally AWESOME country this is up here!!!

later
