Almost two weeks? Has it really been that long since my last blog? I quess so, I better
get my ass in gear and get to blogging. Last week was a pretty good week at work.
Nothing special except that we started the new job on Mercer Island, which isn't to bad of a
drive. It is nice not staying in a motel room every night, that is for sure.
The week started out like every new job we go to, they didn't have any equipment there for us to use until Wednesday, so we spent Monday just going over the plans and just seeing what we had,
looking at parts and pipe and locating a few of the underground utilities that were already there. Water, power, gas and telephone, so when we do to dig near them we already know where they are. Tuesday, when we were suppose to start digging and they still hadn't
delivered our equipment to use, we only worked a half day, which sucked.
Wednesday we had to go back up to Smokey Point for the day to finish one stretch of pipe that they wanted us to do. Good thing we didn't it, because I can guarantee there isn't another
pipe crew that would have done what Reyes and I had to do to make the pipe work. I know
that for a fact. I have seen our other pipe crews work, and I know they wouldn't have just
done what they had to to get it done.
Yesterday we all had so much fun up at the Scottish Highlander Games. Thanks for the invite.
The music is fantastic and the food as well. They boys were so exhausted and wore out. A long hot day in the sun does that to all of us. I was exhausted as well. I am up
early today and getting ready to go help my buddy Dan move into a new house. He Called
me up and asked if I could give him a hand moving into his new house today
he said the boys are welcome to come along, so we are going to head up there sometime
around 630 this morning.
that is the update from me.

It's great to hear that the boys had a good time at the HG. I heard that Gabby tried the turkey legs. How was it? ( You must have had a bite. )
I almost got caught on my show-watching on the computer.
Connie had a great time, too ! She was 'pooped' when she got home. She and Leah are now ( 11:30 ) off to the Market.
