This well installation job I am doing is a lot more difficult than I would have anticipated. Basically, bedrock is a lot more shallow than we would have anticipated, so we have to move around a lot to find good locations. So, it takes a lot longer than I hoped. We did 2 wells today, so we have 3 to do tomorrow. There were supposed to be 6 in total, but I think the last one is a no-go since there doesn't seem to be any area there that would be suitable. Anyways, I am standing behind a drill rig all day in the middle of nowhere, freezing my butt off, and to help myself get through this, I remembered "hey, in 9 days, I will be on a beach!" That helped a lot ;)
Oh, I had some free time yesterday, so I went to a cool Sierra Designs outlet store. I bought myself a touque and scarf, rain pants and jacket (all of which came in handy today), and a gore-tex jacket. All were severely discounted! The gore-tex jacket would probably retail upwards of $400 in a store, and I got it for $129! I was very pleased.
So this weekend is Oktoberfest! Eins, zwei, zoofa! Ein Prozit!

I'll drink a beer (or ten) and pretend that I am there too! I'm sorry that I'm going to miss it this year, but I am having a good time here in Goose, so I guess it's all good. :)
