My GOD I'm at the ocean!

It really hasn't occurred to me that I'm anywhere but at work at just another site. Today we took the afternoon and ventured out and seen some sights. We ended up checking out Tybee beach on Tybee island. It's just amazing to see the size of the ocean barges come into Savannah. We found ourselves at the Crab Shack for dinner where we dined outside alongside the docks and the marshes. Apparently the cats love this place because there were at least a half a dozen running around looking for scraps. Dinner was excellent, those cats have good taste. Outside as you wait for your table you can feed the gators for a small fee. The kids seemed to be having a ball feeding them. I now feel like I'm actually somewhere other than an apartment out of town. I still miss my family dearly and wish they were here to enjoy the sights with me. I look forward to the possibility of taking my son to the ocean and maybe even go feed the gators. He would have a blast. I just have to keep focused on why and who I'm doing this for.

I Love you bud! Take care of your mom for me!

Back Again

Just returned to work after a 5 day weekend with my wife and baby boy. We had a good time for his second birthday. I hated leaving, I don't know who it is harder for, me, the wife, or my son. He had a great time and was surrounded by lots of family for his birthday. I returned to Georgia to an apartment infested with biting ants. God I love being here! NOT!! At least the hotels were insect and rodent free. I have not found 1 good point about being here other than it's a paycheck. At least this time I remembered to bring some pictures and I wasted no time getting them plastered around my room. Now I can't look anywhere without seeing his smiling face. I returned to work today to find all the systems down and no one knew how or why it was like that. I swear it's like being around a bunch of 5 yr olds that "didn't do it." Took most of the day to catch up with where I was a week ago. Well worth the trip home though. I'll be thinking of you buddy, take care of your momma.

Love,

Skeeters Daddy.

Living in hotels suck!

I used to like to travel and stay in hotels but I'm quickly growing to hate hotels. Night after night living out of a suitcase not sure how many days you'll be at one hotel or the other. Constantly changing. Finally I have been told there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I should be in an apartment by Monday, furniture may not be there until Wednesday but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. At least they have a desk so that I can work at night as well as the normal day shift. Today at the site they killed another rattlesnake, this one was about 9 foot long. The locals saved it for dinner, "dems good eatin' ya know". Glad I have my snakeboots now, a few others are going to buy some after today. Some people just can't take a warning they have to see it for themselves. I wonder if they will take my word that dropping a 50' pinetree on their head will hurt. Some people. Apparently we have other friends on site as well as you can see above.
