He sent me birthday wishes a day early and talks a little about how the long hours and constant daylight causes them to get a little discombobulated.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, love you boy…
we are getting punch drunk from working the Ice, yesterday a critical part was left out of the drill string this after 3 sets of eyes had looked at it (or should have seen it) … we were lucky that it did not begin drilling, although it did make it to the bottom of the hole…… had it begun drilling, it would have become stuck, perhaps permenantly..my eyes were the first ones that missed it, then the senior designer, then the senior computer guy…. whew…. we have not had a complete day off since christmas…this coming sunday is the first one since then….
we also had the tasting of the mead jonathon and I made here john does the weather and a very good rendition of “I’m a lumberjack”…. mead turned out pretty good….. the cook donated some honey and we started it 4 weeks ago… (wow I can’t even remember when that was) everything is blending into one long day here, no darkness, just either sun or clouds…. got 9 hours sleep last night, and wanting more…
