Good seeing you last night Nimrod. Had a late night last night finishing up work, then an early start to the morning. I got a call out to go work on the barges at STP, on the way back I got a good view of the polar bear. He was sacked out cold, eyes locked shut and strewen out over some driftwood. I got 2 pictures of him from about 25 yards away from 2 different angles, and the roll ran out. He' s not that big of a bear, maybe a 6 footer, but there' s still a different feeling in the air when you are around a polar bear, even if he is sound asleep!

The days been full of ups and downs, finally got word that work is going to start on my building, so I should have heat, water and sewar again in a week or two. The power has flickered all day and gone out twice now, my reporting system crashed so I' ve been struggling with that, I had some rush work to go to town and Alaska Airlines cancels their only flight today, at least the trucks are headed south though, and I' m stuck at work on my 6th wedding anniversary. BLAH. [X(]

Got 8-10 pounds of caribou jerky in the works though so that should lift my spirits.

Looks like junogrl will meet my folks before I get a chance to meet her. Have fun in Fairbanks next weekend, I hope Wendy gets an arsenol started!

Looks like SEAK and I will get one trip down south on Tuesday night to chase the bou around. He' ll probably get one since he leaves Wednesday and I' ll have to butcher it up for him. [>:] I don' t mind, got nothing else to do up here.[&:]
