Hello again, I'm back...sort of. I found a job, which pays less than half of my previous pay, and the work days are more frequent. Anyways, I'm working on a well in Louisiana very near the Mississippi River. Its a very boring job, unless they drill fast. Its sugarcane harvest season, and there are maybe a dozen harvesters working on the one road between the drilling rig, and the shack I am staying in. The harvesters load up tractor trailers, and they in turn load up Semi- trailers. This leads to a lot of noise right there by the trailer. Today was even worse as they are digging a ditch near the trailers, plus gravel was deposited at the trailer site, and one of the tractor drivers cars kept having the alarm go off. Not sleeping much, maybe 3 hours total in 2 days. Other than that things are plodding along. I wish I had something interesting to write, but its probably best if I don't. B
