Coughing through the countdown....

What was left of the crew - after our14-hour day

August 2, 2005

Note from Beth: My computer crashed yesterday morning before I was able to update the blog. (Remember when I told Nanook that he’d have to figure out how to hook his computer back up, cuz he didn’t number the ports and plugs before he left?) Well, let me just tell you – it’s AMAZING how quickly you find the drive to figure it out yourself when you really want Internet Access! 15 minutes later, I’m back on-line on HIS computer and am even able to get my e-mail through Road Runner’s WEB-Mail. Ah, the wonders of technology. There wasn’t much to put on here yesterday, as Nanook’s pretty run down and miserable. I’ll post the pictures he sent below. He told me that people are avoiding him because every time he tries to talk, he starts coughing and it’s quite irritating to all. He just wants to get home and get healthy. I'm sitting at his computer this morning and see 2 Hall's Cough Drops on his desk...

Here are his notes from today:

Things went well today, poured 25 meters; tomorrow we will pour 50 plus meters and the next day I don't care.

Randy was informed he will be overseeing the plant when I leave. So I gave him a quick briefing today and tomorrow we will go over more.

Not much else going on, just want to get some sleep maybe watch the movie "Kill Bill". Love you and will see you soon.
