The last 3 days were good days for us as far as catching up on rest. I guess we're ready to go again for the next 4 1/2 days, but it doesn't seem to get much easier. We essentially did what we planned to do - Josie did laundry and I did more work on the document reduction plan with the new scanner. I had to stop that effort about mid afternoon when I discovered the files weren't being organized quite like I want on the new flash drive, and I need to do some research in the manual to see if there is a better way.
We heard back from our friend Bruce at Grey's Point, and they are feverishly working to get the place ready for the Labor Day weekend. The pools were full of leaves and junk and the whole campground has to be cleaned up. The marina is closed since there was severe damage there, and there were 8 seasonal homes crushed by trees. He said he would send some pictures next week. The power returned on Wednesday, and went out again for about 12 hours early Thursday morning, but is back on at the present time. They were expecting 24 rigs yesterday and 102 for today. They will be very busy this weekend. One difference for us is that the work we do is the same whether or not it is a holiday weekend. I don't know if that is better or not.
We received our paychecks in our bank accounts today (at midnight last night) so that is the driving force for us to plow onward. If it all works out the way we have it planned, we will be able to enjoy a month somewhere in the warm south beginning at the end of December. Beyond that, our plans are unsettled. It will be difficult to find work that starts in February and ends in the April time frame, but we will try to find something that helps fulfill our goal of heading back west this spring. It seems that all of the good jobs on the east coast during the winter are work-for-your-site jobs, and don't pay much, if any, extra money. That will be enough at some point down the road, but not at this point in our journey.
That about does it for now, so it's back to work we go...
