Well it has
been a whirlwind of activity the last couple of months. With Lynn and I both
working on starting up new businesses we were busy to start with. Add into
that, that I just started a new job with Ethno Science working on the Montana
Alberta Tie-Line (MATL-pronounced Matal) Project and we have had to kick things
into overdrive.
The job is
only 3 hours from home so it’s not too bad, I’ll be able to come home on my
days off, but I’m also not able to be out in the shop turning more items
either. L
Involving mostly survey and monitoring in the power line corridor, there is some
shovel testing involved. The total length of the line is 214 miles, but we are
only working on the 133 miles that is in Montana, ending at Great Falls. This
is the farthest I have even been east of the Rockies in Montana. So far it’s
not as bad as I thought, but I am having some issues with just which way is
North when the clouds move in and I can’t see any of the mountains in the
distance.
On the
other hand, I have time while sitting in the motel room in the evening to
finish up some pending paperwork for the Montana Arts Program, an article I’m doing
for Rural Montana, and my thesis.
Keep
checking back for updates and always refer to my Flickr site for photo updates.
