Day two of trenching with photos

Continued working on trench.  Here are the machines we are using to excavate the crossing.















The smile y face is scratched into the floating ice pier, being built by the laoder.  The ice peir is 10 feet deep right now but needs to be 19 to support the cargo and fuel ships that will dock.  the other picture of the pier is of tw divers about to enter into the water to inspect the pier.  The vessels are scheduled to arrive in january, after teh ice thins and the ice breaker works its magic.  The sound will be water and ice bergs.  The land will be crushed lava rock.  the photo of MO Gas is for morgan.  the have named the gasoline mogas, and this is one of the large storage tanks on the island.
 I saw my first bird yesterday.  the bird is a skua, a seagull like bird,  I did not realize it was a big deal or i would hae taken a picture.  I was told there might be 5 to 15 of  them thsi season.  I was also warned to guard my food, because tey will hawkit right out of your hands.
The photos of the vehicles are for the fritz boys.  the track vehicle is a called a piston bulley.  the large tired tanker is water transport.

We also had a holloween party last night, and this is what i saw.









I know these people.  three of them are my roommates.  the thief with the vcr.  the vcr actually transported beer.  the guy in the silve suite and cape has a twin apendage dangeling from his hip.  I labeled the third mate as Reno 911, or Scott baio.  Sme serious scary characters.  the pirate looking dude slash pooh bear is a pimp.  He got second prize to oscars grand prize.
