Ian, I am gathering photos of unique equipment for you.  I do not want to give them to you all at once or there will be nothing to come back and look for.  One cool thing about antarctica, is there are no bugs here.  Thank   you for the well wishes and I will sleep very tight.  I love you little buddy.  I miss you all!   Today we had the worst weather to date.  there were times you could not see outside the window.  We had to stop the truck.  Scary!  It is called a white out. 
The bulldozer above is a stretch D8. See how the nose is stretched out. There are only three in the world.  Two of them here in Antarctica.  It takes a poney motor(auxillary) motor ot start the main engine.
I did not have a costum for holloween.  what were you?

  2. Hi Uncle Ed. That is the coolest bulldozer I have ever seen. Did you get to drive it yet? Why are there only 3 of them? How many miles are you from home? You are the only friend I have in Antarctica. I can't wait to see the next piece of equipment. Do you remember when we jumped ot of the corn and scared Alyssa and her friends? I wore the same costume. It is a graveyard ghoul. I wish it would snow here. Do you wish that it wouldn't snow there? I m going to sleep now. I don't have school tomorrow but I still have to get up early. Love and miss you. Ian
