Sneaking in the back door!

The Tribe think your job is waaaayyy cool. Except for being cat-less for 28 days - that kind of bites - but Tiger is especially facinated by boats ( on the TV ).
so he would love to take a ride on a Tug boat some day. (Or on our little 30 ft. Monk that we have here on Puget Sound.) He likes to drive....

hope the time goes fast!

Heck, I have been off 5 weeks because of this shoulder instead of the usual 4. The company has so many cooks out that they had no one to work in my place while I was off so my guys have been without a cook this week they have been on. My Captian and pilot (the one who steers when the Cap is off watch) have called and called and called telling me how much they miss me. Rick, our pilot even called late the night I was driving up here and told me of I got sleepy and needed to talk to stay awake, to call him and he would talk to me as long as it took, even if that meant until I arrived in Paducah. The Captain calls when he is on watch and the pilot calls when he is on watch so they are keeping real close tabs on me.. Ha.. it should be a real WELCOME HOME party when I get back on today!
