He's working construction. He's driving a dump truck hauling rock. They're building a jetty. He enjoys driving, but the hours are not regular. Because of the job they're doing, they've had to work with the tides all summer so some days he'd work 4 hours, and some, like this week, considerably longer.
This is where they are building the jetty.
I took this picture about a month ago. The pilings in the background are what remained of a wooden breakwater that used to be there. They are pulling them out of the water as they get to them. We already have 2 breakwaters here on the island but this being a fishing community, we have outgrown them.
My husband and I (and other members of our community) call the mountain in the background "The Gorilla." To us, it looks as if a gorilla is lying on its back. Do you see his profile?
We also have a mountain that has a profile of George Washington. I'll take a picture of that and post it some day. It's best to get a winter photo so George will have his white hair. :o)
I'm off to bed now. Goodnight.

It is a beautiful picture. Oh how I love Alaska. I'm sure your husband and his crew will do a wonderful job.
I understand skipping a day. It's hard to get back into writting in a daily journal is you miss a day.
I'm still trying my best to have the best dance ever. We'll see if it happens though. As you could probably tell from my blog... I'm a little upset about the run around that I'm getting. ha.
:-)
I have faith in you...you'll do the best you can with what you're given. That's what counts in the end! Thanks for visiting, Kate.
Oops! That's what I get for sneaking in a little blog time at work. The above comment was NOT anonymous, it was ME! hehe *blush*
That is awesome, it DOES look like a gorilla. Speaking of, I have a huge Russian Blue kitty named Clarence and we always call him our little Silver Back (gorilla).
Hope you're having a great day!
Phew! I'm so glad you ladies can see it! Least now I know we're not seeing things. Ha!
Jayleigh, seems we keep finding little similarities the more we comment on each others blogs. Even down to giving things gorilla related nicknames. :o)
