a welders helper

Hi Aaron:

We are still following your and Matt's blogs. During Karl's trip it became a daily ritual for the family to look each morning to see....well to make sure everyone was still alive and well!

Karl hopped on a bus New Years evening for a job in Fort Nelson B.C. From Fort Nelson, someone drove in 2 1/2 hours from the pipeline camp he will be working at. They work 12 hours days 7 days a week, meals and private rooms (he thought that was pretty good). Usually they are in for 3 weeks out for 1, however, with a spring break up planned for March, I think they (Karl and his friend Matt) may try and stay in until then. They make good money and I believe he will be a welders helper.

He didn't leave before finding a number of interesting books and talking his mother into another MasterCard expense for a lap top, which I believe he is hoping works with wireless technology so he can keep in touch with the outside world.

Thanks for everything from the Kid's Mom.
All the best for 2006!

So Aaron, can you tell us about the demolition, the 20 oz hammer, the tool belt, the sweat and cursing, anything to take my mind off of the giant swelling on Matt's leg? Not much use having a daily ritual where nothing changes.
