the first few days



well made it to russia,  (is it normal for the passangers on the plane to clap when you touch down on land?)  and the next day was at work.   i meet outside at 415am with the crew,  we are doing two shifts.   the first day started by detaching a winch cable from an anchor when an operator ran out of fuel with 1500 feet of cable out,   it only took 3 hours in the dark to get it off the anchor and wrapped around the blade.  good start.    second day the rental van which looks like the mystery mobile didnt start after beating on the starter it got going  and the headlight wouldnt turn on,  classic,  third day got to work and same guy who ran out of fuel double detracked his cat.   welcome to russia,  where not too many speak english, the sun rises at 9 am the drivers make puerto rico drivers look like grandma is driving the supermarket is like xmas and you wake up and check three things  is there water? what color is it? and is it going to get warm for a shower?   the pic of the night is the base of the resort at 430 am,   and here is a pic of what will be considered my russian wife,   some how i have made it along way and am now given the chance to build the pipe it seams like alot riding on me since it is a real popular show.  the general manager of rosa khutor said he has herd alot about me and my work and is happy to have me here with my skills.   rosa khutor is the resort name but the k is silent  and pronounced hooter...  funny   i now work at a resort named basically rose's hooters. WTF?   hell of a name huh.
