Left Eugene one month ago today
The time has gone by very fast; it is a month ago today that I left to come here. I remember one of the first things Francis had me do was take some of the crew around to read the meters. Today he had me take Steven Okeny around to set up a meter reading route. But today I knew where I was going and figuring a route was quite easy. Of course we are only dealing with a little over a 100 meters. Still I was surprised at my knowledge of the town and the roads. Other than that I spent most of my day hauling the crews around. We needed a hole dug and I took Augusta out to dig it. For this particular hole, a house had to be torn down so we could get it in the right place. I guess they are going to move the road and some houses were built on its right of way. The first picture is of Augusta. All these guys always look younger than they tell me they are, but I find it hard to belive this guy is 21. The next picture is one of the reasons we built the new line. They are building a new building for the county. Notice the lack of backhoes and other equipment you would see on a construction site in the U.S. The last two are of one of the trees that had to be removed for a line that has to be built soon. It was not real tall but was very wide. I would say it was about 4 feet at the butt and I'm not too sure about 50 feet tall.
