Blarg.

So. Awhile since the last post here and even longer since I had anything of substance to say. Last night - all night - was my first day of real work this winter - I've done a fair amount of sitting around waiting for work up until now.

Didn't go great. Not badly. But not great. If we drill too deep, there's a $50k fine, and one thing I'm out here to do is to prevent that. So when I see signs that it's time to stop, I stop. Better safe than sorry, y'know. But sometimes geology is complicated and not helpful, and it was last night.

So I saw my indications that it was time to stop drilling even though in my heart I didn't think it really was. But better safe than sorry. So it would've been nice to drill a few meters deeper, but no real harm done that we didn't. And I would make the same decision again based on what I was seeing.

But it costs a lot of money to drill these holes, and I'd like to be making perfect decisions. But I did the right thing stopping when I did, and I'm not second guessing myself. And I'm standing by my actions. I just wish I could make perfect decisions all the time and not have information out there that indicates I should do something when ideally I wouldn't.

That and I didn't sleep all night; got a few hours earlier this morning, but I'm still not feeling too hot right now. I'll have time in the next few days to catch up.

That and my communications out here have been awful. Usually the satellite internet is great, but I think there are way more rigs out working right now than they'd planned on, and conswquently there's nowhere near enough bandwidth. It's been painful. Worse than the worst dial-up connection you can remember. Hopefully will improve in the next few weeks, but we'll see.

Good luck with the move.
