long day and progress on this circuit aint as fast. It leaves the road and goes through the woods and pastures for a piece. Plus at the end of one long lateral its 3 phase 336 in the swamp about 1|2 mile. Gettin in to it aint easy but the guys are gettin it done. Hopefully another day and a half or two and we'll have it. Then it will be on to another substation. Yall work safe and hope ya make it.

I have been in thibodaux La since this past Wednesday (9-3-08). We where pulled out for a couple of days by our company. We have been sleeping in FEMA 18 wheeler trailers with 36 bunk beads each and it is not to bad . With the high winds it was a safety thing. But we will be heading back 6 am Sunday. Thibodaux has some of the best customers, I would like to trade some of them with some of ours.

[Koga]

well probably stay in La. and help out . No tellin where yet . We have a week or two left here first. Damn Im tired but ya know when the lights come on , its all worth it.

we are finally getting the last ones on. All the reconnects after the electricians put the risers back up on the houses. And all the wire down calls (cable and phone BS). We still are holding on to a few contract crews cause we sent 75% of our guys to Texas. And boy do I have a few new stories ! Right now Im headed to bed again , I finally got off a little early .
