Some Pic's from the Ice

You all know that Susan and I have spent time in Antarctic, specifically at McMurdo Station. I have been going through some of our photo and found these and thought I would add them to this blog. Both of the pic's were taken during our last season on the ice which was from Aug 05-Feb 06. These pic's your taken during January time frame. The first one with the cross was taken off of Hut Point Peninsula which is just across Winter Quarter Bay. The cross was put there as memorial for a sailor that went through the ice as he was moving supplies around with his bulldozer in 1956. The same Sailor has a airfield named for him down there Williams Field .

The second pic was taken near Scott Base. As you look at it you can see Mt Erebus in the back ground. It is a active volcano on Ross Island. I hope you check on out a few of the links on this post and learn alittle bit about the place that Susan and I met. Susan and I have a ton of Pic's from different seasons and of different things at McMurdo and other places we have seen. If we get any comments about seeing some of these other photo's we will post them on here with a few comments.

Can You Say Relaxed?

Sorry it has been so long since I have really posted anything, so I will try over the next few days to catch up on all the things that have taken place over the last few weeks. Here is our Weekend post. This Mother's Day weekend went by without too much excitement. This was the 1st time that we had the boat in salt water. We put the boat in at Bushy Park Boat Ramp and headed out to Ft. Sumter. We floated around there, since we weren't sure that we could take Sassy into the Fort we decided not to go ashore for a look see. We will save that for the next visit and we will leave Sassy at home. After Ft Sumter we motored around over to Morris Is. and anchored off the beach and watched some dolphin play while we ate our picnic lunch. After the wind started picking up we headed back up the Cooper River. We went quite a ways up the river and shut the engine off and just floated down the Cooper. Things got alittle dicey when I looked up and decided I didn't like the look of that dark cloud that was moving very fast towards us, that is when we got alittle bit excited. We got everything latched down in the boat and headed back to the boat ramp. We were able to get the boat loaded onto the trailer and got everything in the truck, just before the Thunderstorm cut loose on us. For a Mothers Day gift Susan got a 11/2 hour visit to Stella Nova Day Spa that covered the hour body massage and another 1/2hr for just a foot massage. I spent the time have a cold frosty beverage while watching the Player's Golf Tournament at the SouthEnd Brewery. I got a big kiss when it was done. She was very happy. I think made some serious Brownie points.

Just Another Day Getting to Work on a Rainy Morning

How many times do we come to work in the morning with the rain and we have to sit and wait, because someone couldn't wait. Or we decide to take a different route believing that we have out thought everyone else just to find out that everyone else thought the same thing. How about this for a strange and almost out of this world thought. When it is nasty weather. Everyone leave alittle earlier and slow down oh and don't act STUPID and we all get to where we want to go on time without having a big dent in our car. 2 days this week and 1 last week we have had some minor weather move through here and I say minor without hesitation. What is the matter with some of these people? I know that we all have someplace to be and we all would like to get there on time, but if you don't know how to drive in rainy weather take a bus or cab and leave the roads to people that understand that you can slow down and let someone in front of you or if you know that you have to get over do so alittle bit early behind someone so that you don't cut someone off, without bringing one of the Seven Angels of the Armageddon upon the earth. Hopefully I haven't blasphemed God. Holy Mackerel people slow down just alittle bit. We all will get there.
