Mercy sakes alive... what a week.
It's been a bit since the last post. I went oncall last Monday (02.26) and was just swamped.The week was ok, just a few calls a night. This last weekend, however, was gross. On top of that I still have to work my regular work week.
So to catch you up on the mud hole action, I'll ease back on the commentary, and just post some pics with captions. I didn't get a pic of everything, things got hairy at times, so pictures were not the first thing on my mind.

Some stuff happened on this day too, but I was way too busy to take pictures.I think that's about it for the work related things. I get another post out here soon about what I've got going on around at home.
For now I am still trying to recover from the week end, as I did not get much sleep.
I think I am sleeping right now. Maybe this is just a dream...
