Whittaker Job

Kaleb took a two week job working in Grace, Idaho with Whittaker. He's getting paid good money to be on a crew patching a 12 ft wooden pipeline of holes. They are walking through the inside in pure darkness other than where slivers of light cast through holes in the pipe. He is enjoying himself. He didn't want to stay in a motel and eat out every day so he found this little RV park in the middle of absolutely NO WHERE to camp. He is cooking his own food and camping every day.
He is loving it! I brought him a wind shield for the camp chef today because the wind just blows and blows up there. I didn't want to go home. I was thinking that I could just stay there and have some rest and quiet time. It is beautiful out there. Nothing is around but crops.
Kaleb's Home Sweet Home
Kaleb's essentials in life....hand sanitizer and apples!
Here is the Stave that they have been working on.
Kaleb and the guys kept joking around saying, "meet you at the Stave", like it was the place to be. Kaleb wanted to make it look like a post card. So of course Kirk had to make one....
 He also just signed on with Whittaker full time. The next job is down in St. George. They will be digging basins or something. Anyway, they have to have a Wildlife Management on site because of the number of desert tortoises down there, and every time they dig a hole the tortoises gravitate to the hole. Hmmm.....sounds like Alexander. Every time we would dig a hole for the sprinklers, he's got to come stick his nose in there to see what you are doing. We are going to miss Kaleb. We knew this was a possibility but now that it is actually happening, we are all having to adjust.
He's getting one step closer to working in Antarctica.
