Back to Grand Isle

Eds Adventures:  I am back in Grand Isle on Friday. The contract did not go through for the observer job thanks to BP refusing to follow NOAA direction to set up a monitering system for the skimmers out on the water to test for water quality and marine life. So much for all their promises. I spent the last 4 days in a hotel waiting to hear about the assignment and now am in more debt thanks to BP. Sure would be nice if they started paying up like they say they are.

A few days rest was much needed but as you know me I went stir crazy after a couple of days and am glad to go back to helping out tomorow and hope to get a job with wildlife and fisheries soon.  Just keep plugging away. So many people are not getting paid and it is hard to see them working hard and getting burned. 

Not much else to report here, the camper is back up at Grand Isle St Park and it is hot as ever. Hope to get on a boat with shade tomorrow. Stopped by the marina and Mark, the director of Wildlife and Fisheries was talkiing with congressman and hopefully more will start happening. Always hoping. He will be surprised to see me back after leaving on Monday for the other job. Hopefully he will be happy to have me back.

My associate, Terrance who was waiting also waiting to here about the job stayed with me in HOuma and came down to Grand Isle and staying here for a week or so helping out. It will be niec to have the company and someone splitting the cost.

Will keep up with the progrees out on the water starting tomorrow.

Take Care

Ed
