Kodiak Bound

[NightTrain]

I'm taking off for Kodiak today for roughly 4 days... the genius that controls the awarded bids decided to wait til the last possible moment to schedule this for this year.

So, I may be working for Christmas! It's been my experience that being out of town and planning to leave on Christmas Eve hardly ever works out - normal people have planned accordingly and services shut down, as they should, which leaves contractors like me standing around in an empty airport.

That's okay, though, I'll get my honey something a little more special if I don't make it back in time.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Hope we see you for Christmas, Rick, but if not - Merry Christmas to you, Sharon and the family!! Stay warm and safe and get back home!

Merry Christmas, in case I don't 'see you' again before!

Keep hope alive!

Merry Christmas and stay safe. Your homecoming will be awesome.

Be safe and try to stay dry!

Having a couple of drinks at the Salty Dawg in Homer, waiting for the ferry. Going to be a 10 hour boat ride to Kodiak so well lubed is the watchword.

Look up the Salty Dawg on the net, it's too dark to take pics, but a mandatory stop for every tourist to AK.

I've heard of it from many Kodiak Coasties!

Can you sleep on the boat? I'm about to fall asleep any minute now! LOL!

Oh yeah. Staterooms and everything, or you can just grab a bench or chair in the observation lounge and sleep.

I'm told they removed all bars off the ferries! WTF, roger?

Note to self : hit liquor store before next 10 hour ferry trip.

You have a good trip, a little prayer that you get home Saturday or very early Sunday. Tell Sharon, Merry Christmas from me when you're back!

That is a whole lot of dollar bills!

That is a whole lot of dollar bills!

Yeah... and I didn't take a picture!

I don't know how many thousands of dollar bills are there, but it's a lot. It would probably buy me a very nice brand new boat.
On the downer side, though, they use Monarch vodka for the drinks.... that stuff is rotgut. But $4.75 for a mixed drink is pretty reasonable, these days... even for rotgut drinks!

[SassyLady]

Hope everything works out that you can be home with family on Christmas. Be safe and stay warm ... even if it's vodka induced!

[NightTrain]

Hotel coffee sucks!!!

That is all.
