Friday in the Perth office

This week brought to a close the fun of being off hitch.  The off hitch adventures had me in Paris and then down to Portugal for a company meeting.  The Eueropean trip was followed by a week of golfing everyday and then olayed in a golf tournament in Ogden.  The fun continued up at our cabin with friends and family going four wheeling and hiking in the beautiful mountains.  The Memorial day weekend was filled with family and snow! I was able to come down from the mountains and get on a plane for Australia.  After 31 hours in the air-I hit Aussie land!!  Jet lag is a complete bummer! I get on a plane on Monday and when I get off it is Wednesday and I am 14 hours ahead of family in Draper, Utah. I attended meetings with the management team but I really don't contribute that much-I nod alot and take great notes!!!  I was scheduled to go out to the rig on Friday and was handed the mail bag for delivery Thursday afternoon.  An hour later, I was told the rig is full and does not have bed space. I am stuck in Perth for the weekend--YEA!!  Perth is actually 20 miles from the ocean.  I will take a train and go to Freemantle which is a coastal port.  This town was built in the 1800's by slaves.  Today it is raining so I hope when my weekend adventure starts the rain will stop.  I have looked up the Perth LDS Temple and plan to make a trip that way.  I really want to just catch up on jet lag sleep deprivation but if I have some free time-I better see the sights!  Thanks for reading and have an awesome day -g'day mate!

  1. Did you ever end up at the temple? You should have announced that I was included in several of your cabin trips and I broke a 3 year trend of never going to coming up there every other weekend :)
