This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling
in
St. Johns, Newfoundland.They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships!
Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm and
the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and take this picture.
They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.
Patrick James Dunn Funny how even pecan tarts are no longer an issue for her, given that they are not gluten-free! Off to Kenora this morning to buy tomatoes and beets for pickling. Will say hello The Chip Man and Huskie the Muskie for you!
Flashing forward, I just phoned Dallas, (Thursday, August 2nd, 10:00pm, CDT), to ask if he had heard about Cody’s condition. As it happened, he had seen Kristen driving home on his own way home that evening and followed her to the house. She had brought Cody home from hospital and he was, generally speaking, not suffering from any life threatening injuries, although he was “pretty cut up”, according to Dallas. He learned that Cody had been on a fishing trip with a friend and they were driving home, “hammered”, when Cody lost control of his truck crossing a set of railroad tracks. His fishing partner left the scene of the accident after the vehicle rolled and came to a stop. Police took Cody to Hamiota and then he was taken to Winnipeg for plastic surgery once he was stabilized. According to Dallas he bit off most of his lower lip as a result of the crash, along with suffering other serious facial lacerations/injuries. Dallas said that Cody didn’t want him to see his face but Dallas persisted and said he looked a mess.
When Dallas walked up to the house Yoda came to greet him and when Dallas said “Hi Yoda” the dog gave him a very quizzical look as Dallas had never seen him before. Kristen was just as puzzled until Dallas informed her of our extended stay. According to Dallas, she wasn’t at all upset by our “freeloading visit”, rather found it quite amusing, especially given the fact that Cody was now out of danger. Dallas said that he would invite them over for a drink, (I suppose Cody will be having soda water!), when we stay, on the farm, not in Kenton this time around, on our way back to Vancouver, so that we actually have a chance to meet our unknowing hosts!
