Techicolor Dreams

My life has been a blur since I left MTI. I made my first call on a carrier that I was referred too.

Bingo...I am employed. Perhaps not the best contract but it is a gig.

I didn't realize that I would be jumping into the deep end of the pool but more on that in later posts.

I parked at a turn off in the dark. I was on my way from a town with no water pressure...Macklin Saskatchewan... with 30 tons of pipe for recycling. I was weary from the drive and weary from the impact of the absence of my family.  I parked and passed out.

I dreamed of my family. The emotion was intense. The colors were in sharp relief and the joy of holding my daughter was irreplaceable. A blue ray video of my family... Happy and together. My reality had been changed. When I awoke, the after glow of the perfect joy of knowing the intimacy of my family was ebbing. It was replaced by the morose shroud that the dream was gone. 

The day was cold. Time to move on and check the tractor. I opened the door and this was the sight I saw. It is hard to convey the impact in a blog photo. The scenery over whelmed by sight and my mind.

One scene changes to the next...
