I got two calls tonight about a work mission trip to Diamond, Louisiana.
They needed my federal identification number for down there among some other
information.
I was invited to go along the week of Christmas and figured it was all
over by now since I heard nothing since. If all goes well I'll fly down the
25th of the month and stay for a week for sure to start. Nothing is for sure
at this point yet. There are a number of things that need to happen real soon
if I am going to make the list of needed people.
The area is Plaquemines Parish, south of New Orleans. Over a 100 projects
are in progress in the swampy area and most are on posts and pilings driven
into the bed below the mud. The area includes the first miles of the
Mississippi River.
I guess some shorts and long pants will be in order along with bug
repellent. I will be getting a list of tools they want me to take or send
down. This will be the first test for my dell mini 9. Verizon better have a
good signal down there.
