Less Rain More Humidity

The rain was gone and the high humidity was back for my morning run along the Brisbane River. Instead of finishing being soaking wet with rain, I was soaking wet with sweat once again. There has been a lot of talk on the news about flooding all over Australia. The rain has also caused a delay in our field work; the actual real reason I am here in Australia. Our drilling has been pushed back two weeks but we have been asked to help out with the geohazard reconnaissance. Basically this means we will be walking the pipeline alignment looking for things like erosion, landslides, etc. We are hoping not to have any more rain so that the roads can dry out and we can go out to site on Monday. The soils here have a very high clay content which causes the roads to be very slick and boggy when wet, which is the reason there is not field work when it rains. A crazy concept for us Seattleites. Can you imagine if we didn’t work in the rain? I reckon that’s all for now.
