Back to work

Life has returned to normal back at the Blueberry farm. We are still laying sprinklers and building irrigation for a farm. Our boss, Hanzs, is a very angry dutch man who tends to talk to himself a lot. He is also very bad at giving directions. For example, the other day he told us to seperate these pipes. Thinking it would be easy we walk over and try to pull them apart. In the mean time he leaves. After a frustrating hour he comes back and sees we have only pulled apart one pipe. He then instructs us to tie the pipes to a tree and floor the four wheeler in the opposite direction. He was amazed we hadn't thought of that yet.

Today we had 100 pickers at the farm, which was crazy. They are mostly islanders but there are still a lot of backpackers. We met some cute girls from Chile today and we are going to a waterfall with them tomorrow.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

  3. Dude, we still need a file clerk back in Austin Dennis (our file cabinet's a mess). But if you want to stay in New Zealand, frolicking with beautiful Chilean girls in waterfalls, that's your choice. :) We'll miss you at Thanksgiving, but we'll light a trashfire for you and burn an effigy of that guy in El Campo who's still looking for your yellow truck.
