Greetings!! Seems when it rains, it pours. For so long I had NOTHING to send you, now I
am - quite thankfully - getting information on a pretty regular basis - YIPEEEE.
So - here is GREAT news to pass on too.... Woody will likely be released this
weekend. If I get anything more specific (or for that matter anything at all)
I'll be sure to send it on. ~~ Note from Rosie Hausauer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just came back from the dairy. Went to get some clothes for Woody.
Hello Folks We were up and at AM extra early this morning. Took Steve to meet Paavo to go
to the airport. We were a little delayed as we spent time scraping ice off the windshield.
Was very thick. Have no regular scraper so we use credit cards. The heater felt
good. At the site Aare spent over a half hour trying to start the tractor. The old
girl just wouldn't fire up. Then it was my turn as I have had experience with
older women before. I gave her a big hug and kissed her right on the radiator
and she fired right up. You just gotta know how to treat them. Poor Aare, I noticed when we were finished tonight he couldn't walk forward
and he walked backwards all the way home. To much time in the tractor today
backing up. Actually I think it was his head that wouldn't turn back to the
front. We thought about some one holding his head while the rest of us twist his
body around to align his head. Yes, the radials are in, except the special runs behind the island and over
the road. All main radials are installed!!!! Tomorrow we plan to repair and
silver solder them to the 6" strap. The electric company was on site today and plowed a cable to Aare's home.
They will feed it from our transformer. I saw them all looking at the
transformer and how they were going to get a hole in the metal siding to allow
access for the new cable. I provided a drill and hole saw and made the hole.
They are not use to such high tech equipment. They usually bring a big gun and
shoot the hole in. Critter report, 3 foxes, several flocks of geese heading south ( they must
have missed the Finnair flight) This morning Taavi, Ester and Tiit was on site to see the progress. Maybe
Taavi will give a report. Took several pictures of the fall colors. So beautiful .And so it was, today Wednesday Sept 27, 00 Jim Hulse and crew ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a day. We have finished all radials!!!!!!!!!! We have silver soldered all radials to the 6" copper strap.!!!!!! We have plowed ground wires to the 3 outer anchors.!!!!!! The electric company was back in site today. Now they are hooking up Aares
house. They needed to modify the lugs to fit the connections. They used our shop
to saw, cut and smash the connectors to make them work. Finally at 12:30 we
locked up the container and left the site for lunch. On the way to the dairy we saw a car coming at us flashing their head lights
so we stopped and Corey got out and came to us in the pick up. He said there is
a emergency at Kavastu and we are needed there immediately. He jumped in the
back of the pick up and we headed for the village. He told us where to go. A friend of Caylas was injured and the ambulance was not available to take
him to the hospital. Upon arrival at the boys home we were met by several people
and the boys mother. Steve and Boo got out of the pick up and would walk to the
dairy for lunch. We loaded the injured boy, his sister who speaks English and
the mother. The 4 of us headed to Tartu hospital, all crammed in the pick up. Made good time all the way. Now I knew where to go as we took Woody to the
same place. We drove to the emergency entrance and they got out and went inside
while I parked the truck. Well guess who I parked by? Rosie was just leaving but
decided to show me where Woody was so I could see him. Had a short visit with Woody. He looked real good today and is planning to be
released tomorrow. I went back down to the emergency room to see how the progress was going. Boy
and mother was taken to a room some where else. I gave the little girl 200
kroons for a taxi back to Kavastu and left. Worked at the site till dark. Steve got the radials all soldered in. Tom and Steve started to dig the rest
of the fence posts. Tonight the report on the little boy was Yes there is a broken bone in his
shoulder. He came home with some braces of some kind. Have not seen him yet. He
was a trooper and did not cry as he was in much pain. I felt that I really did not have the time to make the hospital run but they
were depending on us to help. And so it was in Kavastu, Thursday September 28, 2000. Blessings Jim Hulse and crew PRAISE GOD for saving Woody's life!!! What a wonderful thing. Well - that's
all for this update... blessings
