 Natasha and myself at the TEG building during layout of the concrete pedestals. Our crew set 450 bolts within 2mm tolerance and only had one bolt out of place which they were able to drill in after the concrete set. What a professional group of surveyors I had the priveldge of working with.

 It got cold in November 2005. The goggles came in handy when the dust storms hit.

Anatoli peeling an apple on the train. On one of the trips to Yuzhno Anatoli came to my compartment and we shared a shot of vodka in the dark. That was such a special moment and one I shall never forget. Neither of us could speak the others language but that didn't matter. Thanks Big Boss Man!

 Anatoli bought a new hat while home in Kharbarosk. It don't get much more Russian than that fur hat!
