A Brush-Cutter No More!

As the title says, I'm done! My last day was Thursday and gosh was I happy about that. The last three days that I was out in the field, we were experiencing a little bit of snow, but Thursday was the absolute worst. It snowed for a couple hours starting late morning, then turned to rain. We were drenched, the wind was blowing, the brush was infuriating. Even I could barely keep my cool (figurative cool... I was very cool temperature-wise).

All in all it was a good gig. I'm glad I went back for this second shift to make a few more bucks. I also made some friends along the way and got to know people that I feel like I should have known before. I'm going to miss the social parts of it - like being chipper at 6 am before everyone has had their coffee :D

So now I'm hanging out in Kokhanok for a few days to a week. Rob and Beth got two horses recently and I'm having a lot of fun going with Beth to take care of them and helping her get things better set up for them. I've also been helping the brothers a little bit. Yesterday we ran up the bay to get a lumber mill. That was quite the feat of strength between us and Colter. We managed somehow, but part of me wishes that they had brought another man along instead of putting such a vote of confidence in the strength of their sister, as flattering as it may be.

And soon I have to think of the things I better do when I get back down to Naknek. I don't get to be there long until I'm off on my U.S. travels. Everything should be fine though. Like I always say - I can sleep when I'm dead.
