Bud Light Lime, Because Regular Bud Light Is Bad For My Baby...

snax on snax

Wake up in the morning thinking about why you're glad to be awake. Move and stretch. Go to bed exhausted every night. Don't be afraid of your own sweat. Be nice to strangers and the favor will be returned. Don't be afraid of hospitality and be hospitable when you can and you will always be well fed. Follow what you dream about, what stirs you late at night. Always be prepared for rain. Hike. A lot. Don't waste time. Fix what you break. There's nothing to make you appreciate a roof and coffee like sleeping and hiking in the pouring rain for days. Have a laughing fit at least once a day. If there's a porch swing, you better damn well swing on it. There is ALWAYS time to pet baby goats. Food tastes way better when you've carried it on your back for miles. Write letters. Write lists. Even if your work is what you love, do something that isn't work in your spare time. Listen to your peers. Listen to your boss. Listen to old timers with good stories. Listen to bugs. Listen to people that have done it before. Listen to your body. Listen to the birds. Listen. Listen. Listen.

Happy Birthday America!

HEY!
Im in a hurry so this post I am just going to dump some photos and let them do the story tellin'. Off to a 12 day run starting at 1pm today. We're going to play in a creek and build fords on a trail for a few days and I can't wait. It's getting hot here! To summarize the last run- I took chainsaw training with 6 other work crew individuals. I cut down trees for 4 days and then was reunited with my work crew. it rained. so much. and hailed. I caught the philmont foot fungus but not the philmont bubble guts. fair trade if you ask me. Work crew Sierra had a family outing to Denver for the 4th of July and saw the Rockies play the Dodgers. America!

they feed us well.
