Felling

Cisco and I started the huge task of felling all the hazardous dead beetle-kill trees in the Grand Lake housing area. We flagged 65, but those are only the REALLY bad ones. Both of us were excited to get to start doing more cutting than paperwork, and we started an hour early today just to get to the West side and start working earlier. Normally this would be ok, but last night was so warm and nasty in my apartment that I just couldn't sleep! In any case, we cut down, bucked up, and piled slash for 17 lodgepole today, and I am exhausted. We get to do this again tomorrow, and probably the day after that, and the day after that...

I loved it. :)

After setting Truck up for a tune-up/pre-trip check (might go to Montana this weekend to visit Red Rock Lakes), I went to the coffee shop and asked Chris what he wanted to make. He suggested a Kind Shake with espresso and caramel because he likes it; so I ordered one and gave him the leftover shake. We were both happy with the arrangement. :)

It's storming here again. Still didn't finish moving my stuff to Lyons; something always seems to come up lately, or it's raining. No big hurry. And I STILL haven't called my mom back. She's been trying since Friday. Woops. ;)

Tim was bounced from Arizona, to Utah, back to Arizona for fire... but he still hasn't even seen fire. I'm kindof glad now I wasn't dispatched, though the money would be really nice right about now!
