So, back on working in fire now for the summer, so far for PT its like we've been training for a track meet, run every day, and not nice happy running on a track runs, but more like kick your ass on a trail for a few miles kind of runs. Did I mention that there are a shit ton of cacti right on the...

0630 am, the wind is howling the weather station is reporting light snow and a wind chill of -2. time to go count trees.

Update: made it out to the plot, just barely "forested", still -2 or so and windy and snowing. we decided to call it a day at noon.

While public offices and schools are cancelling for the day because of the weather, I'm still going out to the field to count bushes, trees, and grass (the kind cows eat). Gotta love my job, the only weather that stops me from working is lightning, but thats only until it passes.

So I'm back to work starting today. First this week I'll be in the booming metropolis of Lordsburg NM, but atleast I'll be staying at the Hampton and be getting some good chili and echiladas. Then its a week back over the AZ border to another town (mostly mormon and apache) for a class for me to learn to become an engine boss. From what...
