Weekend

Well, summer is officially here for the kids and for me. Got up early Saturday and went to our yearly fishing derby at Greenhorn Lake here in Yreka. Kids didn't catch anything but we had fun sitting around the lake for a few hours, getting a lunch, and visiting friends. Then that night we went to our local races at the fairgrounds. We have a great racing circuit, 1/4 mile circle dirt track, and people come from Oregon for our races. It goes from 600 pm until about 1100-midnight. We always have a blast there. Today was vegetable day where everyone just lounges around and takes it easy. Kids slept in, did their chores, and have been relaxing. I did my chores early with a dump run and some laundry and have been vegging on the tube all day. Will be getting the kids a summer pass at our city pool and dropping the kids off there while I do a job or two. They love the pool and spend a lot of time there.

Ang has been having easier days this weekend. She mowed lawns around the station Saturday and was in Dorris doing the PR thing at their "Adventure Days". So thats always a nice break. She will actually be in Yreka Monday with her crew for some big USFS orientation day but Ang is just there for help cus she's already been through it all. Most of the Forest Service hirees are starting now so it was nice having her start up earlier than every one else. School starts for me Tuesday night, 3 hour class from 600-900 at night and again on Thursdays. Super accelerated class in the summer. Bye for now.

Yesterday was dinner at the race track and tonight was quiche. Ang made a bunch of awesome quiches which we had Friday, tonight, and will probably have tomorrow night to finish them off. They were all spinach/bacon/mushroom, and were packed with goodies. Sooooooo Gooooood!!!

June 2011

June is here!  While the fire season may not have kicked off here in Humboldt county, everywhere else is pretty active.  Our forest is almost depleted and down to drawdown numbers.  All of this means its been majorly busy sending these crews, engines, and overhead resources to all parts of the country.  We have people in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Alaska, Georgia, and Colorado.  Picking up some more overtime days (like today) which is nice.  Makes for shorter weekends but the extra money comes in handy 8) Running is still going strong, my form changing has been developing nicely and every run seems to get better and stronger.  Almost all the initial aches and pains I was expecting from reading SO much have disappeared and am feeling most excellent.  I have a local Six rivers Running Club run this Saturday called the Dow's Prairie Run 2m/6.1m.  I am going to run the 6.1 miler.  Its free, kickback, and should be fun, incorporating it...

Running

I titled this post running because that seems to be the latest activity to spring forth in my life.  I've always been a runner, and loved it.  Most of my running has been shorter runs associated with some sport I was in.  Never thought about running for distance until a friend turned me on to its wonderful powers of clearing the mind and soul.  So gathering some long-lost self-motivation, I set out to run. My first few runs weren't what I was looking for.  They felt good but my (hand-me-down) shoes needed replacement, my form was for short runs, I was more tired than I expected, and a little worried.  So the first thing my 'coach' recommended was start at the beginning, with the most important item: shoes.  I went to a Fleet-Feet in Sacramento and got custom fitted with some shoes, complete with fancy inserts. I ran my ass off after getting those shoes, logging almost 20 running miles in that first week.  The runs felt great, but was still worried...

Star Wars and other late night mumblings

The Star Wars circle has been complete. I first saw Star Wars for my 8th birthday (I think) and have followed ever since. I am now complete. I knew love would be the reason for Anakin's turn as soon as he fell for Amidala in I. So, why is the light side associated with no love while it takes the dark side to embrace the passion? Why did the Jedi have to torture a man's natural needs by restricting his own emotions? Embrace elements of both sides and use the powers from each. Whatever. One final down, 3 to go. XBox 360 coming out Holiday season. Gonna be absolutely incredible machine with computing power more than my present computer. Will replace the DVD player, be a photo viewer, music box, gaming, online marketplace, and a lot more. The games are going to look and do look incredible. E305 really showed some great stuff. PS3 is looking excellent too but I'm an XBox player now after enjoying the great online play and community. Women produce anywhere form 75-90 percent of t...
