yep....its me and its August already

Well Here I am and still alive...survived the heat, but it was miserable. Reminded me of working on the fires in Eastern Washington. Just damn hot and no matter what you did the sweat was just pouring of of ya'. Work was pretty good this past week. We took it pretty mellow due to the heat and tried to pace ourselves. Of course for some people it was easier then other. The operators have a/c in their machines....(lucky suckers) the forman has to do paper work all the majority of the time in his truck with a/c and there are those who just seem to not do anything ...the majority of the time. The other two of use just keep going and going as fast as we can to get the work done. Lots of fluid intake though. Yesterday was a good change for us. Although we had to go back up to Smokey Point, it was all overtime and that was the first Saturday we have gotten to work all year. We were all excited and game for it, despite the fact that it was hot and we put in 11 hours.
Yes, Jwf...I did have a bite of the turkey leg and it was good. Nothing like a chicken drumstick though. More grisle(spelling), but still very tasty. We all had fun and as I think I said before, the boys we pooped. As were Gabby and myself. I think just about everyone was pooped. The sun and heat just drain you of energy reguardless of you activities.
This next week is supposed to be much cooler and I am sure will be much more tolerable as far as the heat goes. Looking forward to it...working without the so much sun beating down on us.
