Day 132

there has been a lack of focus on this blog the past few days. i apologize for this. i've been putting in some extra work outside on the landscaping job because it's suppose to rain soon. most of the posts of the past couple days have come just after a shower or minutes before passing out for the night while fully clothed in jeans and a fresh tshirt. i've been doing that a lot lately- sleeping in pants because of weariness.

i've been talking to some fernie locals via couchsurfing.com and one person has offered help in finding some work. couchsurfing.com people are good.

during today's hours of sweating and riding the tractor up and down the steep hill to get loads of mulch, i thought about burgers. bbq burgers. to my delight, as i spent my last ounces of energy spreading one last load, my friend's dad, who's an awesome cook, asked from the porch if i wanted burgers tonight.


after a fulfilling dirty, i'm a good tired and contentedly full.

Day 94

starwood is going well. camp is running smoothly so far and this fourth week of junior highers is by far the best behaved group yet.

during break today, an australian friend and i went among the thorns to get berries. eat berries. my legs and arms are kinda scratched, but it was good.

tonight, our boss russ took us to his house down in crofton for a video team cookout. a new angle of the mainland mountains caught my eye from the view on the back porch and dill dusted buns were an extraordinary compliment to awesome grilled burgers. we sat around and shared random funny stories about traveling or heard various adventures his band had back in their touring days.

the same girl keeps making comments about the remaining days of camp. i think she said it's now around nineteen or something. unbelievable.
