I've been told...

I've been told I need to do more posts, I'm not letting people into my life enough. So I thought I would try.

What's been happening in old North Fork? Well we have been little busy bees. With rafting season in full swing, we do any average of 20 milkshakes a day, going as high as 50 a day. At 4.75 a pop you can do the math, but let me tell you it's not easy money, bruises and cramps, come soon after three buses come in at once. We are starting to get more of the local crowd coming back from Salmon, I can't decide if this is a good thing or not, these people are bitter about something, I can't figure out why.

We have our first fire of the season, it's not too far from here and not very large, about 25 acres. I got a call last night that the Forest Service needed 35 sack lunches. Now that may sound like a minimal challenge but these guys are on a strict diet, they have to have 3 1/2 oz of meat and cheese on each sandwich, (they each get two sandwiches each), they also have to have, a piece of fruit, with the stem and sticker removed, a candy bar with no chocolate, a granola bar or cookie, a fruit juice, and a protein of some sort we gave them beanie weenies, after all that work, we had to feed 20 firefighters at 6:30, let me remind you we don't open until 7:00.

I can say I'm glad we are a seasonal business, I'm sick of stinky people, and milkshakes, now let me tell you something rafters stink. I don't get it I have been on week long camping trips, didn't shower and I know for a fact I didn't smell like the people coming off the middle fork. Deodorant people, deodorant!!!

I can't wait for winter, skiing and less people, we make less money but holy hell I'm ready!!!

Brian and I are thinking we will head south for our month off, I really want to take Brian to South Padre Island... We can't decide was month to take, Nov to Dec or Jan to Feb. I will keep you updated.

Well I guess I let you in to my head, even though its not that exciting you were able to know what I'm thinking and what I'm doing.
