Time for a little breather. I am updating my blog now. I am doing both challanges today. Icouldn't get the muppet test to work yesterday but I tried again today and it worked but Icouldn't figure out how to post it here. I am Rolf the Dog. That was fun. For today's my first job next to babysitting is I went and picked raspberries for three weeks at Bear Lake. I was 14 or 15 at the time. I went two years. It was a lot of work but fun to, probably because I was with a great group. What was even better about this was that I was on my own for three weeks, well away from my family, I was with a group from my area that went up together. I made pretty good money but it took me the hard way to learn to budget it. I spent it like crazy the first week I was there. After that I was way more careful about it. They paid us in cash at the end of each day, so you can now see how it was a temptation.

It has been a couple of crazy couple of days. Josh has been back and forth on a wildland fire in Hansel Valley. On Saturday we had a lightning storm move through and it sent everything into an uproar around here. Within a half hour there was at least 10 lightning strikes that required personal on. As each dept. finished w/ their call they were transfered out to Hansel Valley. So like from about 10pm Saturday to 7pm Sunday Josh was gone out on the fire. Needless to say he missed work that night but thankfully it doesn't count against him. Then he went back out at 8am Monday and made it back home long enought to change clothes and then head into work. He didn't go out today because he was catching up on sleep but he could have. Tomorrow is kind of a wait and see day. So it has been crazy and fire season is definitly here.
