As today is April fools day, I guess the joke is on
me as I have accepted a job in Alaska for the summer at the Mt.
McKinley Wilderness Lodge. This will be the second time working in
Alaska and this job comes with an indoor
toilet.. ;-) ( http://www.princesslodges.com/mckinley_lodge.cfm)
I will be about 40 miles from the location of the Talkeetna Fish Camp where I
worked in the summer of 2005 and was blessed with the Lime Green
Outhouse. I pretty much know what to expect but being in
one place for 4 months may get a little tiring.
This
past winter was spent doing handy man jobs and buying a new place to
live..... yes, at some time in the future I will 'moving on down' to a
1 bedroom 1 bath condo with a carport instead of a garage. It will
take a lot of thinning down of "things" (junk) to move from
my current 1,200 sq ft to 780 sq ft. I will likely get rid of
all my tools and hang up my tool belt and start a simpler phase of my
life. It is only a couple of miles from where I live now.
I got
out last week for 1 night of camping :-( and am really missing
the long trips I have taken in past years. The weather just wasn't
great this year and now the weather is perfect and I have too much
work to get away. Since I leave shortly there will likely not be any
more chances this spring to get away.
My Mother came for a weeks visit over New Year and
we went to the Rose Parade on Jan.1 and did the touristy things here
in Palm Springs. She had great weather and I think she really enjoyed
her time in the Mojave.
The trip I had planned to Europe this spring is
cancelled as my traveling buddy who works for Princess did not get his
concession trip. Probably just as well since I will be gone most of
the summer anyways......
I have just implemented a "30-30
Warranty" for this Web Site. Read about it: [

So, as the song says " See you in
September... " Have a great Summer!
