What the hell were we thinking?

Oops...


Has a sober person ever held a 40oz bottle of Mexican death hootch and said I think that it would be a good idea to consume you in entirety?

I believe I know what the answer is…Needless to say it was an awful morning.

Just because more people are leaving camp it is not a good idea to break out the tequila.

After the champagne…

and the beer…

and the martini…

and more beer.

Three planes today. Float planes. Last month I built a fabulous dock for it. I was hung over then too. Thankfully we are having a crew change on the float plane because the last guy sucked. We haven’t used the dock once in the last 4 flights. In fact I just kept wading back and forth within 5 feet of my lovely dock but not on it. Yesterday was a laugh riot. Windy like you wouldn’t believe…and cold too. Float plane came and tried to dock but couldn’t. It rolled out 6 barrels of fuel and then left.

Too rough.




I spent 20 minutes up to my waist in freezing cold water. I even had the man killers on but they didn’t really help much as they only go half way up my thighs. The water was warm on the inside of the boots though. As for the top half, let’s just say that it took near 24 hours for my testicles to descend into their rightful position.

That waters cold!

Today almost no wind, should have been a cinch to cozy in tight to the dock…

We get a better pilot later today.

I am tired of getting wet.
