My head and that space between my shoulders hurt! Maybe I’m suffering from Mako poisoning. Maybe I am about to sprout a wing and have an
identity crisis—the outcome of which may determine the fate of the world. Most likely it is just the effects of day 9
of our 10 day seeping in… although now I can’t stop thinking about the
Lifestream. Well, we will just have to
see what the final day has in store in terms of my well-being.
I do think I am going a little crazy though. Yesterday I thought I heard Chelsea tell us
to wear regular work clothes today for our service project. It wasn’t until Kelly Kaufmann asked me why I
wasn’t wearing my Nomex 2 minutes before we were supposed to leave that I
realized everyone else was dressed in theirs.
Chelsea’s solution to my befuddlement was to have me chainsaw all
day. So I did.
I ended up cutting down 9 adult Red Cedars and some 20 to 30
adolescents. Sadly only the adult Cedars
get a tally mark so my day doesn’t look that great on paper. I would have done even more but Buford ended
up dying on me after lunch while I was preparing a tree and Slagathor was just
being a nuisance. He would just start up
and shut down when he pleased. So we’re
not on speaking terms right now.
Hopefully the cold shoulder will knock some sense into him. Anyways, my trophy for the day was another
Red Cedar 18 inches in diameter (tied for the largest I’ve done). It had limbs that would have needed face cuts
had they been planted in the ground.
Limbing up that sucker took over an hour no thanks to a certain chainsaw
*glares at Slagathor,* but we got it done.
After watching
Richard and Chelsea play Cribbage throughout our 10 day I decided I had a firm
enough understanding of the rules to give it a shot. It was a little different as I always watched
2 people play it and we had 3 players, but I caught on quickly. I gave her a run for her money, but Chelsea
came out on top. She usually wins
Cribbage, but hey, coming in 2nd place on my first try isn’t bad either! Time to drift off though. Here’s hoping a bit of sleep will cure my
ails. Night friends!
