We have teams blue and orange… staying at a research facility…
coincidence that these are the very colors that appear when using the Aperture
Science Handheld Portal Device!? I think
not! GLaDOS is probably housed over in
the lab—I mean, our host has never explained what goes on in there… only that
we are not allowed in. Of course human
nature is once we are told not to do something we are often times overcome with
an urge to do it. Seeing as how these
next couple of days may be our last at Peck Ranch, I don’t see the harm in
trying to sneak a peek. If this turns
out to be my last entry assume that curiosity has killed the cat.
Speaking of cats, we saw one the other day. It was black and white, well groomed, and it
did not appear to be having any trouble locating food. Perhaps it is a researcher’s pet. We also saw an owl on the way back from our
project!
Anyway, tomorrow we’re going to be performing a prescribed burn at
the Thorny Mountain Burn Unit in Peck Ranch.
It is kind of a big deal. AmeriCorps
teams blue and orange are going to be there and we’re even calling in purple to
help us and the local MDC staff out. So
long as the wind stays down and the humidity is above 25% everything is a go. This is one of several fire lines my group
has been working on for the past couple of weeks so I’m really hoping the
weather cooperates. It would be like the
cherry on top of a very successful month if we could see this particular
project through to completion. Keep your
fingers crossed!
In the event
that we are burning tomorrow, I think it is best that I turn in for the
night. We work 10 hour days, but
depending on the situation fires can take more than that—not usually for
prescribed burns, but you never know!
Today we completed our section of a fire line on the Bowman Flatts Burn
Unit, the one that required us to move stuff some 40 feet into the unit. I am having a hard time keeping my eyes
open. Uh, so, yeah, I was heading off to
go sleep. Night all!
