A little of my history. Regarding Fire Lookout towers in Oregon and Washington. I have belonged to "The Sand Mountain Society" since 1997. It is a Fire Lookout Historical preservation and restoration orginization. My civilian boss created it in 1989. Through this organization I was a voluteer for staffing fire lookouts on call and I would help restore and maintain the organizations charges while also being a National Guard NCO for the Oregon Army National Guard and a high tech employee in the Portland Metro area. In 2015 and 2016 my boss asked me to staff Sand Mountain lookout as a USFS employee, so I lived up at Sand Mountain Lookout for about 4 months each of those fire seasons. I'm a disabled veteran so I was able to get the position without competing for it. Yes, you can do it too. The government pay (GS-4) was much less than my civilian pay, so my boss met the difference regardless of the overtime fire season would give me. SCORE! I will soon retire from my tech job and hopefully maintain my status as a fire lookout relief for the USFS employee in the years ahead. Somehow I maintained time to hang out with Paul Harrell and the rest of the crew. There. That is who I am. I just happen to fall into things that others create. Those others need folks like us. "Here I am lord, send me."

Good morning. I'm just not feeling very committed to their success this morning. 16 months to my civilian retirement. Tic toc...

Mullet maxing for the win. 😁

Actually, one guy murked three people and ended the riot cycle.

We kinda knew where this all was going but we'll see. We ain't there yet.

I had a dream I was getting stung by flying scorpions and their stings were a necrotic type venom. I was in a GP medium tent trying to get in my sleeping bag. What the ever living hell was that about?

🤣🤣🤣

The military is a smaller org than most folks realize to include its members apparently. She's toast.🤣

Lost a Leupold cap. Any place sell these or does it require contacting @LeupoldOptics ?

Consolidate and reorginize. I got to downsize. This is just scratching the surface.

Reference.

Clark is smiling. I swear. 😁

Post hunting/butchering knife.

Some man toiled for hours over that homespun checkering,, you honor him by gripping it and hunting with it,, not bubba,, a different time,, I have a very crude postwar arisaka sporter,, it shoots sub moa,, I wouldn’t dream of cosmetically changing it,, probably ruin it

Something that non gun people will never understand is that for traditional Americans, pioneer stock, our firearms are a touchstone to the past,, whether we hunt and kill with them is irrelevant,, they provide connections and keep us close to our ancestors and our current world

A brother got his wings. Raise a glass.

Dry as a bone out here. Nearing dusk while still hunting. At least the wind is with me.
