Wow many trees! That's awesome! ^^ You're awesome! XD

I hit my 3,000 day. 3,060 to be exact. Looks like I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. I hope to better that this week.

We celebrated the summer solstice 2 nights ago. The sun was out till around 10:30, which is an hour later than we normally go to sleep. But that night we partied hard till 11:30! which is a lot when you consider we get up at 5 AM to plant trees for 10 hours straight. It's actually a lot of fun celebrating an actual global event as opposed to some silly made up holiday. It's the kind of thing I'd like to push for more in the normal world.

Oh yeah, the day before I got very high and read Ou Est Charlie?. So take that Ministaff! Ou Est Charlie? Ou N'est Pas Charlie? That's the real question. Guy goes everywhere.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I planted 4 day lilies 2 hostas and a bunch of petunias the other day.



Wow. You planted 3000 trees in one day?

I can't do 3000 of anything in one day, except blink.

So you plant 10hours * 60 mins is 600 minutes divided by 3000 trees. So you plant 5 trees per minute?



That's an impressive tree:stof ratio you have going there. My measly 2 trees in my lifetime is looking weedy.

I blame Canada! Way too much open space, here in the UK you would be lucky to find a space big enough for more than 1 stof-days worth of trees.

They were seperate occasions. Some idiot left their care package by their tent instead of locked in the pantry. Once the bears find food they generally stay. Unopened beer cans are usually safe, but for some reason the bear took both boxes out of the hole I dug (keeps them so cold) and crushed a few of them. It's annoying because now I have to find a way to bear proof my fridge. A fridge which is about 3 inches from my tent.

As for the chasing. That's just sort of what you have to do. For a couple days there were about 3 bears that kept coming in to camp. So we'd just chase them away. It's pretty funny when you're in your sleeping bag, you hear someone shout BEAR!!! and you just groan and roll over. It turns out black bears are pretty much just big raccoons.

I haven't read this part, but looks like the wild life made you some kind of fearless man...

You are like a golden god. Have fun getting your freak on out there in the wild and wooly wilderness.



Well it looks like tree planting isn't quite done with me yet. I just signed on for a July contract in Alberta. I'll have about 5 days of rest before flying out there and doing it all over again.

Fuck I love planting trees.

I'm also kind of drunk right now. We had a wine and cheese party on the dock by the river. Some nice lady from the Anglican church brought us some desserts. Thanks religion!

Stof: I have watched Firefly. I have four episodes to go.

Why was it cancelled? Bastards.
