Random mumblings around the fire.

I have some great holiday news.
I have worked as a US Army communications contractor for 6 years and our contract was ending December 31st.
About a month ago our whole crew applied for government jobs doing what we already do and yesterday we all found out we are getting the jobs!
A very small cut in pay but (for the young guys) gaining some job security and benefits package.
We generally maintain ALL of the communications cables on the entire White Sands Missile Range (140 square miles).

This Holiday Season I truly wish all of those not as fortunate the luck that I have had in my life and Best Wishes and Happy Holidays.

I had a ball today!

It was cloudy, 40*, and virtually no wind. The wind which accompanied our last big front had blown an old, hollow tree (about 40'tall) over onto its neighboring tree roughly 20' away. Rather than use a chainsaw, I brought it down with a fire built inside the hollow trunk. As the fire consumed the trunk, the limbs slowly slid to the ground where they could be easily cut up and thrown onto the stump to burn it away. By the time evening came, the entire tree was a large pile of hot coals. I love a good fire!

I stumbled across the ashy remains of this old campfire. I wonder what stories might have been told around it?

Well, being on a summer campout, I think I might try to light a small fire here and see what happens...
