Lol... the job is brutal. I've lost 40 pounds, and counting. I live on cheese, tortillas, pan-fried Australian seabass, and PBR. I now have epoxy nails so they won't tear off. I get frequent sinus infections from fungal pathogens I encounter at work, both air- and water-borne. There's swimming involved, in inhabited waters, and the inhabitants include some metazoans... I soak my feet in industrial disinfectant (virkon) a couple times a week to avoid the jungle rot. I can arm-wrestle roofers and make a contest of it (I should start actually winning soon, at this rate). I've learned that going out in public in rubber slop boots and cargo shorts gets you phone numbers from both sexes. My ass looks amazing and is hard as a rock... not like you can tell under the dirty cargo shorts.... climbing ladders with 50 lb sacks of whatsits over your shoulder is good for that. It's agriculture, all right... I love it, I hate it, I couldn't trade it for anything, but DAMN I smell awful. My hands have aged a decade in six months. I've got no fingerprints left. I carry a leatherman, a maglite, a pair of visegrips, and a circuit tester in my pocket at all times. The leatherman actually came out last night at a fancy restaurant where the bread was um.. less than tender... much to the chagrin of the bartender... lol... My house got robbed last week and I haven't had time to deal with it. They got the manuscript for a book I was writing. Not backed up recently, either. I'm broke, tired, and struggling. But I'm still here, still sleeping in my own bed at night, and sleeping peacefully.

It's life, man. You run and run and run and just hope that the course of the race is scenic. I thank my lucky stars that for every step I've taken in my journey, the vistas have been breathtaking.
