Summer Vacation Report

[Wiregeek]

This summer, for my summer vacation, I...

OK, I haven't _had_ a 'vacation' this summer. I've been working my tuchus off since the snow went away. I'm having a blast, but I'm
ready for winter - I need a break!

So far I've been busy doing-

-acquiring firewood (to the tune of 8 cords approximate)

-learning to drive a boat (14' rubber w/30 horse, 21' aluminum w/115 horse on the ocean)

-learning to drive and back a trailer (see above boats).

-fishing (Willow Creek, Willow, Alaska. Deshka Landing. Burma Landing. Lake Louise. Valdez. Jim Creek. The Eklutna Tailrace. Sarah Lake. The Little Susitna.
Sheep Creek. Finger Lake. Kepler-Bradley Lake.)

-Shooting (Put some rounds through the new (used) .357 Magnum I got my dad for his birthday, .22 revolver, .22 automatic, .380 automatic, .44 magnum, .460,
.308 (AK-47 variant), .30-06, .375 H&H Magnum)

-Driving. I did one weekend at Clear Air Force Station, (488mi round trip)and one weekend in Valdez (550 mi round trip), and I've done the Kenai several
times (Average 450 mi round trip).

-Hunting (gone out for birds a couple times, getting ready for Hunting The Wily Møøse)

-Shopping (I've purchased a 4 wheeler, multiple guns, and quite the pile of boaty bits)

-Mechanical work (the above mentioned 4 wheeler is a 1992 suzuki with 508 original miles on it. It's in damn good shape, but it's not perfect)

-Building (I've spent almost every sunday this summer working on a friend's cabin. We started from trees, the kitchen cabinets should be in by this
sunday)

-Work Work (I've been maintaining a 40 hour work week in all of this)

So, what have you been doing this summer?
