As promised

Have you ever......

heard a song from back in the day and have it immediately take you to a memory so vivid, you remember what you were feeling when you heard it, sometimes can even smell the odors that were around you.
I've really been going back through a lot of my old cd's from high school and listening to the music that was so important to me then. It's amazing how powerful some of that was, how certain songs just touched you to the core and totally spoke to what you were feeling.
Does music ever have the same impact it did then? Could you ever be so hurt as when you were a teenager, or so happy?

Melancholy thoughts I know, but still important I think. I hope all of you are well, and if you get a chance let me know your thoughts.

IT WORKS!!!!!

So I took my boat out for it's first test run on Wednesday, and the damn thing worked perfectly. It was awesome! I was probably giggling like a little girl the whole time, but I was just so happy! My first boat and it works better than I thought it would. I promise to post pictures as soon as I find the cable for my camera.

Aside from that, I've just been working and occasionally finding time to fly fish and even went out grouse hunting. I didn't get any, but still, it's nice just to be out in the woods. I'm trying not to count down the days until I have to leave here, but I'm down to my last sixteen days of work! I hope all is well in your worlds and I'll talk to all of you later.
