Snakes & Gays

So I stayed up late last night talking to Eric, we were planning our weekend at Omaha Pride. Basically it is going to be a drunkfest, which I am excited for, duh. I totally forgot though to write before I went to bed so this post is me reminiscing about yesterday. I'm going to do it in bulleted format.

• Did water quality testing, this time I went further upstream at Borman bridge and didn't get when, much unlike the last time we went there and the water went over my waders.
  
• Ran into the Middle Niobrara Natural Resource District day camp, they were taking kids out on the river and showing them what is all to see. We talked for a while, and by we I mean me, Tim scares the kids, and the kids probably scare him. I really do like working with kids though, I remember when I was a counselor at Camp Kindle I got to take the kids on the nature hikes, they loved it and I loved it that they loved it. There was actually this one girl who said her favorite show was Nova, I am never going to forget her.
• Went hiking on the trail at the wildlife refuge, ran into a rattlesnake, it has been two weeks on the job already and I run into a god damned rattler. I will be damned if I lived on Bar 25 for 18 years of my life and never got bit and then I get bit this summer. I of course was in my flip flops and shorts.
  
• Ran into some kayakers, one of them was super gay. Said he wanted to be an environmental studies major.
  
• Spent the rest of the day doing odd jobs around the station. I replaced a seat on the canoe. I thought of myself during my retirement working on canoes in my shop, good quality craftsmanship, yup that'd be me, widdlin' away on my boats.
  
• I was talking to Britanni on the phone in my car and I realized how filthy it was. I then decided to clean my car once I was done talking to her. The ho was distracted so the conversation was short, usually we chat for a good hour.
