Well, as some of you may know, I got the dream job of working with TNC burning the Florida forest. Unfortunately I am only doing it for 6 weeks. But, fear not, as I have gotten a second cool job to keep me busy for at least the next year...
I am working with Our Towns Habitat for Humanity in Huntersville/Davidson. I am supplies and equipment mangament supervisor, which means not only do I get to build and work on houses, I also get to keep track of who has the nails and where the tape measures all went. I am pretty stoked. I am turning into this outdoorsmen, rugged, homebuilding, humanitarian guy. Pretty soon all the women will flock to my steel-like carpenter forearms and smell of smoke as a result of burning the forest. and then I will RULE THE WORLD MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
But seriously, I am doing well in the whole not-making-money area, accumulating lots of stories for my first New York Times bestselling autobiography.
peace,

Newest Job
Wanted: Person with prescribed fire experience, must enjoy riding on ATVs while laying down fire and/or putting out fire. Ability to use a chainsaw a plus. Must be willing to work in Florida, 1 hour from your cousin in Tampa and 1 hour from an east coast beach. Bring your surfboard. Must also be good with hands, as we build all our own fire engines and pumps. Experience living in 100+ year old houses is good, especially if you dont mind not paying rent. If you are currently living with 10 other people and would enjoy only living with 3 other people, please mention that. Pay is $12/hour, but we will also pay overtime should you get the pleasure of setting fire for more that 40 hours per week. Up to $100 will be reimbursed once you buy your cool new fire boots, the coolest footwear you could wear to any job. There will likely be some wildfire suppression work allowing you to complete your Type 1 Fire Fighter (FFT1) taskbook, allowing you to be a squad boss and work closer to being a burn boss. Blah, blah, blah, this is the coolest job ever, blah blah blah.
FL, here I come.

Its dang hot!
Here we are in Louisiana, home sweet Louisiana...and dang its HOT! Actually, its just really humid, but at times is just feels really hot. Maybe I forgot about it, or maybe all my teammates ranting has gotten to me.
We are working on mold remediation and treatment of houses. First, we go in and rip everything out...well, hopefully not everything. Today I broke a pipe and we had ourselves a little indoor thunderstorm. But, almost everything gets taken out. then we started to scrub the walls with wire brushes. Tommorrow, we will spray termite stuff all throughout the house and eventually paint it with some special primer called Kilz.
27 days until AmeriCorps is over! 14 days left until this project is over. 27 days until i become homeless, jobless, and uninsured. To the couch batman! July 4th the part house becomes no more. Anyone want to buy a Kawasaki 550 jetski? Anyone selling a jetski trailer?
I just started reading a book about smokejumping...I could see myself doing that in 5 years. Only gotta work half the year to. I dont know if they provide health insurance though. Definately gotta have health insurance. Apparently, jumping out of a plain into forest fire is a little...whats the word? DANGEROUS!
Times up on the public computer. Gotta run. Love y'all.
