saturday

a lovely weather day. even warm this evening. just came in from having a beer with louie. this morning we had a group come in from the river and are out of aniak already. also had a group of 3 come in today and will be floating tomorrow. lou and i had all their gear loaded and rob took it to their drop-off location only to have them change their mind about where they are floating. so at 9:15pm this evening lou and i had to get another load of gear all set up and loaded in the truck for the new location. oh well. did piddly chores today...mowed the rest of the lawn, made phone calls, answered emails, trying to learn what all nat did regarding paperwork. this evening marie made dinner and ran out of food. we had plenty more to cook up, however people had to wait 30 min to eat it. ouch. she was very embarassed. poor lady. and i, being the manager get the privilege of telling her we can't run out of food again at mealtimes. wasn't easy, and i overheard her speaking with lou about portion size for men. don't think it will happen again. let's hope not. so yesterday when marie and i were cleaning bunkhouses, i was taking off the sheets to wash them and what i found in the bed was something i never even thought i would find. much to the amazement of myself and marie there was a small bottle of lotion, a blue latex glove, and a Time magazine. when i found it, i stopped and just stared, then started laughing and called marie over to take a look. what disturbed me was the fact that it was a Time magazine. immediately i ran inside to get my camera and took pics. lou heard me laughing and asked what was going on and when i told him his response was, "eewww, did you touch it, did you touch it"? and i said, well i HAD to touch it! and lou said, "well you know what was in the glove don't you"? of course i know what's in the glove. yuck!!!!! anyway, i told rob and later that night one of the crew asked him if anyone found something in the bed, and he told them yeh, and liz took pics. turned out to be a joke that they played on each other. thank goodness...cuz, i understand you gotta do what you gotta do, but yuck. at least get rid of the evidence.
