I am working the early shift this morning, driving down the highway to the Twisp ponds, coffee in hand Willie Nelson on the radio. There is a car in the other lane stopped with its hazzards on and a car in front of me. I figure maybe there is a deer in the road. the car in front of me stops and talks to the car in the other lane, then the car in front of me pulls over and i quickly pull over too, since there is a big dust cloud and a heard of cattle coming down the middle of the highway. Some more of that small town stuff.
We cut open our 20 fish yesterday and they all seemed healthy, minus the fact that they were dead. I also have been helping out the hatchery by cleaning the raceways that no longer house our Coho. I geared up in raingear and hit up the left over slime and fish poo with a firehose. It felt a lot like cleaning up the factory on the fishing boat, except it was nice and sunny out and raceway i was cleaning was not moving back and forth in the waves.
I am also starting a garden. There is a plot already fenced off in the yard at the office, it was a garden a couple of years ago. I tossed among the dirt the 20 baby Coho carcases from yesterdays dissection. I also have two 40lb bags of leftover Steelhead feed, I did not know this either but industrial sized bags of fish food goes bad after 3 months, not so much bad as less healthy for a growing Steelhead. I am making my boss, Kraig buy all the seeds since i will be in Alaska and unable to reep the benifits of the garden, hopefully there will be some carrots or squash still around when i come back in Oct. I need a hobby when i am not in the 'clay dude' making mood. I really want another old VW, but i don't have the extra $$ right now. keep your eyes open driving around or out walking. I want the style of the WHITE cars NOT RED
