Exciting news.

Had home raised eggs and fresh wild morel mushrooms for supper tonight. Delicious.


Almost as exciting.


I got a new job. I've trying to get a job in this field, wildlife biology, for almost 4 years now. I took six more college classes and spent lots of money on education related expenses.
Major pay raise.

And a big college loan to pay off!

Glad that you got a new job! Way to go!

Does this mean that you will be out in the woods all day??? Getting paid for it???

I would love to add fiddleheads to that dinner, if I could just find some. I knew several good patches when I lived in Maine, and put a couple dozen quarts in the freezer every spring.

Awesome, Dac, good for you! Is this a completely new career for you? A mid-life crisis career change? I had one of those, I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up! Congrats!

No college loan, it was pay as you go. I had a degree to start with, I just didn't have all the right classes.

I will be in the woods a lot. I will be getting paid to do it too. I'm in the woods a lot now but this work will be less physically demanding and easier on my body and the pay will be much better.

It is not a big career change, more of a transition since I have done some of this type of work already. Not a mid life crisis either. It's more like an advancement in my second career.

It looks like I will be spending most of the summer in the Allegheny National Forest in PA.

Too bad it's not the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Idaho.

Maybe another time. Or Yellowstone.
