hi to all my golo friends

Published May. 10, 2008

I just wanted to say Hi to all my GoLo friends!  I have been incredibly busy getting ready for the Alaska wildfire season, and have been out in the bush for a while, but back in town for a week.  It is beautiful here, in the upper 60s and sunny almost ALL THE TIME!!  Summers are so unbelievable here.  The snow is all but gone (just the big piles left) and summer is on us in a flash.  People here are busying themselves stocking fish, firewood, growing gardens and just generally getting ready for the time in just a few short months when our friend winter will be back to the top of the world.  I miss you all and miss getting to visit with each of you.  LadyBlue, Lolly, Old Rebel, Sessy, Sue, Blah, Blah, Jackadoo, Maysmom just so many of you, just please know, I miss you all.  I hope everyone there is having a fantastic start to their summer, and God Bless you all.  Best wishes

Hey Yukon, Good to here from you friend. Do you have 'black out' curtains in the house? I guess I don't have a problem sleeping in the day - because I surely don't sleep at night but a few hrs. at a time - I go through these routines every once in a while.

Hi John. Hope you have a quiet season for the fires. If not be safe.

Hello there... That looks like the parking lot I peek at you everyday in. LOL I keep up with the weather there. I'm enjoying watching my little eagle grow also. I can see how you love the outdoors and all up there. I get excited just watching an eagle from a camera. Take care and stay safe in that there wilderness up there...........We'll be still here doing the same when you slack up and can spend some time with us.....

Hi John, good to hear from you!

Nice to hear from you!

I just cant wait to hear ole DW say....Boogedy, Boogedy, Boogedy, lets go racin boys!!!!

Hey John, nice to hear from you. Make sure you take care. Been outside mowing..sneeze sneeze :o) Are you ready for Darlington?

Hey chilli, WB, headlong and lawpirate!! It is so nice to "see" you all...:-) About the fires, sometimes we have lots, in 2004, we burned over 7 million acres!! 2005, we burned almost 5 million. Some years, we hardly burn any, it is just a wag. There is much preparation for the season though. Training, getting supplies and equipment in place, getting aircraft back on contract, securing our leases where we do business, there are just weeks, even months of preparation to be made for a few month season!! Our smokejumpers are ready now though, and they will be our frontline for wildland firefighting here and throughout the western US. For the most part, we all LOVE our jobs, and love the travel throughout Alaska, and our travels throughout the country in assisting other places with fires and other disasters. We have our Type 1 team assembled and ready to respond to any national disaster such as hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, even things like 911. Nice to see all of you!!!

Glad to hear you alive and doing well. Must have something to do with being in the bush...

We have missed your post John. It really sounds beautiful there. Please remain being careful and enjoy your brief summer. Take care, and we look forward to meeting you too someday!
