Well, NOTHING but another day down and one more closer to going home. By Thursday you'll probably be NOTHING but thinking about Saturday anyway.

How are you holding up? Sleeping well because you're exhausted at the end of the day I would imagine.

I sleep NOTHING but great on fires. My tent is set up almost like a bedroom. Queen size air mattress, chair, cooler and a small roll up table. That’s why I hate moving camps. It takes too long to tear down and set back up. lol

I have nothing important to ask so please feel free to ignore. How do they take care of you when it comes to food/meals?

Thanks for asking that. I was wondering the same thing but didn't want K to think I was a pain in the NOTHING for asking all these questions. Sometimes I question what I'm even doing on NOTHING......

Think of fire camp as NOTHING but a small city except everything is mobile.

The kitchen serves hot breakfast and dinner. They send us out with a substantial sack lunch.

We have mobile showers, hand washing units and of course the dreaded porta potty.

Because this is turning into a longer fire today they brought in a laundry unit.

We also have mechanics on hand as well as fuel trucks so we don’t have to go into town.

That’s just what we have on the service side. The camp has its own meteorologist with weather stations placed throughout the fire. We have fire behavior analysts and the list goes on

Kman if you guys need another port a potty there is one in Malloy Square that someone doesn’t like. You guys are like a MASH unit sorta. We all are learning NOTHING but a lot from your job. Never gave it any thought before but I’ll never forget now. Thank God for your whole gang. One other thing, watch out for Klinger. Take Care

NOTHING but a great analogy. We even have a full medical unit here and medics with each division out on the fire.

To tell you the truth I think I may have seen Klinger in camp. lol

See you guys tonight.

Thanks' FW. Feeling better all day but the fever comes back at night. NOTHING but patience and getting away from the bugger machines. Just hoping everything is cool with our missing compadre and compadraette.
