Pinkeye

orientation week is almost over the campers arrive tomorrow afternoon. During one of our meetings today the camp owners/directors announced that next month theres going to be some film producers at camp for a couple days filming us for part of some movie, sounds pretty cool i'll let you know more about that when i learn more. Also i spent part of my afternoon spreading mulch, which i love doing, and now in about 10 minutes i'm being rewarded with a pizza so thats awsome. also to look forward to is the Outdoor Adventure staff (OA) versus the waterfront staff (lifeguards) in a game of dodgeball. I'll let you know how that goes. oh and theres a little stream that flows through camp, today it was raging (obviously some rain up north or a dam release) so i've started trying to estimate the head and velocity of the water to figure out how much power potential is in this place. i bet its A LOT.

Death

last night the camp bussed the whole camp staff to the local bar where we spent te night. i think mike can relate when i say having a boss who buys you drinks is amazing. altough mike its evenmore fun when your coworkers are all college age too. moved into new bunk also yesterday and today the campers luggage showed up. these kids bring a digusting amount of shit to camp. on a more annoying note the staff computer lounge only has 3 coputers and one has a broken keyoard. i'm currenly using that one. typing with the on-screen keyoard is really really gay. i hope that expains my lack of details and short sentences.

An Elephant makes love to a pig

ok so i've been super busy lately doing lots of super fun stuff but today it poured and a couple meetings got canceled so i decided to wait in line for the computers. Still too lazy to post any pictures (at least i admit that, aka not in denial like casey). Ordered some climbing shoes yesterday which was a pain in the ass cuz a lotta companies won't ship to PO Boxes which is gay but i got around it. Anyway food around here isn't too amazing so i'm not gonna post the meals like mike but i will mention that the brits have starting wearing on me cuz i started drinking A LOT of tea and speaking in British dialect.
thats all for now folks

Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride

Started training today, pretty much just team building games, knot tying, and some rapelling. Piece of cake. Made friends with all the outdoor adventure folks, theres 18 of us. Some Brits and some Australians came in last night they all have heavy accents it's pretty intense. I guess Casey would know what thats like, cept he doesn't read this blog so it doesn't matter. Thats about it, i was gonna take pics today but it rained then got dark so i bailed.
Hebrew Lesson #1
zababa = cool
(no i'm not gonna figure out the correct spelling in the Hebrew alphabet don't ask)

Volcano

OK I've arrived, it was a pretty uneventful ride here but i did pass some cows and a BMW going the speed limit down a huge hill. Anyway upon arrival i realized that there was absolutely no structure to my check in and in fact there wasn't even a check in. After walking around for a while and talking to random people i was directed to a bulletin board with bunk assignment for the week on it. So i found that, found my bunk, and dropped my bags off. I ran into a whole bunch of really friendly guys in my bunk whom were all part of a group of like 30 Israelis. The guy and chicks are all really cool, they just finished serving in the military and decided to come here for the summer. They only arrived a day before me but were able to show me around and we played a pretty long intense game of volleyball. I also learned a few Hebrew swears as they constantly speak it. Didn't unpack the camera yet and I'm not looking forward to putting pics up because this computer is hella slow.
Anyways i start training bright and early tomorrow and all the rest of the international staff should be arriving. As for right now I'm a minority.

Weight Gain 4000

Well today is going pretty well so far. Slept till 11 then went down to the ol park on the moped to play some baseball with the regulars. The score was 29 - 16 my team being the 16 but it's important to note that we didn't really have a pitcher and in the top of the 9th they even put me in to pitch, needless to say i didn't do well but was pretty much on par with the the other pitchers before me. I did NOT strike out once during the game and made an amazing catch from deep right field to get the 1st out in the 7th inning. After that i went home and drank about half a gallon of water because i was super thirsty from not bringing a drink. Later on i'm going out to eat with my mom probably going to Oasis on Pine St because they have HUGE portions of pasta and it's pretty well priced. Besides that i gotta start packing for camp, clean/oil the truck once it stops raining and probably work on the moped a little more. As you can see from the picture theres a little bit of Mickey Mousing going on with the front end. I also included a nice close up of the newest concern with the truck, anyone who can figure out what the name of the broken part is gets a quarter.
Don't expect an update tomorrow, too lazy, lots of driving though!
Oh and mike i figured it out, my truck has about 67 times the mileage that your car has. So keep that in mind when you drive it. Every mile puts you that much closer to looking like the picture above.

Cartman gets an Anal Probe

Afternoon folks, after Mike started his blog yesterday and the Rogans have both left the state it seems like an appropriate time for me to kick off mine . Besides if i wait till i go to camp to create this i would get frustrated and bail. Nothing interesting to tell about today since i only woke up 2 hours ago and have been working on my truck since then. Yesterday i was in NH where i cut down about 10 trees, clear-cut too non of that selective bs, after that i made a fire in a barrel and dropped my moped exhaust pipe in to decarbon it. For anyone that doesn't understand what the means (ben) you can look it up. Upon returning home i painted it and installed it and now it works like a charm. Unfortunately the headlight does not as there is a bad ground which took a super long time to find even with a multimeter. Oh another fun story i ate nothing but celery for lunch cuz it's super healthy (like our smoothies) but now i dont feel well so i'll probably go snack on some pepperjack cheese after this. I also got a piece of plexiglass to make the hood for my paludarium in the fall which i'm super excited about. Heres a picture of what my paludarium should look similar to.
