trystinn | Fun with fire and booze

Last night was the best bonfire yet - had about a dozen folks show up, though I try not to qualify such events by quantity. Right about dusk, Josh and Kevin headed out to go snag one of the many electrical pole segments littering the neighborhood. I'm sure that's the sort of thing the contractors had in mind when they left them on the side of the road. Even so, I'll be happier when it's finally in ashes.

Kevin and Josh had a wee bit too much of the dram, as they say. Josh is slow moving and nursing a sour tummy today. I'm trying not to lord it too much over him. I'm one of those Irish gals with a killer tolerance to alcohol, which makes it almost useless for me to drink. I also, btw, drank water in between vodka mixes which the boys didn't bother to do.

We got through a little more than half the burn pile, which I'm thrilled by. Would have done it again tonight but we were rained out this afternoon. Big Dave had some great news, there's a good chance he'll be promoted soon, in which case he can hire me back onto the base. This is a best scenario job for me, so I'm begging for all good thoughts and energies for his success (and mine!)

I really do wish we could have a bonfire every weekend. I'm filled with an almost ecstatic energy today.
