Leavin... on a jet plane

Well yesterday I found out that today will be my last day here in Fort Stockton, TX. Amazing as it may sound, I think that I am going to miss being out here in West Texas! The forestry service is moving the airplane and I to Grandbury, TX which is about 45 minutes from where I grew up in Kennedale, TX... so maybe mom and dad can come and visit me! Hopefully the move to the east will help with the extreme heat... its been 104+ the last 4-5 days or so.

No need to fire up the stove...

If I would have been in the mood for a hearty breakfast I could have cooked it out at the airport on the concrete. The temperature here in Fort Stockton got up to well over 110 degrees outside! But as the residents of Ft Stockton proclaim... its a dry heat. I don't think that really matters in the grand scheme of things 110 is 110 no matter which way you slice it. The days here have been long and boring recently but Saturday is my last day, so I have less than a full week left out here... thank you jesus. Well I hope that the weather has been treating all of you back in civilzation better than it has out here.
