Mood:  hungry

Yesterday we did a prescribed burned. This burn was very small (only 2 acres) but it still took a lot out of me. Since I am still having issues with my back I opted not to run lines with the drip torch. Instead I walked the fire line to make sure the fire didn’t jump. The fire behaved very well except for moving too slowly through some spots but I would rather have that then it rushing towards me and me trying frantically to maintain the line while being scorched by severe heat.

The burn only last a couple of hours and then our Forester was kind enough to buy us all fried chicken and biscuits for lunch. YUMMM! My eating habits this week haven’t really been going along with my diet. Monday I went to the BBQ Lodge and had a huge plate of Caroline BBQ and some fried chicken (they have the best chicken). But I was good and didn’t order any banana pudding. Then Tuesday night Maria and I went to the Melting Pot. We had salad, cheese fondue, filet mignon, lobster tail, and Smores fondue complete with brownie bites, cheesecake, and graham cracker and Oreo cookie encrusted marshmallows. I was so stuffed I honestly thought I was going to have to be rolled out of the restaurant. It has been ages since I have been to the Melting Pot but I had a fantastic time and it is always nice to hang out with Maria. Last night I was too lazy to cook so I through a couple of hot dogs on the grill. So today I have decided to have a light lunch and a moderate dinner then hit the gym for an hour. I am hoping by back will cooperate.

Tomorrow I will be out checking lifejackets and getting things ready for the weekend. It is suppose to be really nice here Saturday and Sunday so I am sure this place will be wide open. Because I will be super busy I probably won’t have time to post. So I hope everyone has a great weekend.
