I can't overstate how much I love my job. Driving around the mountain picking up equipment and dropping people off, bouncing around all morning. Always something different when I come in to work, never really know what you're gonna be doing each week until you get started, seasons fly by when you stay busy though, so it's a good thing we're having fun. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t8y3A91J6I
Treat them like pets, and they will treat you like a pet. When I opened the door I got pulled outside by both hands. Two wild raccoons pulling each of my hands with teeth and claws, yet not one scratch or mark. They're surprisingly gentle if they like you. I always let them nibbles on my fingers and toes, their grandma did and so did their mom. Only their gram ever broke the skin and that was because we were rough housing lol I absolutely love these little critters. I completely trust them.

Go dig a hole in the howling wind they said, it'll be warm if I'm working right they said. Well, I dug a hole, and I'm pretty warm now that I've got it big enough to get out of the wind. This must be what my boss meant. I'll take his advice about working warm and stay put here for awhile now that I've got it all figured out. lol
Alone, on a mountain in the howling winds at midnight. Saw a couple of snowboarders sneaking in a moonlight run, more power to them. Nice to see some fellow rule breakers out here in my solitude.

These froggos seem to be fighting over space in a very small mountain top pond, very high up overlooking the world in Maine. Pretty nice spot they got here.

Me and the boys taking a few to dry off and warm up by the fire. The ski trail still about 11 feet of snow on the shaded side where we made snow this winter, but the woods are free and clear aside from the few flakes you see amidst the raindrops here. Still pretty chilly up here when it's wet, riding the Gator up the trail without a windscreen is always chilly too.
