Having a day off

Have a quick video today. We're having a strong start to summer up here. Mid 80's during the afternoon and lots of sun. I've seen several moose now and in the video i make a reference to one Sammie ran after. That guy was probably 1500 pounds!! Sammie and i are lucky he didn't have any interest in us. I'm having a lot of fun working and working, haha. Enjoying a little down time today, no big jobs on the agenda. Only down side to the start of the summer this year is fires have taken off really bad all over the state. It is very arid here in the interior and we haven't had much rain this spring. A lot of fires have been started by lightening strikes including one only several miles from our cabins. We may be getting the lightening but mother nature is forgetting about the rain to go with it. For a couple days we had fire crews flying helicopters and planes dumping water and fire retardant on the fire over the hill from us. The helicopter would hover over the Chatanika river, fill a water bucket then fly over my cabin up the hill and dump it on the fire. Noisy couple of days but looks like they put it out. Other than that it's going great out here in the bush, haven't been to town in almost a month and don't miss it.
