Working northern maryland these days.Frederick,germantown and even spending time north of baltimore.Fall weather has brought lots of rain so im looking forward to the streams running high enough to paddle.Lots of small jobs these days..hang a cabinet,build fence gates,hanging pictures,paint a dresser,etc.Making enough money to break even but as always need a steady job to save up enough money for the next adventure.

MET A RETIRED COUPLE IN FRONT OF LOWES IN BANNER ELK YESTERDAY AND SPENT TODAY DOING A FIVE HOUR REPAIR ON THEIR DECK. FIRST JOB AFTER GETTING INTO BOONE SO THE ICE IS BROKEN. LOOKS LIKE I HAVE WORK FOR THE WEEK BUILDING SIMPLE CABINETS WAY OUT IN THE STICKS NORTH OF BOONE.

BOONE N.C.

THE HIGH COUNTRY IS THE ONLY PLACE TO SPEND AUGUST IN THE SOUTH. LOTS OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS THIS WEEK TO HELP ME GET USE TO EAST COAST LIVING AGAIN. RIVERS ARE LOW BUT SWEET AUGUST RUNNING AND RIDING IN THE WARMISH RAIN HAVE BEEN GREAT. IM A COUPLE DAYS INTO FLYING MY SIGN AND WHILE ITS BEEN FUN MEETING SOME NEW PEOPLE AND HEARING REACTIONS TO MY NEW RIG NO ONE HAS PUT ME TO WORK YET. TIMES ARE STILL PRETTY TIGHT IN THE HILLS. TOWN IS A ZOO WITH STUDENTS JUST COMING BACK AND ALOT OF FLORIDA PLATES. PARKING IS THE WORST IVE EVER SEEN ANYWHERE AND MY STANDARD GORILLA MARKETING WONT FLY SO IVE BEEN HANGING OUT ON ROADSIDE TURNOUTS WITH MINIMUM SUCCESS. HOPE TO BE POSTING MY FIRST JOBSITE PHOTOS SOON.

OK, IM TRYING TO CATCH UP! "FLYING A SIGN" MEETS LAPTOP, BLOG, E-MAIL AND A CELL PHONE. AFTER LIVING IN PARK CITY, UT FOR 3 YEARS IM READY TO GET BACK OUT TRAVELING SO WHY NOT GET A LITTLE MORE CONNECTED. MY OLD BUS HAS DIED IN THE YARD SO IM WORKING UP A CAMPER ON THE BACK OF MY PICK UP. ALWAYS WANTED TO DO A LITTLE SEA KAYAKING IN S.E. CANADA! SAVING MONEY/FINDING WORK IN A RECESSION WILL BE A NEW TRICK BUT IT DOESNT SCARE ME NEARLY AS MUCH AS THE THOUGHT OF SOMEONE WATCHING ME LEARN TO TYPE ON MY NEW LAPTOP.
