Today my boss of 11 years retires from the US Forest Service, having been a Firefighter for 33 years. He is a good guy, one of the best; frustrating at times to work with (and really who isn't?), but a man that honestly cares about his people...and you don't get that as often as you should in life.

So in 4 hours, we on the crew, and those he has touched through the years, are all tapping a keg at Como Lake here in the Bitterroot Valley (western Montana). The sun is shining, it stopped snowing yesterday, and a good buddy and myself are going to sit on the deck at Woods Cabin and have a smoke and a drink...and celebrate the good things in life.

Congratulations Charlie. You will be missed here, and no mistake...but you earned every damn minute of your retirement. Thanks for the memories.

Russell :D

    Spring snow, so it comes than goes quickly. Up near Glacier NP they got 4 ft. of the wet heavy stuff though in one day this week. We here missed that one thank goodness, only had generally wetter/cooler conditions than what should be the norm for us. Today it should hit low 60's...which is just glorious for this time of year :D
