Jasmine: Stuff...

i'm at work... it's been a while since i've been able to say that. it's not a real job. not really. i'm filling in for someone who's on vacation. but i get paid. and that is the important bit. money. the fruit of all life. sad but so incredibly true. anyways my job consists of sitting at a desk and answering the phone. occasionally i might have to take down a name and number if it's crowded and one of the two guys has to call someone back. but mostly it's just sitting. i've started writing some zombies. and of course this blog. i'm a little bored and i wish i could help out doug and meghan today cause i think they need it.

kay i didnt finish the blog the day i thought i might. i will finish it today damn it. i will! or tomorrow. whatever works.

the days count down. 2 more days of work. two more days until we go on our pecos trip. the days count down. it's real now. not just one of doug's half assed ideas like plopping us... somewhere... and having us hike out or "somewhere" else. of course that is what were doing next year. anyways. so close. terrifyingly close.

heres some random information. or not so random. take it as you will. oh and keep in mind that the pecos runs from class II to class IV. not that it's important or anything.

Class II: Medium.
Rapids of moderate difficulty with passages clear. Requires experience plus suitable outfit and boat.

Class III: Difficult.
Waves numerous, high, irregular; rocks; eddies; rapids with passages clear though narrow, requiring expertise in maneuvering; scouting usually needed. Requires good operator and boat.

Class IV: Very difficult.
Long rapids; waves high, irregular; dangerous rocks; boiling eddies; best passages difficult to scout; scouting mandatory first time; powerful and precise maneuvering required. Demands expert boatman and excellent boat and good quality equipment

ah the joys of wikipedia.

sorry if i just freaked out any parents. didnt mean to. and the hard part is just the first section. after that it doesnt go above class III. which while still hard is not nearly as dangerous...

but equipment wise were almost done. i need some wool socks i think and a carabeener. but after that i'm good. not sure about the others. mostly packed too. apart from the food which i think is happening today.

the four of us are bleeding money for this trip. but in the end it's worth it. every penny. or at least that's what i'm hoping cause the alternative is kind of depressing and i dont want to think about it. nope. no thinking about the depressing bits. they're... not on the table.

i think that's about it. wish us luck. cause we could use the extra. muahahahaha
