Just livin' the dream here. It's a pretty good quality of life on the island. Spring has sprung and everything is coming to life again. Lots more scrapping opportunities these days so it's time to shift the machine into high gear and get er' done. Sixty to sixty five hour work weeks are about the norm this time of year. You work hard in the spring,summer, and fall to put up enough to carry you through the following winter. You live by the seasons.
It's a lot like the way my grandfather's generation lived back in the late 1800's - early 1900's. You do it a little differently in this modern world but the basic idea is still the same. Reminds me of the fable they taught us back in grade school about the grasshopper and the ant.
