Did inspection with Chase. I was sweep guide on the first tour of 7 and lead guide on the second tour of 1. Did a lunch shift in the Adventure Zone, then swept a last tour of 8.
|
Did inspection with Toni, then was lead guide on one tour of 8—had to do one retrieval on Zip 7. Thunder rolled in after that and i got to go home by 1:30.
|
Drove to Ned's cabin in the Adirondacks. We went for a canoe trip to the swimming beach, had a good dinner, then went out for ice cream in between rainstorms.
|
Left Ned's cabin and headed towards Shunk. Picked up some Moss Motoring Challenge points along the way and had to pull over to wait out a heavy downpour at one point. The Mini was running hot, but after a longer-than-anticipated drive, i made it to the lake.

Did some pothole-filling on the grade.
|
Picked bluebarries and made jam.
|
|
Took a walk with Nina, Jason, Isaiah, and Java to Wheelerville and back.
|
Filled up with gas at the Shunk General Store, then drove to Emily's house in Honesdale. Toured the grounds with Zack until Emily came home and we had lunch, then i worked my way back home. Long day of driving but the Mini ran well all the way. I got stuck behind a road-striping truck for about five miles somewhere in New York.

Farm.
|
Did inspection with Adeline, then led a tour of 6. Did lunch shifts in the challenge course and Adventure Zone, then led a tour of 8. Hung around until 5:45 waiting for disc golf league, but nobody showed.
|
Did inspection with Shaun, then was the sweep guide for three tours, of 2, 7, and 9.
|
Rainy day. Drove in to work and waited for twenty minutes or so until everyone on the 8:30 tour cancelled, then went home. Went up to the farm late in the afternoon where i was going to pick up Callie for the weekend, but Kara and Ryan decided that they'd drop her off at my house on Saturday while i was at work.
|
Did two tours as sweep guide with Shaun, then he had to go work on the mountain coaster, so i led one tour with Adeline. Came home to see Callie's nose in my livingroom window. She stayed the night.
|
Callie climbed up on the bed sometime during the night. Led three tours of 7 each with Toni. On the last tour, one of the guests dropped her phone on Zip 4, so Toni drove me up on the 4-wheeler and i found it, since i'd seen where it had landed.
|
Worked in the challenge course all day. Pretty slow. I poked a hole in the bottom of a cup so that i could see the barely-eclipse as it was happening. It definitely got a bit dimmer outside, but it was almost not noticeable.
|
Another day in the challenge course. Crazy busy in the morning, then it slowed down in the afternoon.
|
Shaun and i did zipline inspection but there were no tours in the morning so i spent a while inspecting all of the harnesses, then worked in the challenge course for a while so people could take their lunches, then Shaun and i had a tour of 6 in the afternoon (i was sweep guide).

Farm.

Drove down to Magic Mountain and played Magic's new disc golf course (which i helped to design) today. Nice! Very lefty-friendly. I bogied hole 1 (bounced off the chains), then stepped up to hole 2... a nice medium-long throw, and... CHING! My third-ever ace.
|
Led a tour of 9 with Chris (Shaun called out), then led a tour of 2 and a tour of 6 with Toni. I was going to drive over to Weston to see if there were any classic of antique cars still around from a car show that day, but as i climbed over Terrible Mountain, the Mini started kicking and bucking, as if it was mis-firing on a cylinder or two. I stopped and cleaned the distributor cap, then nursed it home.
|
Was supposed to be paired with Toni, but Chase called out so i ended up leading a tour of 9 with Katie, then Katie led the next two tours, one of 3 (our friend Jamie and her parents) and one of 2. The last tour was a couple, and he proposed to her at the end of Zip 5. Pretty cool.
|
Worked in the challenge course. very slow. Jamie came by in the afternoon and i spent an hour or so sitting on the top of the tower talking with her.
|
Another slow day in the challenge course. We were just about to close up when we had three guests come out, but they went through the course fairly fast.
|
Showed up for inspection at about 10 of 8:00 and found that Shaun had already headed up. I hustled and caught up to him at the top of the course as he was zipping in on line 1. We did one tour of 4, then i worked in the challenge course, then we had another tour of 4 at 3 o'clock. We finished at about 10 of 5:00 so i hung around until 5:30 and shot a round of disc golf with Keith and Tommy. We were all tied at -1 at the end of the front 9 but i ended up with a -2 and took the top spot.
|
My one day off this week.
