Hey folks,It has been a long time since I wrote the last time. Well, here are some reasons why. Snow is gone and summer started right away. Kinda funny when you are used to a slow change in weather with a lot of rain in between the cold weather and the summer. Anyways, this had some major consequences for my time schedule. I finished teaching and classes in april and fell into fieldwork imideatly, prepared or not. Right now I'm working on my lakes (Camp, Crowley and Linton). I'm finally successful in fishing. Ok, ok, its kinda cheating since I use nets and not fishing rots. But it still works fine. This is the first step of my first field season. The next months will be pretty busy with work, so I will probably write the next time sometime in the fall.... just kidding. Right now I am doing population estimates of my lakes. Meaning catching fish, marking them and throwing them back in again hoping to catch'em again. And yes, they are stupid enough to get caught more than twice! After that, there will be some other things that I'll have to test later this summer.

Ok, whats new since the last time anyways? Well, the picture of the Lizzard on the right site is my new pet. His name is Gizmo and he is a Leopard Gecko. He's a very nice little bugger.
I got him from a guy at school who raised them as a project and sold them, so I got him cheap and he has a nice new home. :-)
Well, what else happened... We have been on a small roadtrip for a weekend a bit up north to see real size trees and more lakes...yes they are never ending here.
And then the amazing part of going over these Highways up north here. You just go through forest here, for miles and miles. Awesome. I'll attach some pictures later. I still haven't looked trough most of them, so I don't know what they are like. I'll go through them this wekend and post some here. The only disadvantage of summer is, that the bugs are out now and that meens you have to shield yourself agains them. Whoever has been in Scotland and had to deal with the migges (Geli ;-) ) there, should be warned. The bugs here are around all day and everywhere where there is some bit of water. So nearly everywhere. And if you let them, they'll eat you alive. So until it is either getting cold again or until there is enough wind, you have to deal with them.
ok, i gotta cook now, I am starving. Oh yes, I got a very small barbeque grill so I am bbq-ing prety often at the moment. Its pretty convenient and roasted mushrooms with Feta are so delicious!!!
Ok, C ya soon
