Well for the past almost two weeks I've been staying at a place that would be nice if they had running water, showers, toilets that didn't require the buckets to be burned when filled, A/C basically anything more than what was there. It was exactly my worst fear...to be honest I like what I do but I hate being dirty and for this entire time I've pretty smelled like a dirty diapers with the occasional wet-nap wipedown.
Things I learned: After 11 straight days I can grow a nice beard but other than the pics on my cam no one will ever know cause I hate facial hair; whenever you think you have no where else a bug can bite you you're wrong; its always better to ask forgiveness than permission (that story will come out at home); and finally living on a diet of MREs (food that for some reason doesn't go bad for like two years) ruins your digestion system. The sheer pain of deciding while hunkered in your sleeping bag whether to stick your head out and be bitten or to give yourself the worst dutch-oven known to man was great. Think about that tonight when you lay on your down mattresses.
But as far as what we were there for it was good and it took a few more days than expected but it was done. In transit back 'home' now where I'll sleep all day and not leave my a/c room for awhile.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Uncle Lonnie I think you'll be impressed with my beard pics.
