Please let it not hit 40.
















Ended up working for 3.5 days this week, so it went by a little faster. Was bent over pruning the bottom parts of the apple trees so they could spray for weeds under. It was not the most exciting thing, thank God for my iPod. :) I am heading north to Coonabarabran tomorrow morning, to another orchard co-owned by a couple of the Orange guys. It sounds like we will have a house to stay in during this time as well. Looking forward to that. Should be out of cell range, out of civilization, and into a 7 day work regime that will hopefully prove to be lucrative. Won't have another update for a bit. Working a lot might be a challenge, but I shall not be phased. ( I am 1/4 Jerry Summers). Heres a few photos, we had hail the size of marbles one day for about 5 minutes, and a couple hot days. Oh. We also went and checked Very interesting. See you in a few weeks. We also went and checked out those limestone caves. Pretty cool stuff. Seeing parrots and all sorts of cool stuff. Still not showing many of the pictures due to my limited internet access. Hope you all are doing well.
P.S. Grandpa, heard about your spill into the stream. You are very durable to be able to withstand a blow to the head at 80. You never cease to impress. You are the man.

Update

Been living out of my tent next to Dutchee's ancient camper. Tent is awesome, and the nights are much colder here in Orange, so its easier to sleep. The apples are all ripening up for a few more weeks, and hopefully going to be giant so I can make some dinero. In a few days me and Dutch will be heading north to Coonabarabran, a few hours drive. There we will pick as much as possible, probably seven days a week for three weeks hopefully. If that goes to plan I will rake in a good 2500 or so, and be on my way to being a lazy man for a while. Then it's back to Orange to pick even more apples. Granny smiths, red delicious, pink ladies, fujis, oregon delicious, you name it. I am going to be the apple pro. Looking into working at a resort in the middle of the continent as well, supposedly a good deal. I will update some pics later this week ideally. Hope everyone is doing well. I am melting in the 90 degree temps.

Extra Pics





Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?

Ok. Heading inland a ways to meet up with Dutchee. Sounds like I will be picking some peaches for a week or two, then heading elsewhere to find some apples. Looking like it is going to be another interesting chapter in the trip. Might not update the blog for a bit, but you can assume there will be a nice big one whenever I return to civilization. I FINALLY GOT THE VIDEO UP!
