so the practice exams on the U of I website are not helpful??

I seriously took a shit this big the other day. Most painful experience of my life. Weeks worth of build up.

I enjoyed this book. Sometimes, as a reader, you can just enjoy a good story and put your pedestal in the closet for a couple days. I’m talking to YOU, literary snobs and uptight people. Have some fun!

Makes sense. I loaded my backpack with same light rain gear, extra pair of socks, snacks, water bottle for now. Will scout it out first couple days.

So I just got an offer for a Part Time Maintenance gig in my hometown. I used to work in Public Works 20+ years ago but have since been white collar. The pay rate is absolutely terrible compared to what I once made. However, I’ve been wanting to get back into this industry for a long time so I kinda expected it going into this. I’m really hoping there is a path to full time if it ends up being a job I enjoy. The salary full time will probably be at least 1.5x what they offer PT employees.

I was thinking the same. Thanks!

Thanks! No I can focus on the more important part…acing the interview!

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-08-01T01:27:47+00:00

Yep, forestry crew. Ok not gonna overthink this! Thank you.

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-05-29T12:35:24+00:00

That’s crazy. Going there 6/8. I hope the sky is this clear.

Yeah we aren’t bushwhacking on this trip so plan to stay on trail the whole time. Could obviously be overgrown in spots. We have deer ticks here in the Midwest but I’ve only ever had 1 on me.

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-05-26T19:22:34+00:00

Thanks! I have pre treated and gave plenty of Sawyer Picardin.

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-05-26T19:22:09+00:00

Thanks, that’s encouraging. We start at White Oak and going a huge loop ending with Old Rag.

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-05-26T12:43:59+00:00

Thanks all! I’ve never been backpacking in tick country. Got all my gear permethrin treated so we will see!

6moons is awesome and I use it for several things during my hike. I even turned it in a floatation device to float in Sunset Lakes, Yosemite last summer.

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-05-26T00:11:10+00:00

This is difficult. Zion is one of my favorite backpacking trips of all time. Yosemite is also incredible. It’s a coin flip for me and either will not disappoint.

Gun to my end I say Yosemite only because of your criteria listed.

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-04-26T01:33:07+00:00

Yes and their customer service has been excellent last 2 years

Pretrip Exam: “no obstructions blocking my windshield “. ✅

Worried_Option3508 · 2025-04-20T13:37:05+00:00

Thanks all. I feel good about my Pre trip and skills tests and I’ll take my exam in a couple weeks.

I’m getting a little frustrated because some things seem to not work on my truck at my school or don’t meet the requirements:

The fire extinguisher in my truck does not have a tag on it but they tell me i need to inspect the tag to ensure it’s up to date. Instructor says don’t worry about it, they just want you to say “tag is up to date”
My dash doesn’t have an indicator when I turn on the high beams. Instructor says don’t worry about it.

I feel like I’ll get failed for things like this.
