Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is...

Morning summer!

September 25th, 2024.

My name is Ashley Burns with me sitting right over there. How much wood could that wood chuck, chuck.

Blaine Gibson.

Woo.

So Bernie is on a field trip today. So not only is he not here to run the things and make sure I do it properly.

He's not here to ask all the questions. So we're just going to do a podcast and we're going to hope that we nail it. I'm sure we will, right, Plain? Yeah, no, for sure. Hey, day two of Blaine Week. We're all excited to be here. It's the Morning Somewhere community's favorite week of the year. Also known as bleak. Bleak week.

Bleak.

Yeah, no, it's funny that you mentioned the wood chuck chuck thing because that was one of the requests that I had when I was coming out here. It's like, I just want to chop wood. Right. It's like, all the things that you can do and Scott, what do you want to do when you visit us? I'd like to chop some wood. Yeah, I can tell that you and Bernie are both great parents because you guys were like, of course, Blaine, you can drop all the way.

And you had a little wood station set for me. I'd like to chop some wood. Yeah. I can tell that you and Bernie are both great parents because you guys were like, of course,

Blaine, you can chop all the way.

And you had a little wood station set up for me.

And it started raining, but it was okay because you still let me chop wood. We'll just move the wood chopping inside the wood shed. And like, I was chopping wood. And then Bernie was like, you're doing great. oh, that's a good wood, you chopped.

It was just like,

wow, look at you go.

Yeah, I was like,

cosplaying a lumberjack.

Like, I... Oh, wow, look at you go. Yeah, I was like, cosplaying a lumberjack. Like, I had the, the, yeah, plaid shirt on and everything. Did you roll up the sleeves? Oh, absolutely. Well, I started to layer back and then eventually, like, I was just down to a tank top. And I was like, oh, so nothing like work in the lumber yards, you know.

Was it everything you hoped it would be? Yeah, no, and more, except for I found this one log that was like impossible and it's still out there and I think JD's going to do it in like one shop, like no problem. Sure, just in half, there you go. But you started it for him, I'm sure. Yeah, no. It was fun, though. I mean, like, there's just a, there's a lot of fun stuff to do out here.
