My son is working up at the Boy Scouts High Adventure Base; Northern Tier, in Ely, MN and Atakokan Canada. He's guided at least 3 trips so far this summer and will be up there another month. I found this photo of him on NT's FB page...

looks like he's working hard![attach=1]

Lucky kid.

I worked in a cotton mill for two summers.  Good pay, nasty work.

Hell fire Ben Ben.  I primed tobacco for years in the summer.  Lousy pay and I swear my Uncle worked the tar out of me just because I was kin.  I also picked cucumbers and toted irrigation pipes (easy compared to priming tobacco).  Now I am a fat f@ck that gets tired and wore out painting the trim on some windows.  Thought I was going to fall out yesterday.

I had a summer job back in the day.
And a fall job, and a winter job, and a spring job.

The worst job I can think of was the late spring / early summer square bales.
My friend Carl and I used to beg his dad to buy a round baler.  No dice.
He just liked to sit in the truck, chewing tobacco, easing the trailer up the field, and laughing at us, as we sweated like whores in church, and itched ourselves like flea infested dogs.
All in all, it was decent money, and considering the amount of bourbon we had stole from him over the years, i'd say we owed it to him.
