I have been at training for two weeks and graduated yesterday. While I am technically still certified as LE, I am not an active officer. I do work as a 911 dispatcher now, and received my certification.
I also received an award.
I'm proud of myself.

We got some mini bricks for Christmas and I've been exhausted from a wild schedule and environment change for training. Instead of Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram, I put together the rainbow trout. He cute. #rainbowtrout #trout

Incredible frozen web we stumbled on last weekend. Not sure if it's spider or a moth or webworm?

German Gulch a few days ago. We took a nice walk in light rain. Noticed many little fishes in the creeks. Saw some little critters and some deer. #montana #swmontana

Catch of the day. Idk what is going on. First money, now a drone? Also a roll of marker tape (in the creek?) that says "SPOT FIRE".
We're working on finding the owner.

A little creek action yesterday. Napped in our hammocks for a bit, watched some folks fish through while we rested. Didn't get as hot as they were thinking and we even got a nice rain shower. #flyfishing #montana #womenwhoflyfish #dogsky

Litigation if I need it. I don't get weekends and holidays off for my job but I do get double and triple pay, and holiday incentive. I get insurance at no cost to me. I get a comfy uniform stipend, and a 2x year payout for comp/holiday pay.
Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

It's a slow overnight.
I cleaned out both our fishing packs and the big bag. I sorted flies and added a few more to the thrashed box, to be added to the mason jar we collect them in. Soon I'll need a quart jar for all the junk flies we accumulate lol

Not much happening around here this last few weeks; I've been working a lot. Enjoy a big-ass hatchery #cutthroat trout and my little woodland creature.

Creekin today on a new blue line, westslopes like crazy on the cinnamon hopper. We had some strong, beautiful fish on the hook today and enjoyed the shady 72° respite from the 88° in town. #flyfishing #montana

Spectrum is here to install a new line into J's computer room, so he can be hardlined in for his flight sims.
So far:
They think the sim pit is pretty cool.
They're horrified about why there's nine dead end coax cables coming from our junction box.
They admire the rock cabinet.

We ventured to a high alpine lake and threw big, stupid terrestrials at the brookies.
The Little Woodland Creature had a great time. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky #flyfishing #montana

Bailey's Weird Lake Adventure: a #thread
We got up much later than intended and took a medium jaunt to a lake we kept hearing about. We arrived, and saw *at least* 15 kayakers and SUP fishermen.
Fair enough. To the second spot, after a swim.
