May 29th 2011. By the time I went to sleep at 4:00am I was already not tired anymore. I slept for about 4 hours and woke up at 8. I didn’t do much, just watched True Grit on my phone and waited for Lee. He showed up at about noon and we made some "Cowboy Coffee". We have a metal jug we filled with water, threw 7 scoops of dark roast on top and started to boil it. I've never drank this before, and was kind of sketched out. Once it boiled for a few we splashed a little cold water on the top to make the grounds fall to the bottom. After that we drank up and chatted for a few. Nastiest coffee ever. I told him I wanted some creamer, he said "Is that stuff even legal?" lol I laughed. He's got a dry sense of humor so I had to learn quick not to go day dreaming like I do and pay attention. We ate good the first day, and he showed me around the farm. He has 960 Acres, 22 horse, 1 cow, and a dog named Mud. He went to the store after showing me around and picked up some steaks for dinner and some coffee creamer for me.

Day 1
Well I didn’t plan on doing any kind of a blog while out in Alaska, but it gets really boring here from about 5-10pm when I have nothing to do. There's no radio or TV and I only have 4 movies on my cell phone to watch, which I don’t want to play out so I'm going to space those out. So in between my movies/vacations I'm going to write about what I'm doing out here. I may end up typing a lot because I'm bored lol.
I'm starting this blog on the 31st of May but I arrived here in Alaska at exactly 1:35am the 29th. I talked to Lee last on the day I left (The 28th), and he said "I'll be at the bottom of the stairs when you get here". So I assumed the Fairbanks airport was small and that he meant by the baggage claim. When I arrived I went down the only flight of stairs and stood there waiting for my bags with the other 30 people or so that were on the plane. They all looked either inbred or cracked out. People in Fairbanks are scummy, driving through it was almost as bad as driving through south Little Rock AR. Anyway, I went right for my bag, I've only seen a couple pictures of Lee so I didn't really know who to look for. But I saw him and he was dressed as if he rode in on a horse. We shook hands, said hi, hopped in the truck and went straight for some coffee. We drank the coffee and headed 100 miles southeast to Delta Junction where Lee's ranch is. On the way Lee seemed kind of on edge and nervous, I ignored it and thought he just probably doesn't meet many people from the city. When we arrived he showed me the bunk house I'd be staying in and showed me around briefly. He said he'd see me at noon the next day.
