So I'm in the midst of a three week hitch up here in God's Country. I did one in late February/early March so I could go to Hawaii without taking any vacation time, and now I'm doing another to get back on my schedule (even though I don't really HAVE to). I probably shouldn't have, in hindsight, because three weeks up here sucks big time. By the time the last 3 or 4 days came around last time I was up here, I was just in zombie mode. Adjusting back to life when I got home took about 3 days longer than usual, too. Typically, I get home on Wednesday, and it pretty much takes a day or two to feel normal again. After my last three weeker, it took a good 5 days before my head came back from the Crab Nebula.
The only thing positive I can think of about this is that when I go back to two week hitches, it's going to go by REALLY quick.
I can't believe there's folks up here that do hitches that are four, six, or even eight weeks long. I couldn't do it, man. Put me in a straight-jacket.

HA!!!!!! this totally took me back to Red Dog - my longest hitch there was just under 4 weeks and I was loopy after getting back to civilization ... took me 3 days to get comfortable driving in the city again! (and that was Seattle) my longest up north was over 8 weeks ... and I can't TELL how you irritated I was that I had to give up my acrylic nails on that hitch! UGH!! ;-)
