Wap...wap...wap...wap...

Well guys, I got an offer that was too good yesterday so I am out of here for awhile. Someone found out about my trucking background and called me and asked if I would like to make $400 a day sitting on a 8000 gal Freightliner water tender for the next month or so...seven days a week. So I am going back to my first love (after teaching forestry at Sierra College) and will be doing a little trucking again. I will be in the La Grande, OR (Eagle Cap Wilderness) area, so if anyone wants to get together for a...for a....for a soda (yeah, that's the ticket) - please PM me. I will be working the fires in that region (western Idaho to the Cascades) and the installation of 30 or so windmills using helicopters and won't get access to the internet very often - but I will answer you when I get online. Taking the computer and loaded the camper on the truck yesterday...

and will be heading north tomorrow morning. See you in a month or so and I will miss this group of great people! I'll try to keep the greasy side down and the shiny side up!

Thanks for your service Neal, I know, its not Military service, but it is a service that is desperatley needed out there in the DRY fire prone west.

Plus $400 a day is pretty good mod money. Hey, guys, lets help him spend it.
