Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

AND I GET PAID TO DO IT

One of the guys that works for me dared me to blog about my morning yesterday. He said no one would ever believe that I got paid to do this stuff. So RI here 'tis.

I got called early yesterday morning by a man with some really high concerns. He wanted to know if I could meet him immediately and evaluate the situation. I thought about it a few seconds and told him sure I could come help with the evaluation. So I got into my truck and drove about 40 miles to the place he said he would meet me. As I neared the location I noticed a truck following me and thought "that has to be the guy". I pulled in to the area and he pulled up beside me.

We visited a minute and decided we would just take my truck in to do the evaluation and then return for his after we were finished. We drove the additional five miles into the area where we got to evaluate BEAVERS....get your mind out of the gutter....these were the four legged dam building little animals. We walked a long length of the stream and determined that they were fine and weren't really causing any unusual damage so I told him we would not be relocating them. He agreed so we left.

SO NOW YOU KNOW I GET PAID TO EVALUATE BEAVERS...... AND RI - I TOLD YOU I WOULD BLOG IT.......
