Speaking of building stuff, teaching in rural north central PA has its perks. Every year kids usually build 20-30 turkey calls. They usually even kill some birds over them. It’s a shame their tech ed teacher doesn’t like building slate calls

 

[buffybr]

40 years as an engineer with the Forest Service. The first 8 years was part time while I was going to school or split with being a ski instructor in the winter. My skiing career finally ended when I finally realized that I couldn't support a family in a Colorado resort town on a ski instructor's wage and that I was wasting my college degree.

I then transferred to Montana and worked 32 years on two Forests and retired in 2007.
