Landscape contractor. Works well for me. When it slows down, the hunting picks up.

I'm a geologist. I work for IDEM; however, I just became a Section Chief and sit at a desk all day now. At least my new office has a window.
Here in a few minutes I'm going to go pick IDEM's air-boat and take it too my kids' school tomorrow for "Transportation Day". Does that count?

I would love to be a pro deer stalker.. Hunting or doing things that pertain to hunting all day and getting paid to do so would make my life a heck of a lot more enjoyable!! Where do I sign up!?

LOL The day they try to take our guns away will be the day an internal army will rise up against our government and anyone coming to get them.

If it is the same old boat they had in the 90s while I was there I am suprised it still functions. It was cool for show and tell stuff but rarely served a useful purpose in the field.

LOL - it was transferred to OLQ, and the ER guys did a bunch of work to it. Then come to find out the AC that transferred it land never recorded, so ownership reverted back to OWQ...repairs/maintenance and all.

Here she is. Duff - you may may have driven the Suburban. It's a 2002 with 225,000+ miles on it that was transferred from OWQ to OLQ a year or two ago. It's still in really good shape, considering.

They both look very familiar :-)
Does the surburban still have a musty odor of wet sampling gear and nasty waders? When I worked there it was one of those distinctive idors, not offensive, but I knew I was at work each morning :-)
