I may go fall timber in Idaho?

Spoke with the bossman's wife tonight. . . He's gone until tomorrow. Still don't know if I get a shot, but it sounded promising.

We'll see!

The perfect climate is the Oregon Coast. During the short summer, you work up in the Coast Range and get hot.
Then you come home to the natural air conditioning called fog. It makes for poor tomato growing conditions. I think I grew one tomato successfully. Had to finish ripening it indoors.....

I worked on a farm right near Fort Bragg, just above the fog belt. On a summer day when you'd get to go to town, what a break! You'd go from 90 and full sun to cool foggy and 60.

Best of luck Nate. It ain't the easiest way to make a living, but you can be damn proud of it. Not many falling jobs left. You know you're alright if you get to wake up every day and trip trees. Hope it works out, you deserve it.

Well thanks Sam! I ain't gonna say it'll work out, and I ain't gonna say it won't.

I'm excited to giver hell though, and see what happens. :msp_thumbup:

I already made the bossman's wife laugh pretty good though.

As she's explaining the hiring process: ". . .and we drug test".

Me: "Ohhh. . . " *concerned voice followed by awkward pause*

Me: "Well. . . You don't test for caffeine do ya?"

Boss lady: "Hahahahahaha. . . No, around here, we call that a requirement."

Laughter is always a good icebreaker.

Keep buggin him, hell, it's rare anymore to come across a guy that can pass a drug test. I had to take a piss test for my job.....boss says, "you gonna pass this?".....of course......."You drink beer?"....of course...."GOOD!", he says. We had a good laugh over that one - Sam

His wife said he'd be calling me back tomorrow or this weekend. I had talked with him last year to get permission to be in Jason's hip pocket for a day, and hang out on the job. He gave me permission, though circumstances later meant I never made it down.

He's a straight shooter, and he'll be calling me back. No need to bug him.

Hey Metals. Been gone for a week. First in Omak, Wa, then up the Clearwater in ID. Old high school buddy is scaling at a yard in Kooskia. Things are rolling in that area. I lost count of all the log trucks on Hwy 12. Good luck with your venture.
