[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.

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 callsView attachment 129760

Do you sell any of those calls?
