I have mentioned that in addition to my PE and LS licenses that I am also a licensed real estate salesperson, but on a very limited basis.?ÿ Today was a regional membership meeting of NAR.?ÿ Of the 35 people in the room there were five title insurance people, me, and 29 active brokers and salespeople.?ÿ I have handled personal surveys for two of the agents and one of the title company representatives.?ÿ I have handled surveys on behalf of those three plus about eight of the agents present numerous times.?ÿ Great networking opportunity.?ÿ The educational focus of the meeting was diversity, equity and related topics of exclusionary treatment of both clients and potential buyers/sellers.?ÿ I would love to get some of these real estate types to attend some of our more generalized surveying education programs.?ÿ It won't ever happen, but, it would be a distinct eye-opener to many.
You must have a very interesting wheel barrel that you walk around with Mr. Danger seeker.... ???? ???? ???? ?????ÿ
wheel barrel
Here we go.
My guess is; @jitterboogie is talking about the vehicle @holy-cow uses to haul around his huge nuts...
Yup.?ÿ That's it, alright.?ÿ Have to have custom made pants and trousers to accommodate the situation.
Mac Davis summed it up quite nicely.
"I guess it has something to do
With the way that I fill out my skin tight with jeans"
With all those hats you wear, I had always wondered if anyone else in that county is actually working.?ÿ ?????ÿ
Truth be told, I find the volunteer roles to be more satisfying than most other things I do.?ÿ This world would grind to a halt in short order if it weren't for volunteers.?ÿ Everyone from the little old lady with the special flower garden that makes sure the church altar is alive with color year around to the young lad collecting money to support UNICEF.?ÿ Many volunteer roles are practically hidden while others could not be more public.?ÿ Everyone has skills, gifts and resources that can be used for the benefit of others.
My 5:30 meeting this afternoon was to assist the negotiation process between our local Historical Society and a local church for the probable transfer of ownership of the original museum building for the establishment of a much needed daycare facility, which may directly benefit families with future students for the school district which I serve as a Board Member.
The volunteer gig rocks. I keep getting the Mr Drucker from Green Acres picture in my head.?ÿ ?????ÿ
Bet you didn't know he not only did his graduate studies at Stanford University but taught there, as well.

My hat rack reaches all the way around the room. ?????ÿ
Quite truthfully, I was working on another scheme today that would involve the industrious young fellow who is handling the negotiations on behalf of the church, not as a member of their church, but as the contractor who will do some modifications to the building if the sale goes through.?ÿ He is a housebuilder stymied at the moment by the absolutely ridiculous prices for the necessary components.?ÿ I've been working on a plan that might help him find more work than he can handle.?ÿ Maybe, maybe not, but worth running the idea up the old flag pole and see how quickly it gets shot down.
Edit:?ÿ I'm back.?ÿ Had to check out the two texts I just received from our Sheriff.?ÿ He bales hay in his spare time.?ÿ He was letting me know he had my project completed.
Adding a point of contact, if you need any miracles through the church.?ÿ ?????ÿ
You probably already know this person .. or one of their relatives.?ÿ ?????ÿ

The expression about wearing many hats comes from an era when many occupations did indeed have a more or less standard and distinctive hat.
That era is long gone and we only remember a few. Today you might identify military, airline pilot, or ship captain's hat but many would confuse them. Chef, in a few places. A few others are remembered but rarely seen in those occupations. A cowboy hat doesn't correlate well to cowboys.
I am NOT saying this applies to Mr Cow, but the above discussion makes me recall the old expression ??All hat, no cattle.? ???? I first heard that many years ago when my uncle would apply it to certain people.
@bill-c?ÿ
Went out dancing with my gal at a huge country music dance hall on the outskirts of Houston about 1986.?ÿ Every head in the place had some kind of cowboy hat resting on it.?ÿ I would bet my gal owned more cattle than at least 90 percent of those dancing.?ÿ Maybe closer to 99 percent.?ÿ Not one hundred percent, though.
The main bar operated in the center of the dance floor.?ÿ Made the place look a bit like a race track with seating on the outside rail.?ÿ I would guess there were somewhere between 200 and 400 present.
A dead give away in the parking lot was the large number of undented and shiny pickups with perfect interiors and no drop hitch with a ball or no Gooseneck ball hitch in the bed.?ÿ No spittoons on the dashboards, either.
GOD!?ÿ I own all my life's experiences and mistakes (tmi) attached to my name, but I would never have thought to include suspecting I had won a 'cattle-measuring' contest in a Houston honky-tonk, back in '86.
..A cowboy hat doesn't correlate well to cowboys.
Cowpunchers around here aren't necessarily identified by their hat.?ÿ Most I've seen wear dirt ball caps but this time of year there are a few wearing straw "cowboy" hats.?ÿ But the real difference between a cowhand and a wanna-be is at the other end...the boots.?ÿ
A real cowhand has the bullsh*t on the outside of his boots.
Excellent comment.
Look for the limp.?ÿ Most also have some kind of limp.?ÿ Too many serious cowboys will be missing a portion of a thumb from a roping incident.?ÿ Check the belt buckle, too.?ÿ If it appears to be misshapen you will know that at least one "fasternlightning" hoof hit that spot with full force.
It helps to overhear some of the table conversations, such as:
That bike rally was a hoot.

So, you're saying adding a liter of rhamnose and two liters of mannose will improve the chewability index.
