Get a call the other day arund 9:00 am from the wireless folks. 'We're on top of Bald Mountain and we need an azimuth to another communications tower on Shell Mountain 64 miles away for a microwave shot, can you get up here and help us out?'
When do you want to do this? I ask. Well .... could you be in Talkeetna ( a 2 hour drive from here) by lunch time? We'll have the chopper fly down and pick you up.

Yea, I can do that. Hang up the phone, %$#&! How am I going to do this?

Got her done. That's Denali in the background. 360 degree view of the biggest mountains in North America. I sure love my job.

Something just ain't right

about wearing snow shoes and a tee shirt at the same time. You sure do have some beautiful scenery though.

Thanks.

There is some sort of a song about a "Jealous bone". Maybe it is related!

This contrasts with most of my jobs involving staking a line between point A and point B in Big Yawn Subdivision. Every now n then they toss me a bone.
