RECON!
This is got to be my favorite task.
I just love walking around in the woods, looking for control, horizontal and vertical.
And also looking for artifacts that will be destroyed soon. That is how I found my boat! Abandoned in an old duck pond.
This particular area has a lot of turpentine pots, and a few arrow heads. We did a site next door to this one that has been in the news lately. It seems that a pool digger found 3 skulls, right where we had been working for a year. They tested them and recently discovered that they were from 1200 A.D.! and they were Incas. Go figure!
Who knows what I will find today.
None of the above, taking the day off and taking my wife, daughter, and nephew to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
Calculating drainage areas for these engineers and wishing we had some field work so I could get out of this office.

Oooo oooo, (waving hand furiously) ... can I go too? 😀
Sounds like fun.
I on the other hand will be running some errands and putting together about a 150 page report for the Office of the Attorney General in New Jersey. I won the lottery there and they insist I give them a full report on the CE classes LSW has done over the past 4 years.
I concur that they need to audit folks now and then to insure compliance. The only problem I have is I know that no one will read the entire report. Likely what will happen is they will scan it and say it looks about right, then throw the entire thing in the trash.

It's just like getting maple syrup.
Except they (used to) use slash pine. The sap is captured by scarring the tree and hanging the pot so that it catches the pine resin.
That would be boiled down and distilled into turpentine.
You can still find the old pots and if you're real lucky, you sometimes see evidence of the old stills.
