We're just getting over our heat wave of being in the 90's [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION]! Only supposed to be in the high 80's today, with rain and cooler temps coming for the weekend thankfully.
Sounds like the new position will be a better fit for you [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], hopefully you'll like it much better!
I'd also like to take you up on your offer [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], but I'm afraid this old abused body of mine wouldn't be able to take it lol.
Speaking of adventures, I turned down another one just this past week as much as I'd loved to have went. I was over putting up 2 yard lights on poles in a cattle yard for a neighbor, they are big cattle and horse ranchers. Him and his son are looking for 10 experienced horse riders to do a wild horse round-up in the far north of British Columbia. These horses aren't true feral horses, a lot of them used to be trail riding horses, but the owner retired and shut down his trail riding and guided hunting business about 10 years ago and left the horses to roam on 20,000 acres of forest. The herd has grown to somewhere around 200 horses and he's basically giving them away to anyone who wants to round them up and ship them out! It would be around 10 days of living in a hunting lodge and rounding up horses each day, then loading them on barges to move down the river to Fort Nelson, then loaded in trailers to be trucked back to their ranch. All the riders have to supply is their clothes and a gun lol. As much as I'd love to do it, I know my butt wouldn't take 10 hours a day in a saddle for 10 days lol.
