My job...

When people ask me what I do for a living, I normally explain a little about geological & hydrological sampling, corrosion control systems, different types of mold and mold remediation techniques, and then say that's a fancy way of saying I get PAID to play in the dirt! Well, I've gathered some pictures of me "on the job" to show just a couple of aspects of what it actually is that I do...









This was a 4,000 gallon Underground Storage Tank that had to have an Internal Inspection, since it's Cathodic Protection system had failed. The entrance hole an 18 inch square and NO ONE thought I could fit through it! That just made me prove them WRONG! It WAS a tight squeeze, though!

Happy Halloween!

As Halloween approaches, I remember those years past when we would bring Tyler & Katie to this neighborhood called Planter's Walk for Trick-or-Treating. We would go to Robbie & Cheryl Marlowe's house, pay one of their older children to walk around with the kids, and then we'd have "Adult-time & beverages" and hand out candy! Well, we now live in Planter's Walk, and have a Rookie Trick-or-Treater. I imagine that we'll STILL find a way to have "Adult-time & Beverages"......knowing us! Happy Halloween and of course, Love & COLD-BEER!

Gotta LOVE the world-clocks

I added those clocks to remind me of the places I long to be. Being "Born & Bred" in Eastern North Carolina, that one should be obvious...

Arizona was added in tribute to the T-3 (Phoenix Contingent)! I find myself thinking DAILY about the time Emily and I have spent out west with Nick & No-relle (adopted Williamsons) who are part of my family!

St. Lucia...what more needs to be said! I LONG to return to that Island where Emily and I Honeymooned...and that I MOONED! (ok, so it was just the Sandals Resort that I mooned)
I hope we can return often, and accompanied by friends.

Love & COLD-BEER!!! Read. (my new "sign-off" saying!)

And away we go....

Well, I'm just giving this whole "blogging" thing a try...gotta keep up with the times, you know! So please bare with me as I learn what the H#LL I'm doing! My dear friends, Nick & Noelle Trinder, have one of these, so I decided to follow suit.

The first thing I must say is that I have to be one of the MOST BLESSED men on the face of the Earth...Emily, Tyler, Katie, and Mitch, I love you all with so much passion & I am so happy with the family we are making together, day-in & day-out! You guys make life FUN and worth living!

To ALL of my friends, new and old, I thank God for you all, and look forward to adding more wonderfull memories to those we already have!

Love and COLD-BEER to all! Read.
