You really should watch this. It was a piece of work to put together, I can promise. But I’m fairly cheered with the result, and with the tech help from Powtoon who for some reason answer questions IMMEDIATELY and at night even if I’m using the free version. Thank you.

That’s right. You could get PAID for doing what I do every day for free. Who knew? The job is is in Park Co Colorado between Fairway and Alma and the center is at a cool 10,200 feet elevation. Altitude sickness might be a issue. When I was in Cuzco, Peru (11,200) a million years ago I was sick as a dog for a while. But hey, its for beavers. You can do it for beavers, right?
Of course the added bonus is that Sherri Tippie is 90 minutes away! Wouldn’t it be fun to do donuts and coffee every saturday?
This morning I’m off to meet with the Junior High principal to talk about his new neighbors. Flashbacks to 7th grade might be an issue. But hey, its for beavers. I can do it for beavers. right?
