    Great pics, babe. I love the falcon, owl and dolphins especially...it's crazy how much beautiful wildlife you guys share space with out there.

    He works 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off...usually takes a helicopter in and out but if the bird can't fly due to weather then it's a boat ride, instead. I'm sure he can tell you how much they all love that, those boat rides can get pretty hellish.


    And I'm sure he doesn't tell me everything (lol) but yeah, there's quite a few scary things out there- high winds, waterspouts, heavy machinery, etc- plus you are basically sitting on a giant bomb and your job is to not let it explode. It's a pretty dangerous job, but it does have it's perks, for sure!

      Pretty awesome Roy!!

      My cousin is out there somewhere too and I get pretty jealous cause he's always fishing and taking pictures of some mean catches.

        See if he can hook you up with a job Q. Looks like it's a better gig than a Toyota service center?

                    I'm not saying that, just that mechanics don't get to fish on the job

                        The falcon reminds me of the insurance commercial... "why did you buy my husband a falcon"?

                        LoL!!
