I make quite a few tomato cages from galvanized cattle panels for resale each year. I also help my brothers out as they are farming our family farms ( I am part owner on 2 quarters) and they farm alot of other ground. And recently started working part time for my local small hometown caring for their sewer system. And here at the first of the year I will be doing their water system also as I have a state water and wastewater license which they need.... will possibly be doing a couple more local small towns as I probably will be retiring here shortly from my main job. I'll be 69 in May.... it's probably time !


I think you should retire,..just my opinion,..no assort on my opinion!

I started out climbing crab apple trees picking the apples for my grandmother and some of her friends , then shoveled snow for them .

When I got into boy scouts we delivered hand bills to pay for our camping trips and to keep heat and electricity on in the boy scout barracks then sold Christmas trees,after school .

I helped my folks work on water wells and learned the finer points of a shovel in various ditches in all kinds of weather . where I learned that I enjoyed working on water wells and wind mills way more than plumbing or cleaning drain lines or pumping out septic tanks .

I bought my own device rig in 1991 and worked on water wells all over Southeastern Montana , pulling pipes pumps and wire as well as cylinders or working barrels under wind mills or pump jacks or fishing them out if the customer tried it themselves and it got away from them .

I started working as a stagehand in 1978 and can't remember all of the symphony's , opera's and concerts I've worked for or on then not to mention the 5 major motion pictures I've work on .

During this same time I worked line clearance for 2 seasons and tried logging during the winter months . then later cut and sold firewood .

I also was a skinner for the different fur shops and did a little trapping when I could until after graduation , A short stay in college that wasn't my cup of tea and as a back shop parts man for the Caterpillar dealership until highway construction funds were cut and was laid off .

Making a wide variety of predator snares and helping others to be proficient setting them and dealing with grandkids now while trying to avoid Dr's , surgeons , nurses nd hospitals is getting tougher all the time ha ha

As you may of noticed I prefer to keep busy , sorry if this isn't in order but it is what it is ha ha

Enjoy your day and Stay Safe out there even if you don't want to ha ha !


You're friend along the snare line .

Caught and sold Night Crawlers as a kid. Mowed lawns and worked at a gas station through high school. Got a bachelors degree in Wildlife Management then did a cougar study to get a masters degree in Wildlife Management. Worked for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in the summers during college (putting up hay to feed elk at Hardware Ranch, Mourning Dove nesting study, fawn mortality study and winter range habitat study). Two years as a Wildlife Biologist and 30 years as a Utah Conservation Officer. After I retired I worked 3 summers for the BLM as a security manager on forest fires. Since then I do whatever I want whenever I want. Currently, helping my wife with a bighorn sheep hunt (she finally drew a tag after applying for 25 years).


United we stand.
