You gotta pay for your own breakfast?

I guess they could make it a Donetto buffet. That's more of a logger thing. Foresters would have coffee, lots of coffee, and food that could be eaten easily while driving.

... mostly just coffee, though

There's one Friday morning a bunch of us students are going to attend. The professional chapter my student chapter in tech school interacted with would do dinners and they paid for our meals. Pretty sweet. Most guys like doing that. Hopefully once I get to working full time I can return the favor and mentor someone like I have been mentored.

Breakfast with my forester is fresh donuts from the local store and treats for his two little dogs. Amazing what you can learn over coffee and donuts.

its amazing what ya learn just by asking them........I like my county foresters.....maybe i'm lucky to have some good people to work with. I think when some of the new laws came out, some were resistant and those guys[n gals] got blamed.

The old school guys and gals here are not happy with our forest practices and let as much slide as they can. Usually it's the discretionary stuff that is left up to them anyways. Not many left. The one guy at the DNR that I knew to be old school left and went to work for the county. He was a Forest Practices Forester in charge of enforcing the rules. Awesome guy got to have beers with him one evening after a presentation and a logger I knew happened to be in the same restaurant having dinner when we were done.
