An opportunity to go fall timber in central Idaho came up for me Sunday morning. It was rather weird actually.
I had dreamt all night that I was on a unit falling timber (rarely do I dream of working in the woods any more). I woke up, and shortly after, logged into Facebook.
I posted on a buddies unrelated comment (he's a timberbeast), and he posted back to call him right away. I did, and he told me there was a position open with the company, and I should giver hell.
I would be able to bunk at his place all week, and drive back home (4.5 hours) Friday after work.
It's a fair day wage, and the owner's a good bossman to work for I hear. I have a lot to consider before leaping in, but I can't sit around forever to make up my mind either, or the position will get filled I'm sure.
Word is though, the guys having a hell of a time finding a saw. One thing comes to mind, and that's ND. A lot of guys from here are working over in the oilfields, so I can only imagine it's the same in ID. The second reason is, a lot of the 60+ guys are rotating out, and there aren't any youngsters positioned to fill their boots.
If you're the praying type, I'd appreciate some prayers on this, and if you ain't the praying type. . . I'd appreciate some prayers on this. LOL
