    Default Picture this...

    The grounds keeper with his hands on his hips mouthing obscenties, once discovering he missed me drive out across the well manicured city park ball fields for the weekend games....

    It was another fine classic USIC1 move...

    So from a good seventy five yards away, I sat there humored at the gesturing and rebutting his gestures with my own(hands up in the air doing an I dont know???)...


    HA!!!! I hink about it now and I really need to start taking a few pictures of some of these classics...


    Anyway I had a ticket to mark 30' radiouses around a couple pole stakes for lighting... Ticket didnt say where, just near the road and back fence so I figured I d get ride out there in the middle of the fields and break out the binoculars and have a gander... Thats when I spotted the groundskeeper or facility maintenance guy... He had been stocking in the concession stand back at home plate...

    They turned out being in the parking lot and not out in the ball fields...

    Oh well... The life and times...

    When you ever get an attitude from the public for being locators, your welcome

    It took a little, but I eased him down a few notches over the incident...

    Read him the ticket and said I was nt going to walk the whole park to try an find some stakes and didnt have anything to go by...


    But it was the thrill of the episode... Its like having a good stiff drink when you dont drink anymore...


    AAAHHHH!!!!!


    Then I get on the vine as a chaser...

    Then, I almost forgot, but earlier in the week I was retaliated against by a

    trackhoe operator laying sewer pipe...

    I was talking to a couple of the sewer crew guys about how slow they were laying the pipe joking with them, and when I wasnt looking the operator dumped a load of dirt on my flat top, on the back of my truck...

    So it is a give an take environment when your dishing it out...
