The Emissions Guy
Atlanta to Rochester - I'm the lucky one here - the guy 2 rows back and on the other side is next to a "chatty kathy" - she was loud and non-stop! After a bit my seatmate - Garrett - looks and me and we both roll our eyes. Isn't it facinating what can spark conversation??? Garrett's on his way home after being gone for the week on business. As you may guess from the title here - he works with emissions - you know all the exhausts and wasts from manufacturing (and other stuff). He said that he does from time to time have to climb to the top of those tall stacks to check out the equipment - but most of his work is on the ground - being sure all the monitoring pieces are working correctly. While the job on the road can be long days and he's away from his family - he's happy to have a job - having lost his previous job during the "recession" - good attitude! :-) And in his spare time? He turkey hunts. I never had heard much about this sport - but it fits Garrett well. I learned all about the fun toys that you use to lure the turkeys to your area - small box-like drums and other whistles. He even had some great videos on his phone - wow are those turkeys BIG! He's looking forward to his next trip where one of his clients is going to take him out hunting. Good Luck Garrett!
