Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 After December the 18th, I will only have one and one half years, (or three semesters), to go. I got an inside connection at the school where I did my introduction to field experience so my student teaching gig is covered. They are building a brand-new high school in Sedalia, MO, and the teacher whose class I was in was made Instructor of the Year for that school year, and is now head of the history/Soc. Sciences Dept. He told me that he cannot guarantee me a job, but he would guarantee his recommendation. That would be nice as we would not have to move from here when I get out. Nothing is ever certain, but I sure hope this pans out. I hope to be able to make it out someday, but with the winter schedule the way it is for classes, doesn't look promising for me to get out as the PiP falls just before finals week, and just befeore winter break at school. We'll see what happens when I get to that point. Have fun ya'll, have a dram for me will ya! Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I had to turm my desk away from the window so I wouldn't be watching for freezer fodder all-o-th-time! :angry: You don't really think I'd be studying much at PiP do ya? When the Thatchers arrive, I have sent with them two wedge tents and a fly/awning. If some of you experienced hands find them struggling, please lend a hand (as if that needed to be said). One is a bell-backed wedge, it takes the black poles and pins go through the grommets at the ridge, no finials. The other is a double-door wedge which takes the treated poles and no pins through the top. I normally set up the Bell to windward, the fly in front of that close-up to the pole of the wedge, then the other wedge set close to the pole of the fly, knda like one long train of canvas. If space permits, this works well for large contingents, but this may not work for the site. Just a suggestion for helping them set-up. The fly is the one with all the long poles with long pins.
