NATIONALLY KNOWN

So it will come as a SHOCK to some of you but I am now NATIONALLY KNOW. Yes. A proud moment for my family when they were informed that my "work" would be included in National lectures and training by a Ph.D. from A&M.

The Ph.D. will be getting me a copy and signing it for me.
but let us start from the beginning.... (Pay attention GARY W.)

I love my septic guy, Doug... He is awesome. If you need one, give me a call, I will give you his name and number. ANYWAY.... A couple years ago we decided to replace our smaller, older tanks and he did the job. He scrapped up against a tree with his tractor and was all upset. He was talking about putting on a patch, etc. I just smiled and said "you should have never told me"...
A few months later he was out checking on the system and I said... "Doug! Do you hear that sound?" ~ "Listen....it sounds like OOOOOHHHHH MMMY BARK HURTS OOOOOHHHH."
So it has been a joke from then on... He is the Tree killer.

At my new house I told the same septic guy, Doug, that I only had 2 trees that I cared about, the other 1,000 insignificant. These 2 trees were apple trees that were planted by my children when we first bought the property. We tried to plant them in an out of the way place so to avoid injury. As a joke... I hung up signs around the septic tank area just to mess with the guys. Well - Someone hit one of the apple trees and snapped it in half. The jury is still out on the guilty party BUT I have been able to milk it for all its worth. I offered that they could have their annual meetings at my new house so they can point and talk about all the trees they have killed.

So one of the guys working on my property is a Ph.D. that teaches at A&M and was asked to help because we are installing an brand new type of septic (without sprinklers). He has taken pictures of the signs and is incorporating them into his lectures, training and presentations across the nation.
