Cordless Drill found on the road...........

One of the BMR crew picked up a cordess drill ( no battery) on the road. If it is yours, e-mail me with the make, and I'll connect you to the fellow who picked it up. 

Nice surprise, made my day!

It did not surprise me that MMT would come, but I am particularly pleased that the young maintenance team would call on him for some training on a maintenance procedure that they had not done before. Nice sunny day to be at the base of the Eagle.

Photographer Ron Hiller lives at Sidley Mountain - he sent his drone up 400ft above his house this morning to see if this was another one of those days where Baldy is above the clouds. Thanks Ron.

Ron and I have known each other since Grade 1. Both classmates of our Firesmart Assessor Doug MacLeod.
