You aren't sh%$ttin Duke. I lived here long enough to just accept it and be diligent and reliant to the ones I serve. I just have to look out for the bad ones while I look out for myself.
The old tried and true way for years was a handshake and payment upon completion. That changed over the last decade and now it can be a crap shoot if one doesn't filter out the wannabe's. Enough good folk left to make it all worth it. The Grey Lady is still the best one of the bunch. She pays you every day and night ! I pinch myself most days, especially the tough ones
. Tomorrow is another marvel...........
Life is, so love the one you got cause you might get runover or you might-get-shot...........
I hope some of you folks come over again and bring your gear. Not THE place to be but it is one of the most beautiful for sure.
Merry Christmas
