cp in bc,

I think it was more like they were making mumbly noises into the CLOUD 
in hopes that it wld sound like they had a clue what they were talking 
about. But then I met the guy and he was really nice. Lesson I suppose 
is, "Don't trust the cloud."

There was also a conversation that took place about how I explained that 
I had to bring along a very small truck w/ a 55 gallon drum of water to 
feed the core drill and that since I had to run about 1200' feet of hose 
from the drum to the core drill that by the time I got the water pumped 
into the hose from the drum that the drum would probably be mostly empty 
and it would be time for me to go re-fill the drum... before we could 
start to do the core... and that with a grinder and generator I would 
have all the information they needed from a core in 1/4 the time. 
Mention was made of water from the brown muddy river below -- we all 
looked down -- and there I was getting a headache thinking about what 
sort of water pumps and filters would be needed for that little trick.

All with a sincere smile.
