First mill tour - done and done

I was just in Vic for the first time since April. I need a car . . . . aaargh.
Carly came down from Smithers, so I campaigned for a week to borrow one.
Smithers being 4 hrs north of Prince George, I figured that I won't be making it up to see her . . .
I only get weekends off till Aug 31. Then I move back to go to Uni. My summer would be pathetic, but actually I like my job, and I have been seeing more of my old friends than usual.

I gave my first mill tour yesterday. It went fine, which means that by the end of the summer they will go well, chachacha.
Today I got a request for a tour for 40 engineering students from the esquimalt forces base
I can only take half at a time, and am going to rope some young interesting engineers into speaking with/to the other ones as I lead them around the mill.
I bet you they are the most likely guys not to listen to anything I say on tour . . . especially about staying behind lines etc . . . and will trail behind for like 100 m and I will be tempted to make them all hold onto a rope like a playschool class. Guys in their 20s have no interest in listening to me chirp safety stuff at them.

And as my parting comment, I submit a joke.
'why do men love it when women dress up all in leather?'
'They smell like a new truck"

PS the harder you laugh, the harder it will be to convince me that you are not a redneck. Hell, my one friend just about fell off his tractor . . .
