And when you do it, make sure it's in the best interest of the university. Don't do it for a personal gain or for some other reason, the bottom line is, what what I'm doing, is it good for the university, for the image of the university? Is it going to hurt the university? If it's going to hurt the university, stand back. Think about it, you know. And even though I encourage people to take risk, you got to take risks. If you got the information, it's not going to be that risky, but something was always going to be happy. You're not always going to be right. And so you have to eat crow. Well, crow doesn't taste bad after the first time, you know, as long as it's warm. And so you know. But this is why know, why you're here, and it's a great place to work.

I do the fish pond. Yeah, we've changed that some over the years, but basically it's the same. People still throw turtles in there and they throw fish in there when they leave the dorms. And you know the fish population that in the spring, there's a blue heron that has been coming to that fish pond. I got to say at least the last It's either him or it's his son or daughter, but at least the last six to eight years, and it comes in the spring, and it stands in the middle of that fish pond. And I mean that it's utopia that has goldfish. And I mean his head's always bobbing down and he's swallowing fish, and it's always in the spring. And I you know, it's very early in the morning. And the one thing I always did, and I know it paid off many times, is I made a habit to early in the morning. I like to I'm an early person, and I'd always get to work, you know, early, hour, hour and a half early. And I did this throughout the time I was here, is I would get in my truck and I would take a ride, and I just take different routes, and I'd go and check on jobs, or I and you see a lot of things that maybe need to be done, or safety issues. You could we had all were wired for radios, and you could call back and and, and I did that, and I'd spent about a half an hour every morning. You'd be surprised the wildlife that's on this campus, the hawks and the Falcons and the owls and the squirrels and just this blue heron, you know. And that was kind of a kick, you know. And you're seeing all this while you're basically trying to get ahead. And I did that for a reason too, because by the time working hours start, well in the phones start ringing, or you got problems, or there were days where I might never see campus. So I knew I saw it every day in the morning, and I knew, you know, safety wise, I could report things, or if we had storms or something, but that was a sidelight. It was just going through campus, and you could really pick up something that maybe should have been done or wasn't getting done, you know, and make out a work order on it, and that. And I enjoyed that. And it only took, like, a half hour I could get through this whole campus, you know, because once the bell rang, you know, then the phones and you're talking, you don't need meetings and all that. And, you know, I tried to get out on campus as much as they could, but there's some days, you know, we couldn't, so it worked out well. And I encourage the new guy to do that. He's doing that, and he's he's finding out, just, you know, he's paying off. And you get out, and not only that, but sometimes you're going through campus, and you spend a little more time, you get to see your workers a lot more. You can visit with them, because some of the crews we had in earlier, you know, and so you can stop and jowl with them a while, you know, keep your hand on the pulse, so to speak, what's going on out there, things Okay, and, you know, and I think that was important, this is to have that rapport, you know, where you're trusting each other and you respect each other. And you know. So I it all worked out good.

I don't, you know, I didn't really add that much to it and but still, I, you know, some of these people. I mean, I've got a lot of stories and, you know, and things that, but it'd take hours to tell you about them, you know, and I could, I could tell them on tape. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that about some of the things we ran into, and some of the different things that the rock concerts and the marijuana fields and all this marijuana Well, yeah, it was after the they had a rock concert in 77 the Fleetwood Macs. They were real hot. Then Stevie Nicks was the lead singer. She was real Yeah, they had in the football stadium three weeks before the first game, and the first game was on national TV, so they allowed not only people to sit in the stands, but field sitting right well, these people brought in, you know, coolers with beer and booze and, I mean, there was a the marijuana was so thick over the stadium. But these people started coming in, like a week ahead of time from all around and they were camping out on those it was a mess. But anyhow, the next morning, I mean, people were still laying past out on the field. We had to drag them off, and we had to run up one of these magnets on the field, pickleball and knives and forks and the needles and all that. I mean, people were just bombed out of their guards. Well, the one thing that I never thought of because the quicker you can get water on the field, you know, because it was just pounded down from jumping up and down in this spilled coke and the booze that really burns lawns. And, you know, people were urinating and, I mean, it just was a mess. It was terrible. Thank God. It was the last concert we had in there, but it was three weeks before the first game. So we started watering and watering all of the sun. I started looking for, you know, it's marijuana. We've had the entire field from guys throwing butts away and from the seeds and the cigarettes. We had marijuana all over. I had, I had a line up our entire ground staff side by side. And we had a walk the entire field. You can't spray it, because you'll kill the grass. You had a hand pick it. We had bags of this stuff. And I, you know, I was never into marijuana, but I know what it smelled like. And I mean that stuff grows fast, and just from the water and fertilizer we were pouring to it, you know, you know, that's pretty well kept secret, but we had our hands full, and we just, we had it. We lined up and walked from sideline to sideline and just kept picking the student population to realize what was going well. I mean, I'm sure we could encourage a lot of people to come in and help us pick, and then they if they could keep it, you know, because it was leafing out, it was, you just couldn't mow it out, you know? That was, that's quite the story. Yeah, that was interesting. It was an interesting time. But we got the field back and for the first game, like I say, it was a national TV game, so we were on TV a lot, you know, for football particularly, but baseball, doing women's softball, you know, and so, but that was a kick. That was something I everyone should experience, something like that, no, but don't know, they shouldn't, because that was a downer. I mean, there was a downer for the guy, you know. They had to feel beautiful. And and they they got it in through the administration, because they said, well, we'll give some proceeds to the health fund at the university. By the time they paid for all the damage and stuff, there wasn't any money left for that. It was just a ruse. But they packed the stadium, and they had 15,000 on the field. And, I mean, oh, and the cleanup. We were cleaning up garbage for a week after, not only in the stadium, but around the stadium where they camped, they just tossed us. What a mess. Oh, you know, I, I, I thought about it, but not seriously. I said, Well, what am I? I'm going back to harlows, where it's nice concerts there. What am I doing there? This wasn't part of my job, but we had the people, and they, they, they hug in there. When you look at the pictures now, because I took pictures of it, you kind of have to laugh, but it wasn't funny, yeah, it's only funny. Much, much later, much later. So Well, thanks again. Okay, enjoyed it. Yeah, and I'll be glad to edit that, or whatever you want. Oh, I know, hopefully it won't get around. Course, you get a raw melt 77 this is 123 26 years later, they can fire me.
