[ocba] BEE REMOVAL

Hello everyone.  Just an update on this bee wrangle.  Went by and  
checked it out today.  It's up pretty high in the eaves of the rake.   
I'm picking up an articulating lift in the morning from Sunbelt  
Rentals.  I'll take it over in the afternoon, set it up, and have a  
look.  I hope to do an initial snatch of the bees at that time, then  
go back on Sunday to finish the clean up and hopefully put everything  
back together.

I could use an experienced hand if anyone is looking for something to  
do Saturday afternoon.  I hope to get over there around 3.  Call me  
at 593-4823 if you have any interest.

If everything goes well, I'll be giving free articulating lift rides  
at my house on Sunday afternoon just for giggles.

I am Lewis Cauble, Geneva's husband.  I'm just using her email  
because it was more convenient.

Cheers,

Lewis
