Drove through Booger Hollow many times, just south of Yellville and Flippin Arkansa, you just can't make up names like they do! :rotfl: Frog Spit was just down the road!
Everyone always told me how "pretty" the Ozarks are, on the contractors end I thought they were a nightmare! :ohmy: took all day to get anywhere and had guys piling up trucks at the bottom of the hills. Maybe as a government employee I'll be able to enjoy them a little.
Sounded like there was virtually no traffic on the roads we are fixing so that will lower the stress level a notch as well.
Sisco was dead on when it comes to the government credit card and expense system. I read some last night but it only confused me more, hope they send me to the classes soon! :unsure: I want my 55 cents a mile!

Ironic, one of my locations is about ten miles into the mountains right out of Booger Hollow, it's the closest hint of civilization to the jobsite! I saw a nice big black bear there while trying to find a location that my cell phone would work yesterday. Strange how some things keep popping up in life! Beautiful country, unless you have to get somewhere in it!

As an unpaid advisor to a division of the State Department I only have to use the E2 system once a year. Which means I don't use it enough to get familiar with it. Add on top of that all the approvals I have to get from all sorts of people and it makes for an adventure I don't want every year. Once you get the hang of it you will be fine It will just take a while. Get a kick out of those Ozark town names. Got one from Ireland for you and I kid you not. Ballyliky Ireland.

:rotfl: How do THEY pronounce it?
I remember how upset the residents of Dumas Arkansas got when I didn't get it right ;)
