Well the meeting last night was interesting. It was the Oklahoma City Pipeliners organization. Just 99% men (I saw two women) getting together to network and eat and tell jokes. We made a few good contacts, maybe.

I feel confident that even after just one meeting it is a fairly conservative group. They had a prayer before we ate. Before the presentation we all stood and recited the pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The food was pretty decent. It was all held at Quail Creek Country Club which was built back during the 1980s oil boom. I had not been there since the late 80s or early 90s. It has not changed a bit. It used to be very over the top fancy, but now it looks very 1980s. They have renderings in the lobby for some plans to modernize it some.

We may join the group if we can find some people needing mapping services of a pipeline route. One of the companies we are working closely with takes our imagery and uses the same software we use, and they check for environmental compliance. They can prove the surface is restored to normal ground cover minus trees. Erosion is not allowed and drainage has been done properly. They have software that predicted one client was about to have a landslide on one area (in another state) and 10 days later the were proven right when it happened.

Just one of many directions we are going.
