Back on nights huh? well that kinda sux....at least ur single and all. Hope you and ur Dad winterized that boat good, looks like we may actually have some winter coming this year! I will get a few paid days off but probably will have to do a few special jobs to carry a week in Christmas. Not to sound aloof or coincided or something but the way the situation is I am basically a brain surgeon working in a room full of plumbers....that has it's good and bad points....but at least the owner has a successful biz in a extremely competitive field so he is sharp on what counts ....the numbers. We have a great re pore so far and I think we are developing a good understanding between us...so there is potential..SO FAR.
It is just amazing to me how good it feels just to get out and work really. Especially since I was so worried about going back to field/job shop work at my age. I made about 1k today (kinda slow day) by myself and told him we broke even today on me. The other guys were out on a piddle handrail job. I did the front and back of a very abused 25 foot covered trailer, 5-6 high end AL rims, and in the in between gave the technical bid on a couple of bigger jobs, drew out another and diagnosed a syncrowave maintenance problem with the switchgear. A full day but, lots of laughs and a fun day. I feel lucky to have a job right now. Thank God for providing the right things at just the right time, I very seriously cannot say that enough! I walked thru my front door looking like a coal miner the last two days BUT I did it with a grin on my face.
Best I have felt in a long time.
Thanks for letting me ramble guys
