      A guy from my town died snowmobiling on the weekend... in such a small town, a big loss. R.I.P. Ed.

        Thanks. I didn't really know the guy well, but he owned the local auto parts store so I bought stuff off of him pretty regularly. Alot of the people that have been going to him for years and years are really in shock still.

        Haha thanks. When pipes freeze, they burst. Then it floods lol. Yeah there is ALOT of damage. Its actually in a rental property I own, the tenant went away and decided to turn the furnace off while they were gone. Thank god for insurance.

        Yup! Sucks about the sunglasses!

        I keep pretty much everything in dry-bags and stored in the bow/stern hatches, but my camera I have in a small dry-bag that goes in a little pocket on my spray skirt. Thats the only electronics I bring, unless you count a small led flashlight.

        And everything stays remarkably dry, which is awesome, especially considering I was fighting 2-3 foot waves on my way back to the car on sunday!

        Thanks!

        word came down that I probably won't be now. But contracts have been lost and work has been slow. Its down to the owner of the company and me, everyone else has been let go. We weren't a huge company to begin with (typically ~10 guys working), but this is the slowest it has been.

        You should just fire everyone. Only logical thing to do before the week is up ; )

        HAHA I did. Only one person though. And it wasn't really I fired them, I told them not to come in until the boss gets back and he will figure out what to do with them. But thats why I'm working 14 hour days :S

        Ugh 14 hour days??? Gross, I know how that feels... money's awesome but even that gets old quick when you're working 60+ hour weeks :-/ Good luck, hope it's over soon!
