Why Wast Time...
Get Fired Now... & go paddling.
I can quite my job any time... I don't need money.
I don't need to eat... or stay warm...
Just like I can stop making kayaks...?

: Back in January I lost my job. To make matters worse I was forced to move my
: boat house off of the companies river front property and find a new
: location. Since the building was a joint venture with my neighbor he
: decided to buy out my half and move it to his house about 12 blocks away.

: The building is 14 ft. wide x 20 ft. long x 10'-6" high with a gravel
: floor. In order to move it, we bolted in support crossbeams and angle
: braces to allow it to be carried on a gooseneck trailer.

: Everything went smooth and we had it spotted at the new site in about three
: hours. The link has several more pictures of the move and the building at
: the old site.

: Also, I started a new and better job on Wednesday working for the local
: DuPont plant. The really sad part is that the Ohio river is finally warm
: enough to paddle and I have to go to work. Next time I get fired I'll do
: it in late spring so that I can enjoy the time off.
