Good morning all,I'm beginning to wonder will I ever finish these boats,it seems like every time I finish one,a friend of mine stops by and says,please fix this one for me,and being as how I am about friends I say yes,well no more,I took everything off the highway,including my sign.This is my last week,next week I'm going to get some sun and get out of here.You might say to yourself get some sun.Whats up with that? In doing fiberglass repair,I try to stay out of it,when your pores are open the fiberglass trys to get in,you talk about itching powder.I know in cable,8hrs plus a day in the sun,you got to have a little sun or your cooked. I can't wait to be back on the road again.I treat this computer like a video game,I know some of the things I write here are not found amusing to everyone,but maybe you can understand,how it is, to never encounter the BS I catch on here,in real life.This place(THE WET CEMENT)is a place I come to be serious as well as to play the game.Soon I'll be back on the road,I know there will be a number of you that read here that will be coming with me.When I go some where I make big dollars.Some don't seem to believe its possible,let me tell you it is.Here is just one of the important Questions I ask.As so many things ,I learned it the hard way years ago."How much easment is there?" This is an easy one for Co.'s your calling to answer,but its what they don't tell you that can bite you.My knowledge came from years back.I called this co. operating in Sebring Fla.I won't call their name.I asked how much how much easment is there? He said its 80/20 he told the truth on the phone,it was what he said,its what he didn't say,that pissed me off and I was there only two weeks because of it.One week work one weeks notice I'm leaving.This is what he didn't say.Yes it was 80/20 but I was the one getting all the 20,It didn't matter that I could out cut the other men,I was the low man on the totaum pole,and the Florida boys got all the gravy and I got all the back easment bullshit.I approached the project mgr.about it ,his response was take it or leave it.So I did,I gave him notice I was leaving.I won't put up with such BS I won't be used.Everybody wants the gravy.Now I dicuss at length how the work is handed out before I ever go anywhere.I let who ever I'm talking to know you better not lie to me or I will pack my mess and I'm gone.I hate Co's that always give the gravy to certain individuals.Its not fair to any or all.I will promise you this, my jobs won't be run that way.There are alot of other questions you need to know to ask,all of which I've learned over the past 22years. Most of which have come from the school of hard knocks.People will use you right and left if you let them.So let them paint me how ever they want to paint me on here.I know that I know what the lick is, and how to consectivily make good money.I know I can't spell,that doesn't matter to me I'm not the secertary,I'm that old dog in the field.So If you want to get on my band wagon welcome aboard,if you don't oh well its not my loss.I hope everybody has a great day and makes Big $$$$$$$$$$$$ see Ya

Good morning all,this one is about losing a loved one to alhyzmers,my mom.She is still alive,but does not know anyone,and is now confined to a wheel chair.I can remember how it all began.In the beginning we thought her memory was going bad.The first signs we noticed is when she was in the neighbors house watching tv,the neighbors came home to find her,she though she was in her own house.We moved her in with us at this point,not knowing what lye ahead.She started arguing with my children over toys saying they were hers.My wife reached a point where she couldn't take it any more,so I took mom on the road with me.I was working in Myrtle Beach S.C. for the Mtn.Mom couldn't be left by herself or else she would wander off.So this Biker friend of mine Steve Flemming's old lady would watched her for me.I can still remember the day she had to leave 15 minutes early.We thought she would be all right till I got there.The next thing I know.Big JoeJo Brown calls me on the radio,he says I think I just passed your mom walking down the strip.I radioed back pick her up.By the time he got turned around,she was gone.At this time of year MB had thousands of people.I called the police and they came by and got her description,about half of the Mtn.was out looking for her.I can still remember how it terrorsied me.About two hours go by,finally some of Steves friends on their Scoots found her,Steve raidoed me and I came and picked her up.It was at this point I realised I had to do something.Its one of the most heart breaking things you will ever have to do,if you have to put your mom in a nursing home.The disease progresses rapidly,they lose their ability to control body functions,and have to wear a diaper.That was three or four years ago now,I don't really remember,I've tried so hard to forget it.I can recall the first time she did not know who I was,I had been gone to Ocala Fla.for five weeks,when I got back she didn't know me.It nearly killed me.Now two years later,she has lost the ability to walk,talk,or feed her self on her own.It breaks my heart every time I go to see her.I just think to myself how unfair life can be, here is one of the sweetest people I've ever known,how could this happen to her.I still can't answer it.I know many of you won't understand why I've written this story.Its because,I wanted people to realise if you have some one close to you and you love them.Love them all you can because you never know what tommorrow might bring.I've lost so many friends and loved ones in my life time,the older you get the more you lose.When your young it seems like you will live forever,as you get older you realise life deals you some pretty hard cards!When people ask why I would start a company under the premis of do unto others as you would have them do you,its because I've have realised their are more important things in life than money,don't get me wrong it helps,but I've never known any one that ever died that ever managed to take even one thin dime with them.I see so many people that seem to think wealth is so important,I feel this way if God meant you to be rich you will be,everything that happens to us in life has a purpose.I apologize for taking up space here to write this, so if you don't want to read it please scroll on past,I just felt compelled to write it.I hope everbody has a great day and makes Big $$$$$$$$$$ See Ya
