For the close to %50 of you who work hard and contribute to this great Nation, relax, enjoy this beautiful day with your friends and family.

For the rest of you who intentionally do not and are living off others hard work, well God see's you and so do we.

And for those who have lost their jobs do to this economy and the lack of leadership we have, I wish you all the best and hope things turn around for us very soon.

in honor of Labor day, I worked my a$$ off on fun projects today. I just finished a stand to mount outboards motors on, and I am in the middle of painting valances to go over the bedroom windows to block the early morning sunlight. My wife ask me to take a day off and relax, she doesn't understand, in the past two days I've used a chop saw, miter saw, mig welder, table saw, band saw, jig saw, grinder, sander, disc sander, belt sander, drill press, cordless drill, paint brush and a roller. I'm not finished for today, just taking a break to let paint dry, I'm having a blast!

been up since 4:30am this morning polishing rails. nights, weekends and holidays. i'm not complaining, i did make double time and a half, but i'm with you willy, i'm dam sick and tired of supporting all the dregs of society.
it just seems like the current administration is making it easier for the human garbage to remain the leeches on the a$$ of the working man.
i cant tell you how many school concerts and plays and games i've missed because i'm always at work.
so sing out sister, lets restore this country to its former glory. (it'll never happen).

Spent the day on the couch as I pinched something in my back and had spasms all day long.

In a few more years we'll be calling it National Outsourcing Day. They'll want us to celebrate all our jobs we've given away. :cen:
But for now, I enjoyed a day on the water, and a beautiful day it was. :beer:

The sad thing is, his "dirty" boat is still probably 10 x cleaner than our "clean" boats.... lol

Worked on the V. Made the transition from demo/prep phase to build up. At least as far as the transom and stringers go. Sold the old OMC outdrive too so I have some extra coin for the boat.
