COPS

Guys, my best friend owns a tackle shop. Looks great from where we are, but I don't want any part of it. If you love fishing or boating, those are two fields you can't really work in. You'll wind up working during the best times. Time to think of plan B. Thinking about plan B, I oughta become an insurance agent. They are always on the golf course or the boat... ;D

Willy,

Great story!! I can tell that is one of those that you remember like it happened last night. Those are the ones to hang onto.

Here's an idea for your next job, write down those 28 years worth of stories and sell em. People love a good cop story.

Sounds like a pretty good retirement. We get the state retirement and a local suppliment. The suppliment lasts from retirement until you turn 62. Them you can start drawing your 401k. I don't know the percentages cause I'm not close enough to bother with it yet.

COPS DON'T GET PAID FOR WHAT THEY DO, THEY GET PAID FOR WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO.

You'll do alright Randle, there are other fellows on the job that are on this site.I have PM'd with a couple, they don't post much. Generally I had a pretty average career for the time period I came up.
Some guys here on the site have had some real bad experiences that have bothered them physically and mentally and I wish all the best to them, however their retirement works out.
And Air I hear you on the working the sport you love thing, been there, seen it ,done it.
Diffrence is in Fla, got a long long season number one. Number two if you do it with a decent partner you split the time and make it work.
There is a lot to be said for making a living with something you love. Plus generally speaking no one shoots or stabs you at the bait shop ;)

willy. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide bro. I could be persuaded to make a move. Then we could split the shop time even more. ;) 8)

My wife would move right now if I would let us. She wants to move to the beach bad.

What about a tour boat slash sightseeing deal. That seems like it would be profitable. Slap a couple of four strokes on a double decker pontoon boat and go!

Hey, here's another good hussle. My brother-in-law works at a plumbing supply company and helps a guy on the side installing custom shower doors. He put it to me this way - how much do you think a fellow would pay to for a shower door? Get this - $1,500 to $25,000!!

They live in Wilmington NC and there's a plenty of ritsy seaside development going on to keep them busy.

I was amazed but it just figures.

When Willy, Franco, and Chum get setup I'll be dragging the v down for alittle fishing. *You guys will give a little advice to a fur-en-er?, right?

I'll tell ya, got to stop talking about this. Took a quick siesta this afternoon on the couch and had a dream I had MJ's favorite truck, my super duty, heading south V20 in tow and CB playing some Jimmy Buffet on the CD. A couple of hitch hiking college girls on spring break on our laps and the Wind Talker running behind us dressed in leather yelling" CB don't go". Stinky in the truck bed dressed in flourescent pink thong shooting at him with a hand cannon.
I got to lay off the Jack. Just wine for the rest of the week ;D

Wow, what a dream :o
