No one will work seven days a week-that's the job. Everyone wants weekends off to spend money they don't have.
I would much rather work weekends, you get more done with fewer interruptions. But at my mileage (it's not the year of manufacture, it's the mileage) I'm lucky to get thirty hours in a good week. Chronic fatigue. Sucks. Would be a great job for an experienced young guy in his late forties to jump into.

Well I pretty much figure I will be going it alone with the one helper that's there now and he is 66 and I'm 65. I have the typical boss {do more with less}. I will just shorten my time there I have
no debt I owe nothing. So in the end it will be He who {does less with less}.

Sounds like the boss is gonna hit the concrete floor at the bottom of the empty talent pool pretty soon.

What! I can barely get enough ambition to read this forum and have a Sportster that needs someone to figure out an oil leak on before the snow is gone.I nominate Khansen
My main job these days is running the snow blowers to keep the driveway clear so wife can get to the store to buy food to feed me!

Funny you say that. My Millwright nephew whom is only 27 is going to S. Carolina next week for a one week job with the contractor he works for. They did some work a year ago there and the mill owner said, "Send the kid, or don't come. He cares about what he does!" It is hard to find younger talent with a good work ethic and willing to learn. I think they are some out there but the smart companies are doing all they can to keep them to.
