    Gotta keep working hard to get to that point so many of you are at! Cannot wait until I have more time to do the things I love, especially when it comes to meat processing!

        craigrice While I still do special event caterings and such, I’m busier than I have ever been. More projects around the house, more sausage, more baking, just more everything. No joking, I work harder now then when I had the everyday job.

            Retirement: get up, coffee, news, breakfast, try to remember what I was going to get done today, whoops, lunchtime, man I need beer and a nap, wow it’s dinnertime already, I’ll do it tomorrow, watch the news, tomorrow, wake up, repeat

            Give a man a fish and he eats for a day
            Teach a man to fish and he drinks beer for a lifetime

                        Brianzipperdog123 I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I have still never made it to Alaska yet. But, I did make it to British Columbia about 20 years ago & the Fishing was fantastic (Chinook, I think it was Sockeye, but it might have been Coho now that I am remembering for a second, & Halibut. The whole experience was wonderful & I sure do hope I can make it back or better yet, Alaska some day. I will keep my fingers crossed for you too!

                          Marine Corps 1989-1995. Got a job in manufacturing plant my hometown when I got out. Started in shipping and in 5 years worked my way up to welding, machine operator and then machine programmer. Water tower fabrication company in town needed a AutoCad guy. I went and talked to the owner. Said I have never used AutoCad but I am sure I could figure it out. He took a chance on me and I have been here 20 years last month.

                                          We have had some very interesting projects come through the shop over the years. It is a challenging profession but it’s anything but cool.

                                          Ya, cool was probably not the right word 😂
