I figured we could use a place to say stuff that nobody cares about except the guy doing the posting. Just like a real Pub. And since Da Nag is the Head Nerd and therefore the virtual bartender, he's the only one who has to read and reply sympathetically to everything posted here. Thanks, Bill!

I mean stuff like this: Overtime Thursday and Friday, 10 hours today on my supposed day off, and scheduled 12 hour days all next week and probably through the weekend. You people are using too durn much toilet paper. They have projects, new installations, and upgrades scheduled nonstop through June for the maintenance crew I am on. I swear, if they didn't pay me, I would quit.
 
Where the heck was this site last week. All I wanted was a little dry weather to finish my floor project and all we got was rain and when that was done we got some more rain. Boy, now that I sniveled I feel a lot better.
Now that my snivelings over I'll help Mike a little. Between coats of finish on my floor today I went up to Astoria and stopped by the TyBoo boat yard. Not a soul to be had, only three deer walking around the yard. I figured Mike was back at work again today since there looked to be a couple of projects still unfinished with tools and parts spread all over the back deck under a blue tarp. Working on our boats is fun. Working on paying for our boats is still just work.
Mike I sure hope you get a chance to mess around with yours tomorrow. Even with some sunny days, 12 hour shifts don't leave much daylight for working at boat projects.
You sure have my permission to whine and snivel.

Yeah. Whas up wit dat? You've been conspicuously absent the last week or so. Why don't you post your boss's phone number and I for one, would be more than willing to straighten this guy out.
 
all that workin just aint right.....whadda ya say Brats, we all go back to using catalogs instead of that stuff they make at Mike's plant, that should help ease things a bit........naw.
My big beef of the week is not being able to use my garrage. I have to sneak out to work on the kayak rack at odd hours. Dam kid has converted my shop into a ping-pong palace.
 
You know, Mike, I've heard that toilet paper thing at our location also. You'd think working at a paper mill, they wouldn't get so excited. I mean it's not like we're using up all the A-grade or anything!

One thing about paper mills is that the farther into the toilet the national economy gets, the more of our product they need.
 
TyBoo Mike,

That's because when the economy is this bad, there is usually a lot more crap happening on Capital Hill.

My gripe is sitting in Portland this weekend because I too had to work, instead of being at the coast working on my boat. Had to look at my own photo album just to see it :roll:.
 
I purchased a Radar Arch from Bolton Stainless(who makes the railings and such for C-Dory) and have had it here for some time now. last week I drilled all the holes for the radar and decided I should set it up on the boat and mark where I wanted to drill the mounting holes on the roof.Surprise Surprise!!! it is too narrow by about 3.5 inches. When centered it sits atop the walls :amgry I have been trying to spread it apart but there is not enough arc to spread far enough by flattening it out. :cry
Any Suggestions ???????
 
Roger,

I know, I'm too small and old to be a smart mouth! I'd recommend you talk to Les - he's got a great stainess guy close by in Anacortes who might be able to do something for you. If I ever get a boat I'll have him build the arch.

I do not miss it at all. Only thing is, I have done more actual physical labor at home in the month and a half I've been off than I did in the last year and a half at work.

I've been turning my big shed into a little shop so I have a place to keep all the tools I hauled home from the job. The big toolbox has been crowding the car in the garage. The kids never had a ping pong palace here but they do have a whole lot of junk I have been storing. Part of the shed refurbish is a loft for nothing else but storage so maybe I'll have room to walk around inside.
 
I've been working overtime daily for the past twenty months. By the time the short weekend arrives I get out on the water but it too becomes work at times. I'd love to find a job that only requires forty hours per week but I'm holding on until retirement on three years. That is, if the Chinese don't mess up my 401K any more.
 
I see lips moving by reading input words.
Yet, I hear nothing...

Aye.

Grandma used to say, "The wise man speaks when he has something to say;
the fool when he has to say something."
 
Wow - eleven and half years of a thread dedicated to "whinin', snivellin' and belly achin'" and less than 20 posts to date. I guess when you own a C-Dory, you really don't have that much to complain about. :D
