He has always been very selective...or wary of new hires as they can be a total bust.

I told him that my head is still in it and I enjoy my work and the guys I work with. Bottom line is i intend to keep working until I cant. But also that I would like to have more time off during boating season....so part time next summer. He was glad to hear Im not going anywhere. He told me that the almost new company truck I drive will be mine to keep when I leave.......I will start collecting my ss in a few months but salt them away for future use.
Glad to hear this Bob… lord knows you’ve earned it… ( deserve? )

Stop wishin, go fishin, LOL

Thanks Ray. I've had jobs with several different employers over the years......some were disrespectful and unappreciative nitpickers.
Worked for these guys for almost twenty years now.....never ever had bad feelings....always positive and uplifting....makes coming to work enjoyable........unlike the guys running the millwork shop where I spent too much time before quitting....where we employees were treated like "dime a dozen.... throw away.... pos". I actually overheard that from that boss.
