Short wait, gives ya lots of time to plan ahead and whatnot. Im sure you could start up a small one and do some stuff at any age, like small scale landscaping and mowing and whatnot.

Sure beats the hell out of working at mcdonalds like lots of young people would do!

Well for now I'm working on an orchard. Or I hope to get some more hours in this spring once I have my license and can get myself there.

Last fall I worked in their little store. I was supposed to be working one day in their little store and one day running a fork lift in the packing house. Unfortunately the other kid they tried hiring for the day where I would run the lift was totally incompetent so I ended up having to work in their store both days. I wasn't complaining though. $10/hr is $10/hr.

Hopefully they can get me some work mowing between rows of trees and string trimming around buildings, walls, etc.

And yea I could do under the table work now, but we don't talk about that in public places like FTE.

Lisa I've actually been to the JD museum a few times it is really cool.
Oh ok. I guess I should have figured.

I have a better idea. Go naked.

LOL. Few drinks tonight Mark?

I could probably fit in that wheel all the way. It was huge.

Well it's late and I'm tired so I'm going to go sleep now.

Other than Nick, Sheldy, and myself it's been pretty quiet in here tonight.

And a question for Nick before I leave: Did anything ever happen with your skid decisions?
I started mine at 16...no one really checked my ID...try it out..worse they can say is no!


Hold the phone....did Lisa say she went into a bar and had a few drinks?! Chicka chicka ahhhh.....bow wow...
