72+ hour weeks..........busy is not the word that comes to mind!

Funny thing is we have young guys working that can't seem to work for more than 30 hrs a week without griping..............Lightweights...

Morning all. Ed have a nice, safe trip. Enjoy etc. Don, we all know you're a glutton for work, but I will simpathize with you. It's different when you choose the project/ job. Work safe and keep in mind it is the last time under these conditions. Woo Hoo!, retirement is just around the corner. Now the work realy starts.

one could argue that in running 72 hour days you are doinf the work of two men
thus denying the other man a job
but that only holds true if someone else is ready and willing to do the job

Not true in our case. We have a 5 man crew that will ALL be putting in 12 hour days. Hiring enough people to work 8 hour days would require investing another $1,000,000 in additional equipment. Not reasonable when harvest only lasts one month/year.....
