the rush is on again

Thats good regal. I really didnt get much till may.  I used to run a sale in march get boat dug out of the snow in the backyards.  Id get salmon foshermen. Looking for enclosurs for salmon fishi g april 1st.

It took getting used to being so backwards here. Now i slow down in summer usualy just enough to get by and quit early and go out fishing.

I am up to my ears in boat seats, covers and recarpet jobs! When I did only motor work, I would get very little work over the winter, don't understand it. Perhaps the folks that would have been buying new boats are opting to fix up rather than a payment book???

Not complaining, it's good to be busy, and the more work I do the better and faster I get; however the better and faster come very slowly.

I used to advertise in fall offering a free place to store their boats if I worked on them over the winter. I didn't do the winterizing ---just a spot to leave them at my shop,but that in it's self was a deal around Kenora.

Feast or famine seems to be the nature of this game. I was working on my boat running low on funds, I went to do a small cover for a towing service and landed 3 jobs while I was lacing the cover on. I should pay him for working in his yard lol. Then today I looked at and got complete canvas and upholstery on a 52' sportfisherman. Wow all the sudden I'm booked solid for months.

I'm slow in the shop but the quotes are out there. We need a week of nice weather and the peeps will be coming out of hibernation. Over 70 g in estimates for sandy damage on boats ! Wrote 12 g yesterday. If it all came in I'd be screwed but i'm sure I'll get some once the checks are in. Nor easter for tomorrow so maybe the spring thaw next week? ???

I fired real quick when I was contracting construction. When I bid the jobs it became clear  fast when I was working to pay an employees wage that he wasn't earning himself.
