Time for a change
By: Old Iron Logging Date: July 13, 2011, 7:35 pm

The last 2 weeks have been interesting. 2 weeks ago I parked my
logging gear and went to work for the local Stihl dealer. Sold
the forwarder today.

Is it a semi retirement or are you going to be working for them
full time?
6 more years 2 months till I have a full retire at 66% after 30
years or buy 4 years of federal military time and get out in 2
years and about 4 months.

Now comes the hard part Art..
making 40 K instead of a 100...
Just got a lead on some work a little north of me, they cant
find any loggers and the timber companies are begging
for wood to be cut, no bidding..

I could boogie any time I want on a fairly good pension ,not as
much as working though .
Now the choice would come down to either going to work or
listening to "honey do "stuff 24 and 7 . Can you imagine those
people that have half a dozen wives .No body could take that . I
have a hard enough time with one . ;D

At home I only have one non demanding wife, at work, I have
planners and schedulers and they are like 12 needy ladies. At
home I can leave, at work I'm forced to listen..
If I had any kind of pension I'd be cutting grass at a golf
course... 14 years 4 months till its available...I'm sure it
will go fast
Glad your healing Art, hand logging isn't an easy sport..
Is it lobster season yet?

We have a winter lobster fishery. Season runs from the end of
November to the end of May.

I didn't know that, is that all the Maritimes? I have a
hankering and its got me thinking of them.
Imagine being on the Atlantic ocean during winter soaking wet
all day, another good sport.
Is your shop in the rental biz also? that seems to be the local
cottage industry here.

We are not into rentals. The owner sold his sales/rental
business to Cat Rentals in 2006. Cat wanted to part with the
sales side this spring so he bought it back.
