I guess the economy is not THAT Bad!

Not to worry, all nations great and small will print money and pass it out to keep people from exercising their constitution right to demonstrate. I intent to exercise my constitutional rights while this all unfolds.
We will know what happens next by Wednesday morning. Good Luck

I am in NE Connecticut and have a 59 to polish. Email me.

Yea, it's a pretty big issue up there. Most business can't compete at any level because all income on the Indian land is 100% tax free....gambling proceeds, resort, etc...all tax free.

Lots of lost businesses up there around the areas where these casinos are located.

Maybe I should go into the trailer polishing business. Seems like there's a demand down there in CT, which is definitely within striking distance.

I'm at least half-serious...maybe 3/4. I think the biggest problem would be my lack of arms like this:

You are sooo lucky this guy didn't take the job. Of course he would need a place to stay. He is homeless. He would have moved into your trailer, in the heated garage. Sucked you dry working and working and working on your trailer, between his job searches. I could hear the excuses now. Couldn't get to it this week, job searches kept me busy. I'm sick and just need to crash for a while. Out of cash and need another advance... He would do just enough to keep you entertained. The small progress would be made to sould like huge efforts.

After about a year of frustrating issues trying to get him to complete the job you hired him for, you would have to get the Sheriff to come and kick him out of your trailer. Sheriffin' is what I do. Count your lucky stars this guy moved on.

I been saying this ALOT lately, but I'll say it again here.

If you think the poor people have been screwing you over, just wait until you realize how bad the rich people just screwed you over. You will never get over it as long as you live. You life will never be the same.

Welfare for the poor is a bargain compared to welfare for the elite.

SO we thought maybe he'd like a job. We told him that we would remove all the awnings, we're replacing them anyway, all the running lights, all the refectors and anything else that would unbolt and we would strip all the clear coat off, Plus supply him with all the compounds and supplies he needed to polish the Airstream,and pay him $2,000.00. Oh and the AS would be in a heated garage.

Nope. he saw if it wasn't a job he could complete in a day he wasn't interested! I was kind of speachless. Our younger son who is 29 was standing there he was also speachless. This man is about to be homeless and he turns down a job.

Next morning we arrived at our garage where we have the Airstream inside a heated garage, makes it nice for working! And Harold fines a piece of the old belly pan shining like a new dime.

Josh, our son, says. "I'll do it, I'll even strip the old clear coat off for $2,000.00." So I guess our airstream will be his learning curve! He's a very, very, fussy young man, much like his father, while Josh always said he would never be that fussy. Harold Always said to him "As I am you soon shall be." And he has turned out JUST like his father! I know he'll do a great job.

I looked for someone in my area for a long time to polish. Finally found a guy who refurbished classic cars and needed some work. He did a fantastic job but said it was way to labor intensive to ever do it again...
