I'm feeling a little sad today, I have been involved with a couple of people (one a friend and one my step-son) doing some small scale logging. Well, things just did'nt work out as far as me being able to haul the logs fast enough to keep up with them (because I also work in the yard) and besides that my truck is not really built for that so he found someon else to do the hauling.Today my stepson offered me 50.00 a day to work at the landing with my 8000.00 forklift sorting logs and just generally keeping things organized.(just out of the "goodness" of his heart) I also have an option to haul some loads and make maybe an extra 100.00 a week. Basicly, working a whole lot more hours for less money.I guess what I resent the most is being drawn into this venture by them with them knowing what equipment I had only to be told "you just don't have the right equipment...but DO hang around and work for us with your forklift for 50.00 a day okay?" Have you ever had a friend who no matter what always comes out smellin lke a rose and you smellin worse? I told my wife today that I must have some sort of dis-order to let people constantly get the better of me in just about any deal that happens between us. She said "no, you're just too nice of a guy" (thats why she's my wife) I declined the offer, and now will work for myself with myself and probably make more money . there...I feel better! thanks for listening.
