Uh huh........... I guess you could call me ballast, as long as I'm not standing on your feet when you do.

Cool, you guys are about the only ones working around here. Specs are few and far between. I have 1 contractor out of my usuals that was working the first half of the year. He only builds custom, normally 1m plus. All his stuff is nearly wrapped up and he doesn't have any prospects that I'm aware of. I've bid a couple of jobs but they're small and won't last over a couple days.

Same here, I never wanted to get big. Unfortunately, maintenance eats my lunch.

I'm glad to see fuel drop. I still can't afford it, but it's cheaper.

What was the line from Heartbreak Ridge, "If it took a quarter to go around the world, I couldn't afford to get out of sight".
