Some of you may be wondering what I have been doing these past few days when I can post during "Working Hours"..<br />I have spent the past 3 weeks (120 hours) training prison inmates to be Earthmoving Machinery Operators. Our Company has set up a full hands on training site with all the toys in our fleet available as demand permits.<br />These guys (6)are on a release to work programme with the Corrections Dept and have been employed by a contractor to drive E/m machinery on a new prison site about 40 mins north of my city.<br />No previous experience but want to turn their lives around.<br />All are in the last weeks of their incarceration and are paid the std rates on the job.<br />They even get given the keys of the vehicle to drive to and from site each day, no guard with them at all.<br />We have had a great time with some real good laughs and they are off to work at site on Monday morning.<br />So some of my recent time I have been sitting in my 2nd office on our traing site and while doing my paper work I have looking at iboats.<br />So that is why I am around during the days.<br />I am now going home and we are off to the beach for the weekend to do some work on my boat.<br />
<br />Have a great weekend guys.<br /><br />Peter
