Alright! I haven't sold the bass boat yet, so I can keep it as one ride and the dual console is set up for trolling and downriggers. So we should be in good shape for musky, striper, walleye, and bass. All we have to do is figure out how to catch something bigger than the lure! ;):p:D:eek:

Dynamite? Old telephones?

of course they're outsourcing :mad:

I really wish there were some tax disadvantages to outsourcing and closing plants here.

They had Cleo's founder on the news last night, man that was sad.:( Poor old guy thought of the place like one of his children.

I found out today that we qualify for assistance from the Dislocated Workers Program. That should help. Especially for the folks out in the plant. There are several out there in their 50s & 60s that have been doing the same job for decades.

The news also mentioned that the city is going to counter with some tax breaks if they keep the plant here... Too little, too late I suspect. We'll see.


Thanks again for the encouragement!
