It's just a "sign of the times", Jerry.
It's quite obvious to me (by the looks of the posts), that 95% of the
guys
on this list must not have hardly anything to work on these days. At
least,....I'll admit that's how it is here in my shop. If things don't
pick
up a little bit soon,.....we'll all be standing on street corners,
holding a
cup, and a sign (Saying "will work for food, and shelter"). Except of
course
this won't apply to the guys that are still in the business just for
something to keep them busy, or for the love of it...but,....it makes
me
wonder how many of the older guys on this list, really need to stay in
the
business for the $$$. I for one still depend on it for my very
exsistance. I
hope that's not the case for the majority of you. If it is,....we are
in BIG
trouble,...cause I see it only getting worse,....NOT better.
Sorry for the negative post,....but,....of course,...I'll keep trying.
What
else can we do ? Time will tell.
