Nope. Working and then going to my old job to clean out my locker and turn in my badge.

I am spending all day alone, no cleaning, no cooking, nothing I don't wanna do. I may watch a little tv, I might go to the Casino for a bit. I might just take a nap. I have no commitments today

we are setting the masts on the pirate ship today....don't know how cool that is..

 

[red_zr24x4]

Yeah none of that sounds fun, but I do like MrsG's plans

 

[Birds Away]

The only thing on my agenda today is dinner with my mom. It's been a few weeks.

 

[red_zr24x4]

I think Im going to the smelt fry this weekend, tthats the extent of my plans

 

[MrsGungho]

If hotel prices hadn't been so high, I would have been alone last night too.
MrG used his disabled vet status, at the encouragement of the lady on the phone, and he is still paying around $86 for a night. Would have been $158 without his discount.

Do you have to use a crane for that??

Yeah, on my business trips I have been averaging around $130 for Hampton Inn's....They are silly expensive anymore...

Hampton Inn was over $200. Every place he called was outrageous because of the concert. Holiday Inn was the only one to work with and actually try to get him a better rate.

we have a guy come in with a pole setting truck. He has just enough height to set them

sounds like to much work to me

That would be cool to watch....if you was closer I would drive over there. How long does it take to do all of the rigging after the mast is set??

Arrrggg, that's not very Pirate like, MrsG......

Takes about an hour or so to set the masts and then a couple days to rig it all.

Not trying to be an asshat but, it's called stepping the mast and there are certain traditions that should be observed.
