I got back from picking up some misc nuts and bolts and washers to assemble the white car and I see the mail has arrived. Business has been really slow the last few weeks and money is really tight and getting worse. Today I got this letter from the Joint Port Labor Relations Committee. I have been selected to process for my casual card which means if I pass everything, it wont be long and I will be able to go full time as a longshoreman. I was worried about what I was going to do when it comes time to retire, now my thoughts will be at ease. I am so stoked right now. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeehhaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Way to go Scott. I know it's a long road to travel to get in. Both my Father and Grandfather retired as longshoreman. It's the best game in town if you can get in.

Congratulations man! I had a pretty good financial windfall today too. I got an e-mail that my distant cousin, who is a Saudi prince just passed and left me 5 mill.+. As soon as that check for legal fees clears I'm loaded!!
