What If?


What if you had every friday for the next two months off? A three day weekend for at least 8 weeks? During the summer busy season?

Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy.

That's a lot of fishing and boating!

Re: What If?


I'd be more worried about the money I could be making on that extra day

Re: What If?


If I had an extra day off, my wife would figure out stuff for me to do that day. Better to just keep my nose to the grindstone.

Re: What If?


Who says you gotta tell the wife

True story...a friend of mine hasn't worked a Friday in years, wife has no idea....every Friday (after fishing, hunting, shopping, whatever) he comes home "madder" than he did the day before....wife just leaves him alone and waits/prays for Saturday to come.
