Seattle Boat Show


Mike's company is participating in the Seattle Boat Show this weekend at Quest Field. He's been working down there for the past week getting the stages and the boats ready for the show. As part of their stage of boats, they needed a staircase to get up into a boat and who better for the job? Mike. With his past history of working for Buchan Homes, he had the skills needed to build these stairs. It was a piece of cake. So Decker and I went down to check out the handiwork. Pretty impressive!

Then later this week, Chris, Mike's boss, told all the mechanics that instead of laying off employees, they are cutting back hours to 6 hours per day and off on Fridays. With all the school assignments and classes that Mike has to complete in order to get his degree before June, it will allow more studying time. Also, with all of the layoffs in the country and the Unemployment Rate going up, we're grateful that he still has a job. Hopefully they'll be more people buying boats in the near future.
