    I know many of you don't just sit around. But, i also know many that do. Either that, or they come to Florida. I've had a couple of Superintendents over the years that would work for me in their off months; December-March. Their club laid them off, along with the rest of the staff. Now with the economy the way it is, I'm hearing more and more stories like that.

    Andy, I for one do sit around all winter and do nothing. Sometimes I go on snowmobile trips with other supers up here who sit around doing nothing.
    I couldn't possibly come down there and work as I have pretty much forgotten how...and I have a personal policy of never working for anyone who knows more than I do. That basically, in a nutshell rules out me working for anyone but especially that Huff SOB, you and the Lamb guy

    Is it Canadian Dollars or Canada Dollars? Don't want to keep upsetting the "Canadian" Geese-folk.

    Clay, I haven't seen Peach on the forums in awhile, so I don't know if we really need an answer? But I guess it will be fun hearing what the answer is.
