At the time, it worked out to 15 cents an hour.

Wow, just think what they would have been paying you if you hadn't been getting overtime!

That was of course the olden days! In my day we started out at $78/month which is the more princely sum of $0.45/hr based on a 2060 hour year. Of course once you reached E-5 you were rolling in it at $145/mo, or $0.84/hr.

When Walt was in, they paid wages in salt. Damned armor was heavy, too.

Here's another one: My actual in-hand pay was $8 per month MORE than Custer's Cavalry Sojers.

Ah rest mah case!

40F @ 84% RH, mo rain with 11 mph winds, and predicted to soar to 49F.

Hee, hee, hee, I toured Sub Zero again and ch** chatted with their maximum leader Lew Swan. Lots of purdy new stuff to marvel at.

@Tattered Old Graywolf Looking Good
Have you done any testing or design work for Lew and Subzero?
Have you every heard of SG1 (George) for Sanctuary Gardens?

Lew's fertile mind doesn't need my help with his creations. We are more like kindred spirits sharing interests.

Sorry, I don't remember meeting SG1 for Sanctuary Gardens, but may have under another name.

Morning. Cool GW! Was probably a real interesting tour.


Thoughts for the day.....

My doc ask me if anybody in my family suffers from mental illness......I said, No we all seem to enjoy it.......

Sometimes I wonder what happened to the people who ask me for directions.....

 

[Hippie420]

Walt, I guess my Old Man was farting through high cotton when he was drawing $44 a month combat pay as a front line bullet cozy back in WWII.

I recall, working as a 12yr old kid -
at Cremards Farms -
walking alongside tractor & wagon-
picking and loading tomatoes & corn,

for 10 cents an hr
+
all the tomatoes & raw corn you could eat...

Work Ethic starts Young

I had my own lawn service at 12 , got a dollar a lawn no matter how big
The 3 acre or more really beat me and that 20inch push mower down.
I learned real fast how to negotiate a price after cutting grass for 2 days for a buck

 

[ROSTERMAN]

And not to mention most waited 3 weeks to call me back when the grass needed a sickle to chop it
Real pain in assh . I dropped those lawns .

 

[pute]

I'm worthless.....nobody will hire me.

Just got back from my daily walk with Mrs Pute. A bit breezy on the top of the dam as a storm front just now is moving through. Still a nice walk though. Hardly a soul up there this time of year. Lake still hasn't frozen totally over......warm winter.

Gotta mix up some soil and up-pot for the next run. Finally got one of my North Cindy plants to show a female and she will definitely be going into flower. Took a long time to get one ready to flip. First two seeds were both males.....This is supposed to be really good smoke. Only a few more months and it will be in my pipe.

At 12 I was hoeing neighbors gardens, pulling cotton, and tending their livestock for spending money. I was plowing, driving combines, mowing/raking/hauling hay, and driving dump trucks on county roads by 15 years old, when we moved to town my junior year of high school. Then I started mowing lawns, opened a small engine repair service, and got a regular part time job receiving, marking, stocking shelves, and bagging at the towns supermarket.

If nothing else, the olden days taught us how to hustle a dollar and take care of ourselves, without panhandling. A first world problem compared to those currently in the third worlds, and I can only imagine mowing three acres with a flint knife in the antediluvian days of yore that Walt grew up in.

41F @ 87% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 47F.

A federal judge just dictated that Oregon prison inmates be given 1A status with regard to vaccination order. I wonder if that will become a national requirement?

While cougars abound in Portland, a puma was spotted about three blocks from one of our rentals. We have plenty of racoons and coyotes, but pumas don't usually make this deep into the city.
