    Man. I tell ya, I haven't worked since October and I'm about to lose it. I've gotten to where I sleep 12 hours, then awake 12 hours. I've been working since I was 13 and have never had a gap like this. So make sure you got plenty to do to keep your mind going. I'm just glad to hear you still have a job especially in this time. I've never heard of a rotating lay off.

    Good luck.

    Yeah, it's a new concept to me as well!

    It would be a perfect month to start homebrewing. You've got a lot of reading to do and plenty of time to do it.

    Would have been nice to have Nov off for the rut. I remember when things got bad for me in the 80's. 7 days on racking up the overtime and 7 days off drawing unemployment. Wasn't too bad, but it would have been if I were salaried.

    I second the homebrewing suggestion. Not only will it occupy your time, but it will save you some money as well, at least eventually.

    Sorry to hear about the tough times, best of luck to you.

    I would really like to say I have the funding to start homebrewing, but with things being tight already, I'm gonna have to put another hole in the belt.

    Really sorry to hear this, Dennis. Good thing you've got that deer meat from last season to keep you fed! How are the fish biting where you are at?
