Default The party's over !

I just got a call from work tellin me I start fulltime work next Monday.I've been layed off all winter and have grown fat and lazy !! I woke up just the other day and looked down and wondered where my feet were as I couldent see past my gut ! I'm looking forward to going the extra mile and a half this year for sure ! Seriously though,I enjoy my job.I work for a tent rental/wedding/event company setting up tents.We travel all over and have jobs that we do for alot of different folk's.We do fairs,private partys,etc.and some of our best clients are the NY historical society and the local collages.I work with my best friends and we really have alot of fun and meet some pretty cool folk's.The only problem is that it cut's into my treasure hunting big time,but without it I wouldent be able to buy any more toys. This year I'm getting a hooka dive system and plan on getting rich so's I can retire to the good life !

Thank's y'all, Yup not your typical 9-5 job for sure.I have gotten more than one place to hunt from the folks I meet.It can be pretty tuff at times,some of our tents are 60x300 feet long.There's alot of heavy stuff I gotta haul around,so your right about the gut Anne ! In about a month I'll be able to see my feet again as well as crush a VW with one hand !

I'm pretty syked about the hookaDiveing it's an awesome thing ! I have all the dive gear i need but have a hard time finding somewere to inspect and fill my tanks so the hooka will be perfect for me.There are alot of sites around here that should hold some great treasures.The old swimmin holes and lakes have the potential of givin up old coins and jewelry,relics,bottles as well as indian artifacts.I have one site that was used as a picnic grove and swimhole as far back as the late 1700's.
