The offshore pictures that bendlure posted,made me think of cleaning up my photo files in the computer.I figured I'd post a few up here,as I have absolutely nothing to do at work today.
It's scary slow here,I'm just glad I'm almost at retirement,I hope we can hang on for the sake of all the youg people who work here.
So anyway here's a few boring photos that will be going into the recycle bin.

I have so many sunset and sunrise pics that I could delete several and still have plenty.

the business is scaffold rentals and sales.Most of our business is rentals and business had been great up to about three years ago.
We aren't alone in this most of our competitors are slow as well.We had a total of 11 branches, from Maine to Virginia beach.we have closed 3 of them.
We are a full service supplier and do all from the rental of the scaffold, to the design, and the erection and dismantle of the scaffold systems.
It litterally was like coming to a dead stop. We are hoping thatthings turn around soon, we have a lot of large jobs pending, but haven't got the green light from the customers yet.
Yet we hear everyday how great the economy is from the lamestream media, what a croc.

Yeah it's been a strange year.I work out of the western mass area and our business was predominately driven by jobs in western Ma, Ct, and Ny.
We had a load of jobs at colleges,power plants,chemical industries,and other commercial buildings.
What we are hearing now from a lot of our contractors is that they are waiting for their customers to give them the go ahead.
We deal in pipe staging,tube and clamp,and system scaffold,we don't get involved with power lifts.
Who knows what the future is going to bring,lots of companies are holding off some of these big expenditures until they see what the first of the year will bring them when the new healthcare garbage kicks in.
