    So one of my athletes told me about this company today called "10 Tree" (tentree.com). They're an apparel company where for every item purchased they plant 10 trees in a list of countries of your choosing (the US and Canada included), based on the organization of your choosing, or they pick for you. It's all sustainable and "eco-friendly" for the earthy crunchy hippie in you, and since the largest air purifier on the planet is currently ablaze it definitely seems like a good cause. Like most sustainable apparel companies the stuff isn't the cheapest ($30+ for a Tshirt) but it also could be worse...SAVE THE PLANET MAN! :headbang::headbang::headbang:

    I don’t think you can afford me :D

    I absolutely know what you mean about trying to find good foreman though... watching some of these knuckleheads try and read a set of plans is like watching a group of monkeys try to fuck a football. The really good foreman have it down to an art, things go fast and smooth and it almost looks like they’re not even trying. The typical foreman I see now just has everything in total chaos, deliveries not planned, no clue where he is with the schedule, runs out of materials, it’s sad.

    Is it strange to have a new guy running those double trucks? I have no idea if that makes it a lot harder or its just like towing a trailer? You going to run lots of overnight or mostly day trips?

    Clean truck and looks good tho!

    $45/hr! Time and a half Sat, double time Sun... some foremen of mine are making near $150k. Hell, just hanging sheetrock I'm paying $24/hr. which is damn good for carpenters.

    Tandem towing! Wow. That's quite a rig, Snowman.
