View Full Version : I'm D.O.N.E. (almost, details to follow)
After almost 9 years of tarp making, I finally do not have classes to worry about! I just finished up my last courses this week. No more homework, no more tests, no more studying. :D I do have a thesis to work on, but that's done when it's done - no time crunch on that. I can finally concentrate on new products, new stock and hopefully a new breed of custom tarps that might be coming down the pipe.
Thanks again to all who have been waiting for tarps/emails the past few weeks/months/years, I've been working around the clock to get things out the door the past few days, as well as getting ready for Trail Days! I hope every HF'er in attendance can stop by my booth and introduce themselves, I'll be around the entire time from Thursday through Sunday morning.

Congrats on finishing the classes. A few years from now you may look back on these past few years as being the good old days.
My oldest son just told us that he decided go get his masters. With 2 chemisty degres it still took him 2 years to find a job and while the one he found pays good it has little advancement opportunity so he is going to let them pay for his going back to school.
