Default Boats for the middle class.....

There is a young guy up the street from me, high school student, who
has made quite a small business out of detailing cars, boats, trucks,
etc.

A year ago, he stopped by when I was shrink wrapping the boats and
asked some questions about it. He helped me wrap the Ranger, asked
more questions and I told him - hey, simple investment, not a lot of
money involved - go mobile like your detailing business.

He's doing quite well with it. He hired three of his friends and they
are now doing detailing and shrink wrapping all kinds of stuff on a
mobile basis. He advertised shrink wrapping for RVs, trailers and
ended up doing a whole collection of antique tractors for a local
collector who is having a new storage/museum facility built.

When I get my Ranger back, I'm probably going to take it to him to
wrap instead of doing it myself.


No, reading a story like that makes me proud. a young kid cutting his
own path. It's obvious that he wants to be good at what he does , and
takes pride in his work. and makes sure that his buddies do a good job
as well. I commend him!
