Part time job 1: For two hours a day, I sit in my EZ lawn chair and make sure the tide go out.........
Part time job 2: For two hours a day, I sit in my EZ lawn chair and make sure the tide comes back in..........
Part time job 3: For two hours a day, immediately following low tide, I walk on the beach and dig for clams. By the way... digging for clams is optional.....
Those jobs should keep me busy don't ya think?
By the way, my "clam rake" is homemade - sort of... I found the rake part of the tool in a local junk yard but the handle was gone. Luckily the rake still had an attachment spike on it. Then I found a piece of driftwood that fit my hand well, shaved a few burrs off of it, sawed the rake end square and drilled a slightly undersized (from the spike) hole in it. I filled the hole with gorilla glue and hammered the rake spike into the hole. Finally I wound Kevlar twine in and around the tines and ran it down the length of the handle and then covered all with black duct tape. Voila! A clam rake!
Can't wait to start my job... it's less than a 100 yards to the bay and about 2 hours from low tide so I'd best get out to my EZ lawn chair to start Job 1.
I laughed so hard when I read this! Love your new jobs! Yep, being a retired full-timer is tough...but someone has to do it and it might as well be you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post on my blog about my photos. I just have a cheap Sony pink camera - less than $200. I use Picasa to upload the photos from my camera to my laptop - Picasa helps make them look better and it's free software. I'd love to have a new camera with a good zoom, but, hey, I'm retired and can't afford it now. Maybe I need to get one of those high-paying jobs like you have.
I am soooo jealous of you being back in Maine and eating those lobsters. You need at least two Lobsterdays a week in my opinion.
