Sound good. Where do I sign up?
Seriously though, if something ever happened with my current employer (where I've been for coming up on 25 years) I'm going to seriously look into the snow removal gig. Brutal hours when there's a snow event, but the rest of the time you just collect standby pay, and get laid off over the summer and can collect EI...which would be pretty awesome for riding season.
A guy like me with ~30 years experience in heavy equipment and a clean record are in high demand, I'd not have any trouble finding the kind of work I want.
