Buisness in Boise
By Neil Ransom | April 13, 2008
So since I’m currently “under the weather” in the employment arena I have started to do a little work with my father in law until ether he hires me full-time or I find another full-timejob. This meant that I spent the weekend with him up in Boise and McCall, Idaho running various errands in regards to the new magazine he is starting here in Utah. He has had some muchachos from El Salvador make customized magazine racks in the likeness of little cabins with the magazine logo plasma torched into steel. So basically what we had to do was load 25 of these things onto two trucks and then haul them down to Boise. The only problem is these magazine racks weigh about 300 pounds each. Amazingly two of the muchachos could carry one of them and then loaded them onto the trailer and then I pushed them into place. Once they were all loaded we headed down the hill from McCall to Boise going tops 40 miles an hour. The load was just too heavy for one of the trucks so what should have been a 2 hours drive turned out to be 6.
More or less that is all we did, but it ended up taking the better part of two days. Here are some photos from the trip including two of me with my new hat (and by new I mean a cowboy wore this thing for the better part of 3 decades and all I did was was have it reshaped).
