I guess I am fortunate in that I have guys who would rather have the time off then to be saddled with "busy" work. They are ski/scuba/skydivng beach bums.

They took a month off to go skiing in the winter at Jackson Hole. They don't want to work all year. They just want to make enough money for the next "adventure".

That's what I want to work toward.

I'd love to be able to take off and travel like that.

Robert:
Do you give them "pink slips and let them collect unemployment.

Some more options might be to get one of your guys at the site either as a hoist operator, security, or laborer. Being a demo guy, you are first on the job. I solicit every single job I am on to keep my guys there during the project. Like the other guy said, it keeps you fresh in thier mind. Also, try to get a guy there once a week for a cleanup. I have had luck with that.
