This thread reminds me if an old joke. Town plant closes up everyone in town is older so most retire. News sends reporters, she asks one group at a coffee shop what do you do with your time now? One guy says mostly Screw and Hunt and Fish not much else to do around here. So she thinks quick what do you hunt? He says mostly someone wanting to screw.

I like to spend the day looking for something I know I have but won't find until three days later when I run across it while looking for something else that I won't find until sometime next week when I'm looking for something else I won't find and the cycle starts all over.

I was RIF in 1997 after working for the local Telephone companies (3) for 33 yrs, the same company bought all three so all my time counted towards retirement income. What they offered for my buy out and what I had saved in my 401K invested would make the same amount or more money that I was earning at that time so I took it and haven't look back since I'm still drag racing and making Hi Po Mopar motors for the locals here and some others across the nation and I've built several Pro Street car to flip. I don't paint or do upholstery so I farm that out, I try to break even or make a little bit so I can continue doing that, the drag racing isn't making any me any money so maybe it is time to stop driving the car and see if I can get a decent driver in the car to get back to winning here locally Your future is in your hands, thank carefully and do your best to succeed and have fun at the same time

You guys have been watching me in the shop! Not sure where or when I learned it but it's not fun anymore.
