    Completely dismantle a car. I've got two in my yard I plan on doing ( one day) just to see what profit would be. Or sky diving.

    Gold prospecting can be a great challenge mentally and physically. And I'm not talking computers. Winter can be used to research locations, techniques, and equipment. In the warm months, try what you learned. Collect concentrates to work next winter and update your plan of attack.

    Looking for a new challenge

    Metal detecting, goes somewhat hand in hand with scrap because that's all I find . However doing research and exploring are fun for me and there is always that chance of treasure.

    Ice fishing

    Traping, you can make some good money selling furs as well as removing varmints.

    Turning scrap wood into furniture.

    Lego investing. google it !!!

    Get into something you've never done before like maybe if u haven't sold on eBay? Maybe go to some storage auctions, or real auctions and buy and sell. Create a new service such as foreclosure clean outs, or demo or something that you'd like to do but can earn money doing

    Human or animal powered curbco. A horse team pulling a wagon would be slower than a bike, but with more towing capacity for tools and big items.

    Thanks for all the responses!!!......LOL some better than others..........Not really in hobby mode or metal detecting would be a great one...........Just throwing it out there if someone locally or semi-local had a project or something they may need help with (either financially or with truck/trailer) I would be interested if I saw at least a little profit in it.........

    Go to one of those day labor places like manpower or something and sign up. You never know what adventure you might go on. If you're bored, it might bring new ideas to mind while you're making a little money.
