    not liking to break my concentration, I stick to strictly part time, working only half days. and the best part, is that I can chose which half I work! I can work either the first 12 hours, or the next ; )

    People pay me to take piles of stuff and turn them into houses or cars, other people pay me to turn houses and cars into piles or stuff. I buy , sell and scrap what is left over. The pay is mediocre but it keeps my cost of living VERY low.
    Satisfaction is the death of desire.

    Depends on the time of the year. Year round I do scrap and buy/sell stuff I get from CL and auctions.

    When Summer rolls around, I sling sno.

    Bus driver for an assisted living/nursing facility. Great job, but crappy pay. Full time 30. Which is perfect for me. I get insurance and can pay the mortgage and the rest of the time is mine to scrap. Sometimes the 2 blend together as I have been able to meet up with lots of contacts while on the job.

    So do you ever look at your work and say to yourself, "ya know, this sucker would look awesome in black with some nice candy apple red flames. Or maybe a nice cobalt blue with white racing stripes. Enough of the flat gray already!"?
