    I'm a contractor with no work, so I have lots of free time for my rides. It does save on daycare so that does help offset the lack of income.

    I did buy a plasma table last year, so as soon as I get on it that will bring in some income.

    Now I sell my body to good looking women. Business is real slow so far... :D

    I used to fix big computers before anyone ever heard the words "personal computer" together in a sentence. Made lotsa dough doing that.

    35 years in a variety of shops as a fitter/fabricator/welder/machine operator(both Union & non), then got 'enlightened' & went Union Ironworker(finally got paid decent money) for 15yrs. Officially 'retired', but if the right dispatch comes along I'll take it, otherwise I'll keep playing in the dirt with Sprint Cars(antique & recent) & learning to be an Automotive Archeologist specializing in left turns! Also 'A-A' trucks! LOL!!
