That is great news Dave.

Best of luck in the new venture. Judging from the work you have shown here on the forums, you should do very well for yourself and customers.

So,.......you're saying there's a job opening up that way that might still include office rutting practice with White Bear..?

No retirement here, its likely I'll put in 20 yrs in my little hot rod shop before I retire. But right now I sure feel free.

Deerwhacker, white bear quit before I did, he's self employed now too.


Something clever here.

BFT buddy.
I did this a while back & it's been non-stop from daylight to dusk then to the shop with me for repairs until midnight most days.
I make sure to take a little time with the bear cub in the evenings. Don't forget that part. He's just getting old enough to be scattering all of my tools worse than me.

It is a feeling like none other. The freedom & also wondering how the next months payments will be made in time. It all works it's way out though.

No kidding on the corporate structure BS. It's a nightmare with my new line of self-employment.

I'll have to swing by for coffee & check out that old shed you'll be working in the next rain day we get.

Congrats & good luck again!!!!!

Congrats on living your dream--now get to work!

But really, this is what America is all about, or at least should be.

It has to rain a bunch to shut me down as you well know. smile
We'll see what happens. The new service truck should be ready for a road trip by the end of this evening.

Congratulations Dave!

Fortunately, I have no idea what it feels like to punch a time clock. June of 2015 I'll have 20yrs in as a plumber and I started full-time the day after I graduated high school. The trades have been pretty good to me thus far and I really enjoy the fact and freedom of not punching a time clock. So far I have really only worked for 2 different companies (1st one retired) and I really have no desire to be self-employed. I'm happy packing a lunch box every day and giving an honest 8, then coming home to my family where I can focus on our interest & not having to let my work interfere with my family life. My dad owned several businesses the majority of his life and it was a big turn-off for me! Different strokes for different folks.

...... I truly wish you the best!
