Marty...you said something that gets me...
Am fully retired, but continue to consult and volunteer...deciding whether to
take SS or delay to increase the $$...bottom line on that is how long I 'think'
am going to last... ;(
Mom and dad allowed me to build a 3 car garage on the back of their lot when
was in high school. There is an alley and GREAT for a teen
3 electric welders, one gas welder, plasma arc cutter, drill presses, band saws,
metal and wood working shop. A 12 foot long workbench with a 10Ga galvanized steel
top. 40 gallon, 2 stage compressor and plumbed all over the shop
Home made engine hoist with a 2 ton chained hand lift and did lift the whole
front end of my olk 73 Blazer K5.
3 engine stands, etc, etc...but am hating feeling lazy when there is a need
to get on that cold concrete to wrench something. More and more taking whatever
to the mechanic and paying someone else to do the wrenching that I'd have jumped
at and finished before the end of the day...
