Quitting work that is...long story short my vacation schedule didn't agree with Mandy's vacation schedule so she talked me into quitting! I am soon to be a "trophy husband" as of June 7th which is the kids last day of school.
Anywho to keep me out of trouble I am most likely going to start doing wrenching, fabbing and vehicular repairing & flipping this summer. Along with that comes scrap metal recycling and possibly starting a Toyota mini/cruiser wrecking yard if the chance to buy some cheap wrecks comes up. The challenge is to make a little fun money while having fun. I'm weeks away from getting my 220 welder and as soon as my 40's sell I will be looking into a plasma cutter. Depending on how things go in a year or so maybe a tubing bender and notcher will be in my future as well. Basically I will be charging materials + consumables + beer money for a while until my skills improve. (don't look at my Pigs suspension as an example of my skills, that was 10 years ago with a 110 welder in a tiny garage on the weekends to escape from my ex-wife. It was more like anger management.)
I will probably build a plate bumper this summer for the FJC and a rear bumper/tow hitch for the Pig. If the stars align a SAS for the 4runner could happen as well. Gonna have to look into building/converting a travel trailer for a car trailer too. Depending on how life goes I could see becoming a small business and setting up accounts for discounted parts from certain vendors.
All these changes should allow for more family time, (quitting time is 3:00pm when the kids get home) more camping time, more vacation time and with a little luck a lot more wheeling time. I haven't had a week off during the summer for the last 9 years, I can't wait!

This could be a problem.
