It sounds like my younger years. The only thing different I worked on cars and trucks. I would work for the dealer all day and at night work at home in my own shop. When I was putting in all them hours working that was all I had time for. How in the world you do have all this time to be writing on the computer because when I was putting in all them hours it wouldn't be something I would of did. I also found it didn't make much time for a family life. Also I found the more money I made the more I would spend so I never got ahead on anything. I don't miss working all the time, oh by the way your body will start giving out in your older years also like your knees and back.

Through the years I found that working on trucks was where the money was to be made. They would want them fixed at no matter the cost. Cars were always a PITA because the customer was always looking at what dose it cost. Now that I am older I wouldn't do any of that type of work anymore. Lawn equipment and motorcycles is as big as I want to go. Been doing small customer jobs in my wood shop lately like repairing some chairs and a women wants some bird houses made. No oil and grease on my hands working with wood.

When I was younger and anything I had to do with wood I had two left thumbs. I was given a old table saw and for some reason I started to make bird houses. It got to the point on just how many bird houses would anyone want. So after that I bought a new table saw and many more tools. Now its got to a hobby I enjoy doing but its hobby that comes and go's as I feel like doing it.

Maybe he jerry rigged it because it was a choice between having no drive at all or having drive ability to clear some snow?

I would jerry rig it as well to get the job done then and there.
