Try being self-employed sometime. You can't escape work to take a dump; it's always in your head.

Thanks guys...
For those that may not know ---
I spent 43 years in my field and the last twenty five working 12+ hour days as a salaried employee with no OT pay... Our last vacation was in the fall of 1986 so this one was a long time coming...
I am retired from the technology sector now, but will be working in the automotive field as a fabricator / wrench...
Primarily working with my cousin who owns his own shopo down in Rochester::
Www.kuhnsautospecialties.com
I did the website too but it sorely needs an update..
Then there's the GT40 that I really need to finish!!!

Now, I just need to work on making the bumper, running boards, and grill not be chrome. Haven't decided on a method yet. Plus maybe some tail lights, third brake light too.
