NOTHING, about two years ago "my wife" came up with this idea. Sell a couple expensive toys we weren't using much, refinace the house and I can quit work. Of course not wanting to start an arguement I did the right thing and took her up on it.

I do an odd job or two around the neighborhood, just to break up the boredom. A guy can only fish,hunt, and snowmobile so much.

I was in auto body repair for about 15 years before my career change. I'll be 40 this summer. Boy I sure have a great wife.

Worked as a GM service tech while I was in college. I'm an electrical engineer, but have worked in the nuclear field for last 15 years. Bought a 77 F-100, to keep my hands dirty and now would sell my 02 F-150 before I sold the F-100. Envy guys who turn wrenches for a living and love getting my hands dirty.
