Trying new side buisness.

I ended up closing the deli due to it no going anywhere. I have since gotten back into something I know a little about. I bought a new Lincoln Ranger 10,000 and mounted it on my truck along with a set of bottles and a new victor torch set up. I also got a nice little Millermatic MIG machine in my shop along with a small band saw and a Milwaukee 14" carbide tip saw. I still have to get a milling machine to go along with my metal lathe. I am setting up a small welding and machine buisness. Hopefully to build into a full job shop some day.

No I never had a chance. Also didnt have any funds at the time. I will get with the instructor of our local Tech and see if he can find out anything about where that stuff went.

Sorry to hear about the Deli and sorry I never got a chance to get by. I also closed my business and "got a job". At least you have the Paramedic thing to fall back on. I only had my tool case. Since I have lost all the overhead, profits have gone up.(don't tell Uncle Sam)
