Hey Doc. You forgot Van Aerobics.

:wink:

Yeah, Dancing with Hondas!!! :shock:

Nope. I've had a lot of hours over the years to think about this, and I can't fathom any way to turn any of this into a job.

Technical writing is the easiest of these things to sell, so when I got laid off from my comfortable trucking gig, that's what I decided to do. I had no intention of driving a truck again, and gave away all my day-to-day trucker crap, including a brand new atlas.

I bought another brand new atlas the other day. I'm defeated. I have no dreams anymore. I dream only of getting enough of the bills kicked down to where I can afford a 60% pay cut without going bankrupt.

Maybe two more years, if I play the game well.

Then we can see about this part time trucking that's what I'd really rather be doing.

Camping, fishing, hunting, working on my Mustang, I am currently restoring an antique motorcycle.

I forgot model railroading! :)

Though I really seem to have gotten away from it. I may have room to build a real layout when my kids move out, but not before then. I've had all my stuff packed away in a couple of boxes for years now. I've been thinking about dragging it out and putting it all on eBay, but I keep thinking maybe one day I will go back.

I guess one thing's for sure, and that's the fact that my old Badger Acuflex paint is bound to be worthless by now. I have a ton of that stuff out there. I spent an insane amount of money on the contents of two boxes. I think I got in over my head, and got too obsessed with superdetailing everything to perfection, instead of just running the damn trains.

Blah. Let's just pull the plug on this one.
