Thanks Mike,
I always figured money was meant to be spent. I dealt mostly in heavy iron from logging and mining once that dried up got into scrap cars/trucks and bus's, electric trolleys and even hauled an English double decker once.. This is the first year ever that I have had to pay for a scrap car, how times change.
Because of my work and the money I made doing a large job, I could spend time with my wife and kids, visit my dysfunctional parents and their spouses, half brothers and sister on a whim. My father used to introduce me to new acquaintances as this is my son Gus, never worked a day in his life and lives the life of Riley. If I had it to do all over I wouldn't change a thing.
I never paid into a pension plan and have no regrets, at 62 I'm still holding my own.
I've parked the crane truck for the winter, currently working on my hot water boiler to get heat in my shop and some more heat for a chemical process used to recover the precious metals out of all those cats I've gathered over the past 2 1/2 years.
Then to complicate my life another trophy bride has found her way into my heart.
