I'm gonna be the guy that talks about all the uncertainty of being in business for yourself.

I have experience...and I'm good at perspective.

There will be times you wonder/worry about making ends meet...

there will be times you wonder why you gave up that weekly paycheck...

there will be times it feels way worse than a job.

Then one day you'll say I'm going to the track...and no one says no...

and all the bullshit becomes ultimately worth it.

I've already said it Kev, but good luck.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Let me know if you need any components machined :)

I may have a need for some engineering. I have a top secret project in mind.

Just a quick update-

Things ate going according to plan. If all goes well with lendors I should be up and running late Marxh-early april.

The Deal King fired up the Deal Generator and scored an automatic horizontal band saw for $1200 and (I think) a bridgeport mill for $1000

:D
