One of our members lived in a cardboard box behind Walmart. I think no rent helps him.

Was pondering on this myself. I make 360k hamburger buns in 8 hr. I work 6 days one week and 5 days the next. Fair wage I guess but not fair enough for a fam of 3 and an expensive hobby.

I'm never eating another hamburger bun again. lol

Automobile technician for the past 30 plus years. While I love the work, I would not recommend it as a career. The amount of $ I have spent on tools and equipment would make for a nice retirement. I will not even get into the amount of time and $ invested in training/schooling to stay current with modern technology. Hell, when I went to WyoTech back in the day we learned how to rebuild carburetors Lol.

Yeah I'm avoiding the Snap-on guy right now.


I like the Dewalt 200 psi compressor. My crappy impact gun works awesome at 200 psi.
