Boy, that great TJ! And you're right, age is meaningless, it's all about what you are at heart.

Welcome Tradesman100! By any chance, do you own an old Dodge van?

I'm 42 & work the graveyard shift for a communications company. I have lots of time to play at night! I also get paid to take a 2-3 hour nap! My days are either spent sleeping, rustling up (like that one Fred? ) or fixing some unwanted OPE or playing on here again!

Emmo, we're in the same boat. How long you been doing this? Was part time initially but am now fulltime for almost a year. Three little kids. It's actually easier to be doing a regular job than handling the kids. I also handle the house as well as yardwork and snowblowing. Not to mention cooking. Looks like I'll be doing this another several years as the littlest one is only 19 months and kindergarten doesn't start until they're 5.

Hi mrmom,

you have a PM

I am 60 and will be "retiring" in 2 months after 30 years of state employment. I'll be able to devote more time to our market garden business and will try to get a part time winter job. My wife is nervous about me being around.
