It’s kind of true. I go to grown men’s houses and they watch me work, wish that they could wear bleached out, ripped Carharts, have a truck and a dog at work, go to lunch for burgers and beers, have friends who build boat, planes and do marble bathrooms in their houses as a return favor, and be able to take off work when they want too.

If sandal wearing, come-look-at-the-color-saturation Apple guys ever figure out how to swap out window, I’m screwed.

...do marble bathrooms in their houses as a return favor

I do remodeling for fun too. You should see my marble master bathroom or the on I just did for my daughter and son-in- law. Gonna gut their kitchen next month and redo that.

I know what you mean (sarasm off).

My APPL products have given me lots of profits and saved me tons of money as a general contractor (3.5 million annual sales of small to medium homes), and in sales of rural land. I now wear shorts, and walk on mountaintops for a living,. with my dog. I drive an old Explorer daily, with 225k on it. 4wd still works fine on these WV hills. It's paid for, like the other 5 vehicles in the driveway and garage.

I am president of a small 501c3 foundation that builds hospitals in Africa. It gives me something to do with those profits! My kids are well provided. I do wear sandals, and look at most carhart guys as lazy wannabes with an attitude. My friends build bridges and airports.

As for swapping out windows, I have been a GC since the 80's. my newest sideline is solar hot water heat... sales and installs, with a few million units to sell! All profits are designated into the 501, for job funding.

I am preparing to sell Chinese units at half the price of domestic systems. Most domestic producers are buying components from China, assembling them here, and say "Buy American". It furnishes the ONLY sensible usage of the sun's energy. It actually pays for itself. China is almost 70% solar for water heating, and on the way for whole house heat.

I intend to hire 10,000-20,000 installers instead! We will also be developing another 20-100,000 jobs in WV this year, with three other projects, hopefully also to be funded by China. I'll gladly use their money to make jobs here. We will pay interest on their loans to us, unlike our government. We will also be funding more African projects..

The Chinese can already over run us any time they want. They don't want war! They just need work there, too!!! I am a Christian, and the factories I intend to deal with are run by Christians IN CHINA.

How about you? How's life outside of working for somebody else???

I prefer to do something useful with my days. At night I dream up more... My friends take care of the details.

My dog's name is Spot. My computers are always made by Apple. I own their stock, too!
