Best you take a good long look at Tigerseye before its much too late.
“How many wasted decades do you have?”
I wasted no decades...been an electrician for 30 years too...
Happily married for 22 years...I raised three kids, bought several rental properties, including a lake property and ski boat...and just paid cash for a 2009 impala my wife took a shine to...my f150 is paid off as is my classic 73 pontiac and my 650 nighthawk...
I have an extensive lionel train collection and an HO slot car collection...
I know this is hard to wrap your herbert head around....
But you are making some pretty silly assumtions...
I did all that and didnt live like a pussy in fear of the federal govt.
I’m ok with were I spent my decades....
Can you rebuild a 350 small block from memory?
