For a job, I deliver for Leonardo's in Mequon. Tips are not good anymore.

What I would like to do is build and sell wooden canoes and kayaks. I have been buying tools for the past 6 months and have just about all of the tools I need to do this. I'd like to start my first kayak some time next week after I buy the final tools I need.

I'm also almost done working on a project which might be patent worthy too.

Lots of options, I hope one will work.

Yeah, he's quite the audiophile. He makes his own speaker cables and interconnects, as well. I haven't spoken with him in a while, so I didn't know about the turntable. The last time I was at his house he still had a Rega Planar 2.5 for a turntable. I'm not much for analog, but that thing could really bring it.

I don't know about how much time he has these days. A mutual friend said he's got himself a woman that takes up all of his spare time now. Pu$$y will do that...:rolf
