This is really good stuff Gents. I sure want to thank you for taking the time to respond on how you see things. Especially those of you who have had employees and have cut back to solo and "almost" solo. Franks comment really struck a nerve with me concerning working w/his Dad. I did that also, although not electrical work, and truly enjoyed it. It is hard for me to "make" my kids enjoy this work. I guess I'm going after something that will probably never happen the way I want it to. My Dad passed away in 1979, but I still have alot of his sayings running thru my head. Anyway, it is kinda' neat knowing that even tho our bodies are starting to tell us of pains we never had before, it is good to know we are not alone in our logic for flying solo!

Thanx again,

Steve
