Well, I guess this is a good spot to make an announcement.

Guys, I changed jobs last week. I still have my shop and still do some work, some work.... by appointment only.

I got hired on by Republic Services to manage two shops for them. I'm now over a fleet of about 60 vehicles (trucks, pup trailers and pickups). The job is intense but I'm enjoying it. After 13 years of running a business it's a little different. It's a completely different stress load in that it's mine to manage, but it's not MINE. I get paid no matter what. No money to collect, no line of customers, just one company to keep happy. I enjoy the fact that I spend most of the day in an office in front of a PC and on the phone. I go out and help my guys, but I don't even have a toolbox in the building, (in other words I'm not expected to wrench). That's how it's supposed to be in life.... work hard so that someday you get paid well for what you now know but don't have to work so hard. (At least not physically. My brain is on overload. :biggrin2: )

Good luck with the new job :beerchug:

Congrats Jonathon!! I'm glad to hear that! :beerchug:

Congrats on the new job, Jonathan.
Used to bend wrenches 'til I blew out a rotator cuff, never went back to it after surgery. Stayed home with both kids until they were old enough for school, did a few jobs in my own shop. Now I run an old school parts store, with nuts and bolts in bins and drawers and drawers of Dorman stuff. I have all the weird stuff the big guys won't carry. Paint, sandpaper, truck lights, hydraulic fittings, brass fittings, and make AC and hydraulic hoses. Bearings on the shelf to fit just about anything.
Walk into any of the parts stores around town with a part in your hand, and they send you to my store.
