There are a barrel full of guys that have gone missing in the last few years. I just hope some of my kidding around wasn't the reason.

I prefer to think that they're all so busy counting all the money they've made from ADC work, they don't have time for us.

I certainly always hope that nothing serious has happened. I like to reserve hospital visits for myself. I have a thing for nurses.

I'm here!
I got a regular job at a local steel mill (I will get some ADC work from them and fellow workers now too). Wifey was too worried about the startup inconsistencies.
I kept telling her it takes time and money to get a business going full time. Didn't want to here it anymore!
It is tough at first, as you all know. Money does not flow in your favor.
I'm still doing it, however, when I can.
Now she's a little happier with a steady flow (income). Happy wife.......
So by the time I get home from the mill I usually gotta call people back to set up appointments, make dinner, feed the dog, shovel dog poo, cut grass, massage her feet (not) and normal household dad/husband duties, I haven't had time to post.

My oldest son is coming home from WVU for good soon and I'm going to let him take some of the reigns.
My younger boy has a girlfriend and new drivers license so he's not much assistance anymore.

No Paul it's not you! I lmao reading your witty remarks! No hospital visits needed yet either (thank God).

Thanks for wondering Kirk! Just here in the shadows, at times.

Hi Dalton! BTW, I thought the card looked cool!

Y'all are great bunch of guys and gals and I'm not going anywhere.

If there one thing I understand its the wifey concerns. For someone who owns 50% of the business, she does none of the work. But I suppose 50% of -$700 thus far, is -$350. So she has lived up to negative work haha.

How was the first "real" job

My wife does twice as much work for the business as I do. But I had to fall off of a lot of ladders to make that happen!

Like the last ones....just a job. Nickel plating steel coils used for battery cans, like Energizers and Duracells. Don't even get a discount for my flashlights, headlamps, trail cams, etc.
Other coils are plated for Harley gas tanks and fuel lines, Ford stuff too. So actually some things are still made in U.S.

Mike after 25+ years I'm still whipped! I do hear ya though.

I almost followed 2Poors advise, I bought AESTraps.com, got my wife a second job, she designed the website, but, it turned into a second job for me too!

I thought we were communixating, but as typical, I was wrong. My wife was ticked when I quit my regular job. She got over it quickly.
