Get a transient job in lumber or pipeline or mining you can live in a mobile home. There's always a way if you are determined.
It also helps to surround yourself with close friends in various types of work. So my hunting partner does renovations some things I pay him to help that I just am not good at and other things he just helps for beer. Like I paid him to rebuild my kitchen ceiling and put new flush LED lights. To help install my patio door last year I bought him a Trail camera and his hunting licenses. The door I installed this year I also bought his hunting licenses. Also he stores all his tools at my place because he lives in an apartment and has no room for them. He has a key to my shop as well.
My Best friend I grew up with helps on car repairs if the job is big and also repairs any electronics if they broke. Since he loves machining (I helped build his shop) he will also do welding for me.
Some friends on here also keep an eye out for things at times that I am looking for and sometimes have given my son or me some gear they didn't need. I have also given away some gear that I don't need.
Point one, the reference to gaslighting is to the thread as a whole. But feel free to take it out of context. I’d expect nothing less.Quote:

Feel free to think whatever you want about who I am or what my political views maybe. Use whatever label you’d like. B1tching about the loss of freedoms, what’s wrong with this country, and lack of respect, the irony doesn’t escape some of us. Others may wish to go look up the definition of irony.
Happy Canada Day.
Totally disagree.

Maybe that 70 yr. old making the big bucks, together with pension and with all the holidays, (6 weeks is nothing, should be around 12 weeks?) is waiting to train some people so he/she can retire and go fishing?Quote:
