I focused on building a race car with them for them to race (they were 12 to 16), and played around with daytrading and was pretty good at it. My lifestyle (besides cars) is pretty lean, so I was able to get by and clear my head, recharge the batteries! When we got working on Michaels car, and when Michael informed me this is what he wanted to do, that he did not want to go to school, I got excited again being able to teach and work with him. And doing more customs and less boring restorations helped make it easy to.
So it is probably more easy for me then others to work a lot. We never go away for any period of time, can't be out of pocket that long, but always slip some fun time into our trips. We pick up and deliver a lot of projects and always find something to do along the way, or scedule a extra day or two for a event. So we have some fun too. One of my cell phones is my business line, so I can be sitting at a hotel sometimes with my phone and laptop and do business, forums, etc. And yeah, sometimes, like this weekend, I leave that one at home!
BTW, I will know for sure Monday, but it looks like I will have a little business trip coming up in Vegas October 7 through 10. We will have to hook up! See, tieing in fun with work.

Very cool Frank. Everything happens for a reason.
Glad that you are still building cars and supplying parts and great info as well.
