Wow, mind blown, second thing I've learned in my first 5 minutes on tonights TMF stop...
First cs:go and now luthier which is for those who don't know: a maker of stringed instruments such as violins or guitars.
I actually started cleaning so I could spend more time on learning to make and repair instruments.
Today was a good day for both things, I had all kinds of people in and out of the house fixing a broken sewer line. Scheduled 2 carpet jobs, and got an order for a guitar.

I guess my hobby for years was spending time with my son. In 2004 I took him to Yugioh The Movie at a theator. We each got a Movie Pack and that got us hooked. We learned the game together and went to our local game store every Saturday and stayed till they closed. Soon we started going to Regional Events, then Nationals. We traveled all over the US. We rented a Suburban and packed it with his friends for the weekend.
One year we went to an event in California which turned out to be the Guniess World Record for the largest attendance at an organized card game tournament.
Then a couple years ago he got his own car and started taking his friends on his own.
Over the years we bought collections and sold the cards individually and started making money. He got the hang of it and soon my ebay account was turned over to him. A couple years ago he got connected to a distributor (very difficult to do if you dont have a brick and mortor store). I have been able to use what business skills I have learned over the years (thank you Mack Clark) to coach him. Last year he did over $650,000 in sales and bought a house. Not bad for 24 years old.
He still has his office in our house so we still get to talk business every day. It was a great run but I have not been able to find something to replace it with yet.

A neighbor had a few and one got out and started making noise outside our bedroom window one morning just as my wife and I were enjoying some intimate time... Talk about mood killer...

Me and the wife and daughter do a lot of target shooting. I fill in for pastors in my area on Sundays preaching the word and I collect Case pocket knives. We also help an animal rescue. That's about all the time we have for fun.
