Default Good Ol' Days?

Jim,
Please tell me your retired, right?
Nope, I design software for a bank, full time, regular hours, 2 pre-school kids and an understanding wife. I did replace the wall between my workshop and the kids playroom with a large vinyl window though.

Also do you fly very much or is building your thing?
I try to fly at least every weekend and help out the local club teaching on Wed. evenings but, with the kids coming, I'm generally limited to Sundays and special events like contests. In fact, I'm off to the big rally in Kitchener (Ontario) this weekend, the family will be camping with me (as usual).

Here's the trick.
I don't watch TV.
- Since I quit watching TV I find I can easily fit a few hours a night in.
- Winter is my real building season, I don't like flying in the winter so I build when I would have been flying. Right now I'm cleaning up the shop, hanging arcraft etc. to get ready for "the building season". I have a Waco UMF that's been almost finished for several years now and when she's done (hopefully before Christmas), I should have my plans for the Beech ready to start cutting parts.
