Dennis, Arrange for your workplace to close its doors, as happened to me last week, but if yor married dont tell the Mrs. right away. That will by some time. Then go apply for unemployment and wait. Guess what you can do for 6 weeks while waiting for the first check. Not a brilliant plan but it's mine and working.
My flying buddy just works on his planes about 2 hrs every other night religiously and seems to get enough plane built and flys only one weekend day per week. He is happy with that.
Good Luck, Jerry
