    A little something every chance we get.

    I'm still on this page, but here's a thought. Certify as a Drone Pilot (FAA), and you can do surveying for home, real estate, solar, drive your truck. When the nice young kid came and did our house, we pestered him a lot! He invested about $2K in his drone and software/cameras -wants better, but it works. He was at the Alcoa plant doing tech maintenance for about 4 years, got laid off, and was out earning money within a month of getting his cards made and some contacts out. He said highest paid gig was doing a wedding in the hill country. Oh, he had a nice new Silverado, because he could afford a better vehicle!

    I have seriously considered it. Just wasn't in a rush this last year. Now that it's 2019, and my funds are much more controlled! But, if I am careful about earning, won't pay crap for taxes, so..... it's a we'll see. I will say he enjoyed it, pretty much set his schedule because he was always booked, and got enough repeat customers to be able to "control" the location pretty well. If I recall, we were on a Bastrop, Lockhart, Hays Co. day.

    Hey man! If no one has been interested in the compressor, shoot me a pic, and I will take it. Or more correctly, could pick up at C&C or make other arrangement! Not in a rush.

    Well,, OK then. You already have plenty advice. You should arm your self with NOT being the leaving person until you want to.

    Also available... $20 will transfer a set of Rhino Ramps from my truck to yours at C&C. I bought them back when I had my 'vette, and they are as useful to me now as teats on a boar. I'm not dragging them down to take actual pics, but they look like the pic below. Used once, probably not twice.

    SOLD!!!!!

    DEAL! I meant compressor gone, not you! Even I'm not on 24 / 7, though it seems like it sometimes.
