Today, I Saw the Promised Land
Visited a friend's future business partner today. Behind his house he's got a 32x40 foot insulated, heated building with 14 foot ceiling and glossy epoxy floor. Pretty standard, so far. Now the good part - lining the walls were a CNC mill, valve grinder, sand blast chamber, TIG & plasma welders, various drill presses and grinders, air compressors, cylinder boring machine, band saws, hoists, tool cabinets up the wazoo, etc., etc. Everything is brand new. And, of course, a small office with satellite TV and bathroom! The guy has an S10 pickup with a twin-turbo V8 with nitrous that runs 8.0's in the 1/4!! It's streetable. Also builds go-karts. Oh yeah, and a big Harley. And this is all just a hobby. I'm still in awe. -- Curt
