I guess that being a self-employed mechanic comes in handy at times such as now - no one to lay me off (not like THAT!
), and even though there will be somewhat of a slowdown in spending, people still want their forklifts, tractors and aircraft to run. This is definitely not a path to personal wealth, but at least the threat of financial ruin is reduced. Not trying to suck my own d**k here, but just making conversation.
It also helps that I only have my own mouth to feed, of course.
