      I appreciate the kind words.

      My wife is WFH. I’ve been working on building a manufacturing consulting and CNC programming business. Want to buy a small mill, can probably make good money just picking up odd jobs. These days I call myself a manufacturing consultant, but I’m really just an aerospace machinist.

      We’ve literally been planning this move since 2020 when everyone around us lost their fucking minds. We’re hoping we have enough saved to get a mortgage on a small play farm.
