Too bad....your background sounds ideal!Really wish I could do it.
Electronics major in school, years as a mechanic, 8 years in the hobby market and using the hobby mills every day.
And I like to talk to people just for fun. Most the people in this field are the best. The things people do and make is fascinating.
Too bad I I don't live near by.
I love California,just not the government. The regulations on business is a killer. It seems like I spend more time with government requirements than farming.
