I'll be 59 October 3rd.
If I can't fix it with the equipment I already
have, I'll just pass on it.
There is no way to invest in expensive equipment
now.
History has shown that 99% of the instruments go
unused anyway.
I have just under 4 years 'till I can start drawing
my social insercurity check.
I'll still have to work, and there is little chance
I'll make enough to kill the check.
