    Well for one, I don't have regular hours as I wholesale my work,
    work for myself and everything is mostly one of a kind. These days, I
    make less, out of more expensive materials, and charge more. What its
    worth actually. But how do I do it....? Hey....why do you think I had
    a kid? Free labor! He's 20 now....still lives at home while he's in
    college. We split the chores. He hates the goats, but loves the rest
    of the brood. Plus, its one feeding in the morning, one in the
    evening, and the clean up isn't bad at all. Seems like your parents
    had the same idea ;-). I guess we have entered an era where daily
    chores seem unusual and taxing. I like being busy. However, people
    do ask me all the time how I can be 50 years old and weigh only 100
    lbs....lol.
