LOL wolf, but I didn't answer the question.

I have my honey pay the power and cable bill with her unemployment check. Then I use the money I would have spent on that to buy kite stuff. So I guess the Taxpayers pay for my kites.

But that wasn't enough, so I became a man#@%$#!. Took me six months to buy a Hydra. You know with the economy and things.

Well guess what? Most all my man#@%$#! fee's are paid for with social security checks!!! Again, the taxpayers buy my kites.

On call 365 24/7. Public Service. Pretty standard work week. Ready to sell my motorcycle to buy more kites.

The trick to getting more kites is more Coach purses and shoes for the wife. Purse....Kite I want.....Shoes....Kite she wants.....Repeat.

We eat what we grow and work lots of hours and hard. So I can have a little money to blow on kiting stuff. We also generaly live a very layed back life. I think our biggest expence is the Taxes on the homestead. Other than that no tv, cable or that stuff, Yes computer can't claim that one!! Lots of vacations that cost little to no money. Hiking in the mountains for a week. Wow we are cool people :wow: :smilegrin:

It's great to see how much humor some of you guys can bring to a thread sometimes. For pretty much all money brought into our household I am an Electrician with 5 years residntial experience and three years industrial experience at a heavy oil upgrader. After that I am mostly a devoted father and husband only allowed out when the wife lets me lol. I have two very energetic boys and by the way things look a daughter on the way, so any kiting time is a blessing. I've been lucky enough to pick up odd side electrical jobs and sell some things to afford kiting. I recently bought a 1.5m ozone imp so that my oldest can join in the fun; which, hopefully will give me more tickets to go out and fly since I hope he loves it as much as I do. If I'm not doing any of that I can usually be found at my parents helping them with their was petting zoo now officially zoo consisting of but not limited to lions, bear, wolves, snakes, alligator and crocodile, and many farm animals. That's me in a nutshell anyway.
