[GearSpeedKelvo]

How do you take that kind of a schedule?
I usually arrived at 7:30am then stay until 9pm.
I just want to know from you people here.

How about 40 years.  It starts to get less and less after 40 years

Linda can shop that long...    We usually keep long hours the last couple of weeks before Speedweek.   I'm just glad no one has used the W word, but I'm sure Jon had that one blocked with Willys

When I first opened my business, I was a one man show.  For the first 18 months, I did not take one day off.  Not sundays, not holidays, not Christmas (half day).  Most days started about 6 am and ended at 9, but many were 20hrs, 4-12.  Typical workweek was 80-100 hours. 

The secret to doing this was to be married to a woman who made my life a living he11 when she was around.   Hate can move mountains. 

15 years later I work 5 days a week, maybe 40 hours, and I'm married to a wonderful lady who shares my interests.

If anyone feels to need to work ridiculous hours, I'll see if I can find the phone # of my ex-wife.

As for me, I only work half-days.

8:00 in the morning until 8:00 at night.

In my previous life i owned a pair of liquor stores....8a.m. `til midnight ( 9 p.m. on sun.) This street rod building gig is a piece of cake.

I've got it down to 5 days
But i still get people ring me and ask if I service bikes on Saturday and Sunday
Yep, 5 days, but not those two.

Jerry, your ownership of liquor stores reminds me of the old saw:

"I finally found the perfect girl -
I couldn't ask for more.
She's deaf and dumb and oversexed
And owns a liquor store."

Jon......Most people hear of my past and say  " That explains most of it"

I usually don't sit around in the shop I even do the carwash.Add the workers who doesn't even follow what you say.Yesterday monday here in the Philippines.I was doing a carwash on one of the cars who is owned by a lady.During that night I ask the worker how much did the customer gave a tip.The worker answered "she didn't gave any tip". I then texted the owner of the vehicle guess what she said "I gave 20 pesos". Right now I'm finding ways no to get too tired because saturday is a long way to go.
