@very-rusty saidSuffice to say the stresses were there but stress can be a very motivating factor. In the beginning there certainly was stress but as one progressed that stress did vanish, for the most part.
And I thought I was small business!! 😉
You had a one man show going on with no employees...less stress though in many ways.

@great-big-stees saidThe stress could have been there and you just didn't feel it, so the Doctors tell me! 😉

What is it you do for a living? I was always scared to do the self employ thing.
I could do an independent contractor thing, if I actually had some business sense but that eludes me. I would rather be making up tunes on acoustic instruments and posting to Soundcloud, kind of my hobby now, but have 120 tracks there now.
But I also have my ham radio stuff. And astronomy and my studies of gravitational radiation and gravitational focus of radiation. I sunk a good bit of time into that one. All outside my cleanroom work on ion implanters, sputtering tools, ion etchers, roughing pumps, cryopumps, electron microscopes and the like.

"Only 30 dollars an hour" -- more than I ever made!
Congrats on the rehire, and especially on your longevity and fitness. 🙂

Truth doesn't insist upon modesty.

@sonhouse saidI am retired (almost 8 years now) but I was a sales agent for "a few" companies dealing in wood products and was, for a while importing some "swamp woods" from South America and Malaysia.

A wood guy. Ok. I have a question about a wood used for guitars now not available.
Brazilian rosewood. Martin guitars, my so far favorite guitar company, used to make them with BR on backs and sides. Made great sounding guitars.
So now the only BR available seems to be old stock. Any idea about the legality of BR now? Or other rosewoods that could match BR for instruments?
Also, what is 'swamp wood'? Mangrove?
@sonhouse saidA tree killer/carbon emission promoter, eh?

For shame!
You may as well hop in your massive SUV and go buy a nice juicy carbon emission producing steak to eat next.
Disgusting!
