The good news - I've now got much more time to spend in the shop! The
bad news - I've got much less money to spend on tools, supplies, and
materials.

Sorry to hear; I can relate on a very personal and immediate level.

This economy sucks (in more ways than one)

But then maybe you're just being freed up for a better job!
And... more time to spend with your kids!
Keep looking on the brighter side.

Blue skies... especially if you're anywhere near Isabel's storm track (I
