Well interview went well, office position with 1 hour commute. Received another offer from where I work part-time. 5 minute commute but 50% pay cut. It would be an simpler job but with the cost of living I'm not sure. It is nice to have options so I'll have some thinking to do.

I have two ponds on my property I'd say both combined equal an acre. Sadly have not touched them due to budget so they are covered in duck weed. But 1000's of small fish, like minnows, saw a couple of small catfish, turtles and frogs for days. We get geese, ducks and heron every day. And plenty...

Good advice, appreciate your input.

Agreed, Always put in the effort to protect myself. This one is legit but doesn't mean it's a job I want, we will see how this interview goes...

Received a message on LinkedIn yesterday. "A hiring manager think you should apply for this job" So I check it out. Sales manager position for a large sign company. I submit an unedited resume and message the President of the company in case it's a scam. He messages me back, stating he did not...

Might be best to buy an old one and renovate?

Don't think I'll be recreating the wheel. Agree with @crankcall almost every market is saturated. Just trying to hypothetically discuss options without going down rabbit holes.

Agreed, that's probably the biggest factor in my hesitation. I deal with it already with my current position. Too many fish, not enough pond...

I'll just skip out back to the money tree. 😂 While I agree many partnerships fail, in a fantasy land where my money tree grows, it would be nice to share the experience. Just talking things through.

Good points. Thanks all. Moving on from the partner subject. Let get back on track. Has anyone actually done a significant career? In hindsight what would you do differently?

Been working alone for 15 years, this is part of what I'd like to change.

I thought the rusty propane tank in the background was the exhaust...

Yes, I'm not worried about this.

I was being sarcastic, no idea what I would do. At my age I don't have many "do overs" so planning is key. What I do know is I would have to minimize risk and financial burden, somit would start as a side hustle or part-time job. Just no clue what to do?

I'd like to start something with a partner. Any idea? I have about 60k in loc's unused for emergency use only. I have enough equipment to start a lawn care business, but lack the truck and trailer...lol

Agreed, I'll take any weather I don't have to shovel.

I've been in industrial automation sales/management (vacuum, pneumatics) for most of my career. Always enjoyed the challenge. Last year I suddenly lost my job due to the US company pulling Canadian operations. Found another job and it's going ok, but no where near where it should be sales wise...

Couple of points. Typically the septic system is pumped out and inspected, this is a typical condition of sale. If current owners have lawn care, snow removal equipment you can request purchase of it with home. Of course ensure you want it and in good condition. Water test is typically done...

Scored a good deal on a helmet and wanted to share the experience?

I'm on 5 acres. On well water, septic and propane. My driveway is almost 1km from end to end. It's gravel. Got a uv filter, water softener and r/o for drinking water. Got a tractor with plow and snow blower for driveway. Looking into a zero turn for a 2nd grass cutter. Power goes out less here...
