Evenings and weekends.  Enough business that I was considering quitting the day job that was very high paying in the technical field of CNC machine tool control systems. Was also getting requests for mechanical repairs that I did as well, but some of those jobs were taking time that could be spent on more profitable work. Ended up hiring a guy I knew that got laid off to do the mechanical work at higher wages than he had been earning which also put cash in my pocket. Similar to an auto shop getting $150 per hour to work on your car while paying the mechanic $30 per hour to do the actual work. The dealership makes additional money that way. I know it’s tempting to keep all the pie, but keeping a few slices of it that someone else provided for you is money in the pocket as well.</blockquote>
