Mid life crisis? Oh boy. Its a year old thread that Monza dude found. Car shows are to display your wealth, primarily. As you guys pointed out it is a place you can gauge your standing among your peers. What they remind me of is I make a little more than half what I should. Thats my fault. Sometimes I find myself in ridiculous situations because of it. For example, I am down to one unguarded ten year old cutoff tool and use it for everything. But I am treated like some top notch metal guy which I ain't. Somebody told me to read up on King Solomon and I did, and that helped me understand what I feel but I still question if doing what I do is a noble pursuit, and doubt that it is. But I get to eat and have somewhere to go each day.
Being this old is wierd and I should know better now than to ask younger people for answers to things like this. Pretty much any question I post anywhere can't be understood by anyone and I am learning it is best to just keep one's mouth shut and work.
Since I made the original post, my name has been mentioned in three magazines for my metal work. That does perk me up but does nothing to prove that I'm doing the right thing. Fortunately, I exist as an individual so I can't spill my thinking on anyone who has to listen. My strangeitude will die with me at least.
