Retired now, did work in QA/QC for 30 plus years for defense contractors. Did everything including inspection, paperwork, and pissing off upper management. My unofficial title up in the front end was "Insensitive Prick". I was good at my job!

Well ive worn many hats over the years , started out going to motorcycle mechanics school the worked in a number of shops over the years building /repairing motorcycles had a lot of fun but never made any real money working on bikes , owned a boatyard / yacht service co. For like 20 years and also was a commercial fisherman for a number of years . At present i own a bird abatement co. Where we use trained peregrine falcons to scare off / kill seagulls from landfills and airports .

Sounds like a good hustle, no parts or suppliers from China to sweat, and no effect from the Scamdemic. Sounds like you got it made....
Best Wishes....RooDog....
