Something wrong with my Dakota

I can relate to a certain extent but don't near deal with what you do. I fell 20' off a roof back in 2012, shattered my right (dominant) wrist, fractured my neck, busted teeth out, etc. I had some lower back aches before that but I think the fall made it worse, my wrist doesn't, and probably won't ever, have the strength it had and weather can make it give me more trouble. I turned 23 in January and I'm afraid I'm gonna get old physically before most people due to my accident but I'm gonna do everything I can while I can! I've got a far better wife than I deserve, I enjoy my job (owner/operator of a poultry farm) and since I basically work at home I have time to do stuff with my wife or work on my Duster, etc. "Life's a garden, dig it!" Lol

That's where I'm trying to get in life, myself. Somewhere that I have time, and yet do what I love for a living. I'd also like to make sure my dad is set for life and can retire comfortably without worry... Jeez, I rarely realize that my dad is getting older and will be at retirement age in just a few years. I try not to think about it, because I don't know what I'd do if I lost my dad (and once he retires that means he has maybe 20 years left on earth, if he's lucky)

I think that's why I work so hard. I'm trying to pave a way that will set me up for life and also make sure my parents have everything they need. I've been trying to turn my dad's modest repair shop into a full blown custom shop. When I take it over 100%, it'll be 3 generations in the family, having been started by my grandfather. I want to take it to the next level and provide paint jobs and all manner of wild custom work (like some of my own vehicles mentioned in this thread)
