I work for my Dad at his feed store Outlaw Hay And Grain. Buckin hay all day is hard work but it keeps me in shape.
What do you do for a living?

Not P.C.
Work in a saw mill. I'm a wood butcher. 988 brings logs, 10' to 52' to my bucksaw and I cut them into what we need/can use. We cut Douglas fir 2"x4" up to 2"x14". The longest we make is 28'. Lumber market hasn't been real good the last couple years, nor does it look to pick up in the near future. Buy lumber now it's cheap.
Bucking hay, man I love doing that. We used to have a 2 wk shutdown in the summer to install new equipment. It was usually around haying time. So, that's what I did. HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION. (Was that Cheech & Chong?) Last few years only do 15-20 ton helping a couple small hobby farms. But it's still fun.

I work at a small Body/Resto shop. Right now we have 6 Muscle Cars in various stages of restoration and another 6 on the waiting list.

Yup, I can still count to 10!
The stress though took its toll, just trying to keep a bunch of adolescents from removing various body parts gave me gray hair and high blood pressure.
The best thing about retiring though is not having the hour-long commute each way in bumper-to-bumber traffic! That is the killer.

That is good. None of my shop teachers ever had all of there fingers.
Letting a bunch of 8th graders use a ban saw is not one of the schools best moves. LOL

That is about the same with me. Hay sales are down about 40% but were still doing ok. Here is hoping things will turn around soon. Good luck.
