Kevin - sorry about the job hunt. I recommend 'Bag Balm' - comes in a green tin - for your eczema. I agree with biL, and recommend prayer for the job hunt.
Gary - we're now past the global peak of petroleum discovery and production. Not even deregulation can reverse the law of nature, that we're tapping out a non-renewable resource. Sucking it out of the ground at a faster rate isn't going to help in the long run. (Apologies to Kevin for the non-rr intrusion into your thread)
That said, perhaps a 'green job' is what you need? Also, and I'm deadly serious about this, a move away from the desert Southwest and the forthcoming issue of water scarcity could be in your future. Sorry to go all doomer on you.
Now your enginehouse, that's a work of art! Nicely done. And bonus points for ripping down lumber from paint stirs! The low budget metal siding works great.

Quote:Any thoughts on moving somewhere else? Changing careers? The economy is actually still good here in Houston. Of course, with the possibility of new over-reaching regualtions, the oil industry (which is the basis of Houston's economy) may very well cease to exist, and Houston will die a slow and painful death. So much for overcoming our dependence on foriegn oil.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
