It's very tough. I think as the father we are always going to be missing out on some because it's our duty and obligation to provide for our families. It's a very difficult balance to get for sure. I'll keep you in my prayers that you can get to a point where you are happier with it. You know the speed they grow up is amazing, and unnerving lol. Raising tiny adults is hard. Are you in a position where you can start your own business? This has increased my time with my kids from before. My business is just going into a transition at this point.  

 Thank you! I wouldn't say it would be impossible for me to start a business, but I don't have any particular expertise in a product or service area that I can think of providing. I was an aircraft mechanic in the military and just started working in government contract compliance as a civilian with a lot to learn. 

 are you following @Bitcoin Veterans or in their Signal chat? I've seen them asking about bird patchers a few times in some of their threads 

 Yes sir! You gave me the intro some time ago. 

 Awesome sorry my memory isn't the best lol
