			GOB, 
Our part of the country, Gulf Coast, has been hit pretty hard, most would not realize it, but we have a lot of folks out of work. Luckily, March starts the first of our busy season with Spring Break. Right now in our area there are quite a few help wanted signs. The jobs might not be great, but at our age, we learned a long time ago that honest work is honorable work. So hit up some places that are looking for folks. If you know construction and are a problem solver, which I think you are, a hardware retailer is probably looking for you right now. 90% of them do not have anyone that knows diddly about which end of a hammer does what. It is where age and experience are truly beneficial. 
 
When I owned a hardware store, I wanted experienced problem solvers on my floor, not youngsters the did not know crap from Crisco. 
 
I wish you the best, just keep your chin up guy.
