David, aren't you retired military so you have health insurance and some income coming in?? If so then go for it, life is too short to work at a job that you don't enjoy for very long especially if you don't have too.
Start putting the word out that you and your gear are available. I bet you will find a few jobs right off, maybe you can take some leave without pay so the odd jobs won't eat into family time. Before you know it word will be out and you can be busy as you want. Take a look at what Eddie is doing with facebook, that would work for what you want to do.
I had several people approach me needing work done when I was in oregon and I am sure you will find the same or more back east.
And when you have to work on a crumby day or deal with a grump you can just smile and think how much fun your having NOT driving 4 hours a day. Your girls are old enuff they will be able to help on some jobs and make themselves a little cash and get the experience of working alongside their Dad.
**** if I wasn't hopelessly addicted to fishing I would have to try it, it sounds like fun!
