I've all but given up on adult. Been taking odd jobs doing design and computer tech work but really I'm looking for something else to do.

You have a hobby you love - why not a kayak rental / adventure tour business?

Everyone that I know that has ever tried to make a living doing that has ended up broke, even when the economy was doing well.

Actually it isn't just the adult biz that is hurting. Just about all the business owners that I talk to are hurting. Christy has lost almost all her clients due to them not being able to afford tutoring services anymore.

We were at Dixie Divers last evening taking their free Meetup free diving course and I've never seen them so willing to deeply discount everything in the store or seen the store with so much stock. My guess is they are really stocked because stuff isn't selling which is also way they are willing to give really deep discounts. It really sucks that we don't have money to burn on dive equipment right now.
