The beach bum was an Heating and A/C tech

I met the most interesting man at the beach the other afternoon.

I entirely met him a month ago, however when I saw him again he provided me a beer, in addition to the people I was with and I sat to talk for a while.

He had his pet Max with him, in addition to told me he had spent the entire last two weeks parked in his van at the beach, just enjoying the time of year, and when the weather turned, he would go further south, find another beach, in addition to do it all over again. I asked how he funded his “endless summer” on the beach, in addition to he said that he was a certified Heating and A/C repair tech. I asked him how that worked, because I had only ever seen Heating and A/C techs in work vans, wearing proper looking uniforms. He said he didn’t do that kind of work, he had a idea to approach local general contractors who might need a little quick Heating and A/C work done off the books. He didn’t fill out applications or file tax paperwork, he did quiet Heating and A/C tasks for money, in addition to then lived off that money until the next town, where he found another contractor, and every town has Heating and A/C contractors, in addition to they all like finding someone who is skilled, certified, fully trained, in addition to willing to work for cheap. The contractors saved money, my new neighbor didn’t have to set up a bank account, in addition to the Heating and A/C work got done officially, so it was a win for everyone. He told me that he cycled back through this town once a year or so, in addition to usually worked with the same Heating and A/C contractor every time.
