He has changed our scope of operations to include Voip, DSL services, structured cabling, and high end home automation services.

Doing all the things I like to do now. If I don't want to do it ..... I don't.
But I'm into so many technologies now that I've become a "one stop shop"
In new high end homes nowdays they want all the gadgets and I do them all. Anything to do with Internet, CCTV, home theater, whole house audio, TV mounting, automated lighting and remote control via IPhone/Ipad etc, etc etc. Lovin every minute of it.
I get a kick out of the kids of my clients. They see me come in and I can see the total disinterest in this "old guy" and what their parents may want. That is until I start talking their language about the hookup of their computers, the wifi networks and video games. THEN ..... I become their "best buddy" "Can you hook this game up?" "Can you make my TV split screen ?" I love it.
I don't know why I still have the grey matter to do these things that most others my age are clueless about and the good health to pursue it, but .... It's great fun.
Hope your doing well. It's good that your son took a liking to the business. I'm not so fortunate in that regard. When I go out ..... it's done. But, 47 years and counting is a pretty good run.
Take care.
