Another QP from this site mulled over the skydiving business thing a few years ago.
Page might not be a bad place for semi-retirement if the individual has the right skill sets.

Forgot to add that the gun range (pistol and rifle) is 10 minutes away from the furthest point in town, 5 minutes from the nearest.
Private range, membership is ~$35 year for the whole family, usage is light, and hours are wide open (generally unmanned).

The thought has crossed my mind. However, the wisdom imparted to me by the first dive shop owner for whom I worked keeps running around in my mind:
"Do you know how you make a small fortune in the dive business? First, start with a large fortune..."
He also said this pearl of wisdom, as we drove back to the DTC section of Denver from a particularly trying open water certification at Woodmore Lake in Colorado Springs:
"Why would ANYone want to own a dive shop in Denver, Colorado?" Within two weeks, his share was sold, and he was in Florida!
