He actually does nothing a lot of us do. Chickens, garden, firewood, and go to work 40 hours a week to get a reliable salary and retirement and money for the extras like snow mobiles, boats, motorhomes and eat at nice restaurants when we desire. Wait, scratch the part about he works 40 hours a week and the part about a reliable salary and all the other things. He only survives through the kindness of strangers and then old pop came out of retirement to be able to support trogs growing family.
