Some of my favorites are:

Mobile car wash. Though, I would expand it out into cleaning the interior, as well. Possibly even adding mobile oil change to it.

Selling cold water at outdoor festivals and busy vacation destinations. I'd be tempted to find any event (indoor or outdoor) that I could sell at and add soft drinks and snack foods to the mix.

Design and build water features. This would likely be a lot of work but it could also be quite fun.

Selling arbitrage. Basically you are buying items or services at a low price and then reselling them for a profit. I liked this idea because it didn't particularly demand any huge amount of skill (depending on the products you pick to resell) and there is usually an already preexisting market for what would be resold. I actually wrote a book on service arbitrage called Service Arbitrage: How to Use Other People's Talent to Make Money From Home.

Be an odd job aficionado. Interesting mostly for the sake of always having something new to do and getting experience in a lot of different areas.

Rent out a room. While I'm not sure how I would feel having a complete stranger in my house, I think if you rented out your backyard to campers or an empty shed, it could work just as well.
