    Nothing ...

    Retired BUM with a government retirement check for life.
    Wife retired also from the government ... so we can play together.
    I am also in the real estate business ... part-time, which I do to add money to my 32 Ford play fund.


    After my time was up with the government job, I just play with my 32's or ride the Harley. Real estate is off right now, BUT hopefully it will pickup after the national elections, depending on who gets elected.

    Machinist/Fabricator past 10+ years. Been working for a high-end handrailing outfit for the past year. I get to go out on the road once in a while 11 states in the past year. If your ever in San Diego check out UCSD's Rady building, we did most of the interior railing and all of the exterior, and probably my favorite job. Shame it was so close to the girls softball field...

    I manage a goat ranch in East Texas. Used to be a vet tech, but this is way more fun and a lot less people to deal with.
    And if I don't like my employees, they go to the packing house!

    I used to work for a Case/ Case IH dealer as a Professional Kicking dog. I now work for the worlds largest farm, as a Professional Asshole.

    Pays a whole heck of a lot more and I get to piss people off. Tough job, but I think I'm up to the task.:D

    Only drawback is I'm up at 3am and in bed at 630pm at the very latest.........6-7 days a week.

    I am a Salesman, Instaler, Fabricator at a local Truck and SUV Shop...

    I do all those big lift kits, performance chips and annoying exhaust on those stupid deisel trucks.

    We also have a complete towing center at the shop, so I get to see some trailer queen builders who come in to have their trailers serviced so they can make it to the next big show.

    But currently I am looking for a new job, as this one is not workign out very well!

    I like working with my hands and watching something function that I just made or repaired.

    Work as a Quality Inspector :confused: at a Freightliner Truck plant. But unlike Ford, Quantity is job one. I do a lot of sheetmetal work on cars as a sideline. Sent out some resumes this week for fabricator jobs to several NASCAR teams, might be changing jobs soon.
