SNSCaster2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 What an interesting post! I'm technically 'certified' to work on your Honda/Suzuki motorcycles through the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, but quit making paychecks out of it a few years ago when the economy started to nosedive. Today I'm employed full time as a commercial cast lead bullet maker, which is what allows me to play this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last 7 or so years I've been a Petroleum Landman. I dig through the records in the courthouse being nosey figuring out who owns what.

With this job I still feel like the hardest job for me is to raise my kids and be the dad they need:) HAHAAHA! Ever have to offer one of'em chewing gum? Long story, not very nice, and not suited to a family forum..... but one ANYONE who holds the line can relate to! BTW: Machinist, SMALL business owner, gun plumber, and former reserve LEO.

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Long time ago I was a Police Officer . Did it for 12 years and got tired of showing up at someone's house and they didn't like to see me. Now I am a self employed Plumbing and Heating contractor and have done it for 20 years. (Yes I am old) People are glad to see me when I get there now but it costs them lots more for that good feeling I will be 60 in April, still do all types of work including heavy heat boilers and like what I do. I am on the work till you die retirement program and that is just fine with me. In this economic down turn, I am still busy. Not as busy as I would like, but we eat every day, I have a little cash for shooting, and we still have indoor plumbing in a home that is all ours.
