True Occupation

Let's see. . . 6 years in retailing, the past 25 years in ag & commercial finance with a part time Muzzleloading Gun business in my basement
( past 20 yrs.) I was fortunate enough to get gas & maintenance money for the cub by "pick'en & grin'en" on weekends. Did that for 30+ yrs. Stoped as couldn't stay out all night & fly early in the morning anymore. It must be that over 50 thing.
 
Software developer...though it sucks to be indoors all day, so I'm seeking out new livelyhood. I'm considering either ninja or jedi.
 
5 years electronics hardware designer
7 years software designer
14 years Iron and Steel foundry manager / owner
 
I'm one of those high-level computer geeks right now but I am seriously entertaining the idea of getting my A&P and working on cubs and other taildraggers at some point in the future.

Wup :crazyeyes:
 
Got my pilot ratings in the 60's after highschool.

Flight Instructed and worked as a carpenter to keep the wolf away.

Flew Piper Pawnees and Cessna Agtrucks in the 70's.

Operated my own construction company late 70,s earley 80's.

Operated a big game hunting outfitting business for 10 years, hunting elk in central Idaho. (this was great but tried to make a small fortune out of a larger one.)

Now I am a building inspector doing code compliance inspections.

Like to design, build and fly airplanes both big and little. I have an experimental version of an Alaska Bushmaster that I built and fly. Also enjoy the models.
 
I don't want to sound like a patronizing SOB, but you guys might want to racall that anything you reveal about yourselves in an open forum makes you that much more vulnerable. And, yes, I am pathalogically paranoid. But keep in mind that you're not just posting for decent SC fans: Anyone with internet access can read what you write here.

Just a caring reality check, mates. Take it for what's it's worth.
