What's your occupation

I'm the head Dumb-ass :anon , in charge of the Dumb-ass department :-? , for a very miniature Large business that specializes in Dumb-ass stuff for Dumb-asses! :drinking: :roll: :drinking:
 
I sit in a chair for "no more than" 8 hours per day during my 14 hour duty day. The rest of my day is spent bent over flinging all manner of big, little, usually heavy and bulky things in and out of the Beaver, 206 or Cub that I happen to be flying that day, on floats or wheels or skis; and when the weather is crappy and the "weekend warrior" isn't flying and I kinda wish I wasn't and probably shouldn't be flying it doesn't mean I'm parked--it just means I get the dubious pleasure of flying all the live long day around fog, rain/snow, in high and gusty winds in and out of off airport locations in Alaska.
I have no traditional retirement plan nor do I have benefits; but I have the supreme pleasure of getting paid to do exactly what I want to be doing (most of the time...:)) and doing it in my Favorite Place in the World...Home.

I'm heading south where it's warm for a few weeks to let things freeze up here so I can fly skis.

You must know Gordon Misch then.
Now Perry, Perry - just because you're sick of spending every waking moment trying to keep that blankety-blank Ford running, doesn't mean you should take it out on friends and transform them into former friends. Maybe you need Jack Nicholson's anger management course?

Oh wait, now I think I understand. Your remark was a compliment wasn't it? Sorry ol' buddy!!!!!!!!!!! And good luck with the Ford - - - 8)
 
Actually that was just a test to see if you were still lurking about. Plus it was one of those perfect opportunities that I just couldn't pass up.
P.S. I am a little ticked about one of the Fords right now. It has a cracked exhaust manifold and its going to be a pain to fix. Looks like I have to pull the wheel well liner and jack that side of the engine up to get it. I was seriously considering trading it in as-is for a newer (2013) used truck. When my wife saw the ante up amount, she advised me I would be fixing it and keeping it. I certainly can't afford the ante up for a newer wife so I guess I have to fix it. Also both of our boys now have their drivers licenses, so State Farm has the majority of my discretionary cash.

Been leaving my dna on old airplanes as an A&P IA since 1976 and most times getting paid for it. Flying my own airplanes for fun since 1973.

Milked cows for 5 years as a teenager to learn to fly (with lots of help from great mentors) at an awesome glider club in Springfield, VT. Then BT in Aviation with summers as A&P apprentice, A&P, part time CFIG, full time CFIG/tow pilot, full time CFIA/II. Short stint in Bolivia as pilot for a new medical mission aviation program. Back to the states as A&P/IA until my wife finished school, then A&P/IA for a mission aviation group in Bolivia, Guyana and Chattanooga, TN.

Started a 501(c)3 two years ago to reach the poorest in the Bolivian Andes with a free medical mission aviation program. Currently living in Cochabamba Bolivia, leading groups of volunteer medical personnel on foot into remote villages to offer medical services to the indigenous subsistence farmers/shepherds.
