We really want to know what Troll does over on the other side of the ocean. I'd guess reading chainsaw specs. Steve

[jimbo1490]

Aircraft painter, part time since 1988, full time since 1991. Bought 32 acres in Central FL in 1999. 2 or 3 trees fall in a good year, then there was 2004, which got me sucked into the whole chainsaw thing. Been buying and selling them ever since. Here's some pics of recent work and when you look at the pretty airplanes remember that looking at pictures of completed jobs is all the glamor there is in airplane painting:

I’m 39 years, 11 months, 4 days old. I’m in the Coast Guard and spend most of my time in New Jersey or at sea. I want to be a script writer for ax men. I carry an old Sthil 028 super with me and have cut trees in Porto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Costa Rica, and Guatemala, as well as the US.

I took the catalytic material out to clean it. I am now trying to glue all that stuff back together and it will soon be better than new. It's a test pipe and I'm still testing...

Nope, but since this is a tree related site I thought that I should set the record straight! If I had been a teacher I would have a job....

 

[MechanicMatt]

Im a Auto Tech at a Government Motors dealership, worked for GM for 8 years know before that it was a lil Toyota and a lil Ford. Gonna turn 30 next Month and hate the fact Ive been working on Cars since I was 14 and getting paid since 17. I used to love hot rodding my Mustangs know I hate looking at engines.

 

[Saw Dr.]

P210. Yeow. Now there is a guy who has the mechanic on speed dial.

Lemme guess, they both came in for paintwork after the gear-up???

Still, there are not many sweeter sounding propeller airplanes out there. I'll probably never own an airplane. If I do, 210 is on the very short list.

 

[shelbythedog]

24 and work as a restaurant manager for one of the big, corporate chains. Yes, you have seen our commercials on TV during prime time, and probably a few out there love our biscuits. Grew up heating with wood until age 14 or so, then Dad went on a 10 year hiatus from burning. Bought my house and did one winter on propane and convinced him we both needed to heat with wood so we are back at it once again. Live in girlfriend who is still in college plus three dogs all love the wood heat, too.

[AUSSIE1]

When I lived Melbourne, in the big smoke, I worked at an Alcohol and Drug rehabilitation centre for ten years. Boy was this an eye opener! Got into all sorts of strife with the young womens (staff, not clients!). This is where I met my wife. We went bush 3 hours away and did some odd jobs till one day sitting in the waiting room at the doctors surgery a young fella sitting next to me had a school folder on logging. Three weeks later I was fully qualified as a mechanical harvester and forwarder operator and all tickets in chainsaw. Loved it but couldn't cope with all the bull#### politics that went on. Rolled various forwarders three times as the terrain was steep enough for a yarder system. Never phased me though. Used to produce up to 2500 ton a week in the pine plantations. Maybe one day I may revisit! I've just recently started my own business as a Antenna Instillation and Service Technician.

Since Mark "outed" me HERE, I'll re-post the pic in this thread. Nevermind the bad haircut, Christmas tie, or lack of my hat in public....

The diversity of the folks on AS truly amazes me. I only wish I could visit more members when on a layover. Usually I don't have ground transportation, or the time.

 

[olyeller]

Not necessarily...

Nope, but since this is a tree related site I thought that I should set the record straight! If I had been a teacher I would have a job....

If you were a teacher in California, you might have been laid off!
