I am the Credit and Treasury Manager for the largest public safety supplier in the country. We sell everything that you see on or around a police officer, corrections officer, security guard, fireman or paramedic except guns and ammunition.

I spend a good portion of my day detecting and preventing Internet fraud.

I saw some of that 9ft tall stuff one time.we had to use limb loppers to top it.wasnt any fun to cut it spear it or hang it.a stick of it had to weight 125lbs. At one time my uncle borrowed my dads tanaka weedeater and put a skilsaw blade on it to cut it.:laugh:
 
I am a field Technician for The Maine Department of Transportation. I started my career working in a road maintainace camp Plowing snow on the interstate system in Central Maine in the winter and hauling sand gravel and hot top in the summer. I did this for 13 years.
Now I work on the road all day every day all alone. I investigate accident damage to state property, ie - road signs, road surfaces, light poles and Guardrail. I estimate the cost of repair and send out the bills to the persons involved in the wrecks. This I do year round but also in the summer I run a Guardrail / Fence repair crew fixing what is damaged and installing new systems on the roadways.
I have also been a Leather worker at a local Tannery ,Fork lift operator, A Saw Filer in a large lumber mill, And more recently ( 8 years) a underwater bridge inspector for the M.D.O.T. dive team reporting to the N.T.S.B. inspecting Bridges , Culverts, & Ferry Terminals here in Maine.
 
Retired now, been a logger, welder, machinist, Im sure every body has got their grocerys in Duro bags at some time, I spent 18 years with them in the machine shop.
Oh yeah, been a beaver trapper too.

You are old. When you trapped beavers, was that when you guided with Lewis and Clark? ;)
 
I'm the director of aviation ministries for a Baptist mission. I oversee our missionary pilots in various places around the world. Do recruitment, training, logistical support, aircraft repairs and modifications and whatever else it takes to help them carry out their ministries. In the past I worked as a charter pilot in various places including Alaska, Louisiana and Michigan and flew as a missionary pilot in Timbuktu, New Guinea, Brazil (Amazon), and other popular retirement locations. I do mechanical work on a variety of things and some construction here and there as well. Chainsaws are a hobby although we do have a tree service we operate on a very limited basis.
 
I knew Ted was a weeny!

I am considered to be the leading expert in electronic navigation for the US Navy. I install, repair and mostly train US Navy sailors how to navigate ships of every size and flavor using computers, like Google maps for a ship, all designed to drive the ship without touching the wheel. I'm a retired Submarine sailor of 24 years. Sell aftermarket chainsaw parts as most know me by. I flip saws on the side as an excuse to drink beer and I help my wife run one of the largest interior design businesses in the greater tidewater area of Virginia.

I can't remember what I ate for lunch most days!
 
I've been retired 5 years come April. It is by far the best gig I have ever had.:havingarest:

In the Summer we play 18 holes of golf everyday, (walking). Generally get in 110-160 rounds /year.

I also have an orchard that is getting renovated with 320 new trees, am a licensed chemical applicator with small business doing the same, cut fair amount of firewood for sale, serious 9 ball player, run a skid steer plowing snow and recently volunteering in a saw shop learning to be a mechanic.

Working was never this busy. I make it a point to never do anything I don't want to do.:happy:
