Computer nerd for the State.
Job is boring and unrewarding.

Sales for a polyurethane coatings developer and distributor – ArmorThane Coatings, Inc. www.armorthane.com. We manufacture the equipment and chemical to do spray-in pick-up truck bedliners. Our first UK Dealer in Bromsgrove Worcestershire just opened and started spraying a couple months ago. I tried to get my boss to send me over to do the training; instead I sent a list of needed rover parts with our Training Tech.

Best part of the job is coming up the first part of November. We attend and have a large display at the annual SEMA show in Vegas. An automotive enthusiasts candy store.

Spent 7 years in Merchant Marines, but it seems odd to call something that much fun Work. Next 30 years in a Steel foundry, started on the floor, ended up President. Now I fund Colin S's rover projects, and pick up and put away all the tools he uses. Together, he and I can break what isn't, and fix what's broke. He's pretty smart, ain;t genetics Great! I hope he keeps his planes in better shape than his room, but if he maintains them like his rovers, I'll still fly with him.

Default I work for my wife.

As she as found a secret to keep me out employed with numerous entreprenuerial undertakings (Real Estate Development and a VERY small web hosting business) and day jobs (Sales Director at a Financial Markets Decision Support Software company) to support her independent moviemaking, babysitting, daycare, yoga, nutritionist, chiropractor and god knows what else crap she seems to find a way of spending money on.

That is why I am on these boards figuring out how to fix all this shit on a Rover myself in what little free time I have.

My daughter is one cool 19 month old though. It is good to see a smile on her face constantly.

Cool Real life blows. Let's go wheelin'

I'm a construction supervisor for a natural gas utility in Arkansas, USA. Not a bad job, always outside, riding pipeline ROW's in trucks or quads, and watching other people do what I did for 25 years to earn this ride on the gravy train, and I make sure all my men are riding with me. Always watch whose toes you stomp on your way up, they'll be attached to the ass you kiss on your way back down.


P.S. DblD: white 109, canvas top, cool locker in hub?? That you? We've wheeled before in Hot Springs.

Yep, that’s me.
I was having carb troubles when I was down there and the engine wanted to race a bit. I still have the photos you e-mailed me last year. Check out the “Midwest Events” section of this forum, I’m trying to get a few folks together in October for camping and trail riding.
