hanco; Threads such as these are always interesting reading so thanks for starting it.
After working on a Saskatchewan farm for a bit, I went from house construction into working for a cabinet manufacturing plant for 27 years filling most positions including operations manager at the end of it's life.
For a short break in the middle I worked making fire fighting equipment that was mounted on helicopters - which was a fun year until that stopped and I went back into cabinets.
Anyway the last two years and a bit I've been working for a construction/development company doing the general repair and millwright work on the factory equipment, vehicles or doing whatever needs doing that day on one of the job sites.
Thanks again for the thread and all the best to you all in the upcoming hunting season.

Just a brain fart I had. A friend called me today with a problem. Sent him some parts. He is an AC repair guy, so he is pretty handy with tools. I would have gone over there, but am down for a little longer with broken ankle. He got it repaired. He comes running when one of my units go down. I have an Electrician friend that helps me too. We three helped each other build our houses. Saved a few bucks. Nice to have friends like that.

Spent 55 years in the hunting, fishing and sporting goods business, now retired and broke. Just hang around the Campfire 3-4 hours a day. Shoot trap and skeet on weekends. Pretty lazy really.

Lets start over and talk about something you know about, like Mexican food.

Going back 50 years...carpenter helper, concrete high rise construction carpenter/form builder, US Army, underground low vein (<36") coal miner, certified coal mine electrician, traveling electrical service technician for mine power distribution (underground, surface and prep plant) repair and commissioning, industrial and electrical utility sales currently concentrating in renewable energy (wind and solar) throughout the US and overseas. Also was a welder when needed. Most of my jobs were hard (as other people's) but they made me a better person.
