I like your style Dude. Brian.

I like your style Dude. Brian. I was once a dentist. It is an honorable profession but I became bored with it. Now I'm a sporting man.

Oil and Gas drilling and completions mostly in 3rd world countries,been in Africa last 8 years. Then watch them screw up the wells, then come back and fix them again and again. Only thing that offsets the boredom is the great hunting.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

I am a Journeyman Tool & Die Maker, I have also worked in the gunsmithing department of one of the major firearms manufacturers. I picked up an Associates Degree in Gunsmithing and became a Journeyman Gunsmith while there. I've also owned my own gun shop and gunsmithing business. Nowadays gunsmithnig is just a hobby, I enjoy working on my own guns and building custom reloading equipment. I am looking forward to retirement in '014, will move to the country and become a hunting & fishing bum.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

My job doesn't really have a title.
I get equipment fixed. Any intermodal equipment we own or lease that isn't currently in one of our shops and is damaged - I locate a local vendor and get it repaired. Usually means arguing over how and how much as a lot of companies don't do things the way we do. Then work and reconcile those repairs with the various rail roads that caused the damages.
12,600 containers on a like number of chassis. I also "consult" on tractor repairs and specifications/purchasing.
All of it within a budget and an eye on trends so we can be proactive on things.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
