Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What do you do for a living?

Oh yeah, had a friend that worked at the Acoma Indian Hospital and used to stop by for lunch with her once and awhile, we lived up in Taos for awhile, my wife worked at the Taos Pueblo clinic for IHS. I do love the country, but it makes Floride feel cool in the summer!

Currently the chief cook and bottle washer and to a loving wife and family of 4 and the Safety Director for a chemical corporation. Been with them for 14 years, started in sales then became the Plant Manager for their site here in Buffalo and now this gig. Its not bad, some travel involved to our other plants and my office is at home, which is real nice. Also do a little guiding for a friend in New Mexico to help support my habit.

I'm a retired Drywall Taper. Say what you want about unions, and I've probably said it too, they do have a modest retirement plan for old burn outs like me.
I'm in school and working as a drug and alcohol counselor. This year, I'm not going back to school in the fall. My plan is to work as much as I feel like it, when I feel like it, and play in the summer and fall. I didn't maintain my Dodge truck, my Lance Camper and my Jeep just to look at them.
Right now, I'm waiting impatiently for the high country to open, which won't be until after July 4th. Then, you may well not hear from me much. E

Past
Of the "Baby Boomer Generation", I worked for a major airline carrier. I switched careers and retired from a Denver Metro Area police force in the 90s.

Currently
I own a horse boarding stables here in Ft Collins and in my spare time, I'm working on my teaching certificate. (This time I'm really learning something).

I'm a writer.

Wyowhisper,
I used to work for RF. That ol' coon still runnin' back an' forth to NYC? He used to fly out ever Monday and Back on Friday. Took all day to get back an' forth. Saw his office in NYC onct. Big view of the Statue of Liberty. One Liberty Plaza I think. He moved an' a year later that building was wiped out by the 9/11 attacks. That dude has way too much money to run a dude ranch anyhoo.

I work in the oil and gas exploration business, as a geologist. Primarily exploring for gas, in SW Wyoming.

Hello again all, especially T Lee and Need One. I moved to Grants in 1998, from Mexico, Mo., quite a switch going from the green of Missouri to the brown of New Mexico. None-the-less, the area is beautiful. As far as Grants goes, it has some really great people living here, but I cannot say too much for any of the governments running the shows here and in Cibola County. The Casey Jones restaurant was named The Station and it went under just this last year. The owners retired and I know them both well, Bud and Shirley Rieck. Really nice folks. We do have p-dogs in town, sort-of. Mostly they are out on Lobo Canyon Road going up the side of Mount Taylor. That rock stuff is lava rock and they call it El Malpais, Spanish for The Badlands. That stuff can cut a pair of sneakers off your feet in 30 minutes. El Malpais is dangerous if you don't watch what you are doing. We had a father/daughter combo that went hiking near the Tubes (huge lava caves that go for miles and miles under the lava flows) and just disappeared from the face of the earth. The state police belive the two may have gotten lost in one of the tubes and simply expired down there. Just 20 minutes out of town and I am up in the mountains (Grants is 6,500 feet elevation and Mount Taylor is 11,301 feet up there), or up in the Zuni Mountains. We've got elk, mule deer, antelope, black bear, cougar, turkey, quail and gobs of P-dogs around these parts, or near these parts. I used to travel through this area on I-40 from 1965 through 1972, when I was making trips to Vietnam and always told myself that one day I would live here. I could go on and on, but I know someone else needs the space on this thread, so I'll shut up and let someone else go for awhile. Have a nice moment!

Neat, I haven't been out there for about 4 years, Bobby moved to the Pine Ridge reservation and we came back to Fl. I do miss the PD shooting and still love the high desert, it has a beauty all it's own and like you say, the people are great. Bet the Acoma Casino is doing a land office business with the truckers!

Been out on the lave beds, and it cut up a pair of old combat boots pretty quick as well, hate to fall down on that stuff.

Curently walking the barb wire in Kosovo.

Howdy, I work as a Trainer, Quality Assurance Coordinator for an events logistic and staffing company. We do all types of events for the Auto Industry such as Sales Training, New Vehicle Launches, Fleet Management, Press Releases, Consumer Events and Dealer Drive-aways. It's a unusual job with lots of travel. Most fun is building off road courses for 4x4's and doing validation on manufacturer claims.

The latest job has us building an off road torture track for the hummer2 for consumers to test drive. I live in western Penna. and live to hunt and explore.

Exec. Director of a non-profit organization. Work with prisoners and ex-prisoners. Last thing in the world I thought I'd be doing, but been doing it for almost 20 years now. God has the best plan!

In one word... "study"...for five more years (high school and college), because my mother would kill me if I didn't.

Haven't been around here for a while. Good to see that the campfire hasn't died down one bit.

Spot

Active Duty Military. Been lurking here for a while, but haven't posted much. Seems like a lot of good folks here. Been overseas for 6 years and will be getting back to the US late this summer. Can't wait. Hunting and shooting have been at a minimum. Going to fire up the reloading press when I get back too. Have only reloaded for handguns in the past, so I'll definitely be asking for some rifle cartridge techniques and load info.

La4wd,

Just out of curiosity which refinery do you work in? I'm guessing Conoco in Sulphur...
