I'm a Forester for the 3rd largestprivately held timber company in the USA. Been managing timber for over 20 years. Did a two year stint in Victoria Australia, which was an amazing experience...saw my fair share of Koalas and Kangaroos! I have no complaints about the career path I chose. Its presented me with great opportunities and everyday is different.

I'm retired now but I've worn many hats, all of them greasy... Heavy equipment field mechanic, owned a gas station/repair garage, managed a salvage yard, built racecars & hot rods, service manager at a used car dealership, & aircraft mechanic in the Air Force & had a British motorcycle shop specializing in vintage Triumphs for a little while until I realized there aren't enough of them left to make a full time living of it. Now I just tinker in my shop on my own projects and talk crap on da innanet.. Thinking about going to school to be a Walmart greeter.

I drive an 18-wheeler, hauling saltwater in the Barnet shale area in and around Fort Worth. Been doing this type of job for 7+ years. It sucks but it pays the bills and leaves a little extra to find my MD habit lol.


Proud to be a Texan!

Right now, I take care of the wife and the property. I worked most of my life in the restaurant industry. Other than that, I drove a fork lift for a while and drove OTR for a few. I do a little bit in the stock market now and I hit the occasional storage auction. But mostly, I take care of my wife and do what we want to do.

What I really want to do is find some hidden treasures or some diamonds. Problem is, I have no fookin clue what the fook I'm doing lmao... Someone, please help me and show me the ropes... I'll do the digging!!!

Hmm.. We used Raymond lifts in our warehouse. I think everything was through Malin if I remember correctly. Maybe I annoyed you while doing a battery change one day! Lol, those things are HUGE!

I currently work as CNC programmer and machine giant nuts and bolts. It pays the bills and supports my addiction of metal detecting. I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and the ground has been frozen this winter, and I am itching to do some detecting with my ctx3030. Can't wait for spring, I want to find 1,427 gold coins too. But I wouldn't make the mistake of telling anyone about it.

Lol! Recently I read a post on another forum about where a person would be most likely to find a gold coin. Very interesting indeed! California looked pretty high on the list, but that sort of stuff could literally be anywhere. That's why our treasure hunting doesn't start and stop with an 'on' button! ALWAYS be on the lookout...

wellllll, years ago I was a body double for arnold in the movies. During that time on the side, I invented things. Cell phones, satellites, laptops, stuff like that. I got tired of the precision of that and began a career of shaving supermodels legs and doing misting for photo shoots. Nowadays I just play around being an interweb celebrity

Glad you didn't say you invented the Internet! I did that! My real name is Al.....

I worked most of my life as a gold assayer and refiner. When most of the large mines in Arizona shut down, I didn't want to go back to Nevada so I worked as an automation instrumentation technician for a number of years until retirement. Now I sit under banana trees in the tropical breeze drinking good Nicaraguan rum and ogling lots of Catrachas.
