I didn't do it for money, more for the experience, I helped a friend dig a few drainage trenches for his yard away from his house so his basement wouldn't flood everytime it rained. That was an experience i'll never forget...and he wants me to do it again this summer :laughing7:

I thought Manual Labor was the president of Mexico, but I always had to do it. Vibes, which music video? Later on in life I decided I could save the world and went into law enforcement, for about 25 years. The world don't really want to be saved, but it was the most fun you could have with your clothes on at times. Other times it was kinda like, well you just really wouldn't get it unless you did it. Now I am in the wonderful world of retail, and I stop and say, what the h*ll, I don't belong here. But it's a job I guess.

A Gigolo....OOOOPS! sorry! :laughing7: :laughing7:

Well there is way too much to list, but I have this saying;

You may have heard the saying "Jack of all trades master of none"? Well here is mine

"Master Jack of ALL Trades"!

Everything from washing and waxing cars, repairing anything mechanical, "hydraulics, cars, trucks, motorcycles, heavy equipment", gunsmith, locksmith, drove tractor trailers, built scaffolding, pushed a broom, dug with a shovel, anything construction, built in ground swimming pools, carpentry, roofing, fencing, paint and body repair, roustabout on an oil rig, derrick hand on an oil rig, offshore filter operator, heavy equipment operator, now working the motorcycle rally circuit selling lighting and accessories for motorcycles and serving the Army part time.

But if it pays a little bit of money I can put my mind to it and do just about anything.

:coffee2: Ok, so my secret life will be exposed. Most consider me a non-asset to society, but in reality :coffee2:---

US Navy Oct 1941, after the war, Premed training in college, Max security guard at San Quintin, Calif. while going to school, with a bit of Narcotic investigation tossed in, then off to the new USAF Pilot training program, US Border Patrol.

Then one day sitting down and realizing that my life was being wasted. I decided that was work demeaning, so I became a professional Explorer and treasure hunter which I still am, except for a brief period of being an Elevator adjuster, assayer, and running a mining mill because the beans were getting a bit thin. :coffee2:

The Military made me an addict --> :coffee2:

No one has ever picked me out of my Pilot training class heheh hint 'look for the runt, that you can't see his face clearly' the ears will identify me.
