Ive dug ditches by hand & later with heavy equipment, opperated hydraulic shears, presses & brakes, worked in Layout dept hand cutting internal parts for natural gas seperators with oxy-accetylene torch, certified high pressure submerged arc welder, certified high pressure arc, mig & heli-arc (tig) welder, boilermaker, layout pipefitter, worked many, many shutdowns & turnarounds in every So.Cal refinery as class A pipefitter/boilermaker, opperated heavy equipment including a 25 ton P&H crane. Now that Im old & very fragile I just act like I know whats goin on & let the young pups do the strenuous stuff! Ive deffinitely gotten smarter over all these years!
I kick myself in the butt for not listening to my Pop & staying in school............I could have made him proud & been a gynacologist! (a lil' joke between father & son) I used to tell him "Pop, with my luck Ida ended up a damn proctologist!"
