Been employed at General Dynamics, Electric Boat located in Groton Ct for 35 years now holding many different interesting positions. Starting out as a Shipfitter, then a Structural QA Inspector - performed MT, PT, VT, Eddy Current of completed welds, then a Linesman - locating all the locating points on a ship. I was then retrained due to a injury and now a Senior Mechanical Designer Specialist as well as the AutoCAD Admin for the mechanical group for the last 17 years. Retirement is in the near future, hoping less than 10 years to go!!

Happy New Year to all

Wooster huh... I live just West of Lodi in Sullivan. What brands of pellets are out near Wooster??
 
I solve pellet stove problems. Before, I ran a painting company. Got into this on a fluke when my painting biz dried up and I was tinkering around in my garage and decided to post a craiglist ad to clean pellet stoves. Within a year I had worked on about 500 stoves. Hint hint....yes, there is work out there for the inclined and motivated.
 
I am very impressed by the technical and hands on diversity here. This will be a nice group to be a part of.

For the last eleven years I have maintained an equipment and vehicle fleet, including snow removal pieces, for a private golf club and residential community.

I also represent a specialty lubricants manufacturer, and focus on golf and it's related industries.

rb62, many things that were once done by eb themselves is now done by vendors throughout the country, cost effective I'm guessing!
