    I have had a long and sordid career history

    Worked in the auto repair industry in my younger days.
    Moved on to work in a large fabrication and machine shop for nearly 20 years.
    Was a field service engineer for a while with the same company.

    Moved on to open my own trucking company serving the construction industry.
    I am still currently doing local heavy haul dump trucking and own a gun shop.

    59 YO gal that has tried her hand at a lot of things.

    Done electrical wiring, both industrial and household
    Engineering work in the wood products machinery field.

    Production welding and machine shop work.

    Its been an interesting life.

    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

    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!

    Currently managing an auto parts store, been there for 18 years, before that made sinks and counter tops, both cultured marble and solid surface, before that worked at automotive stuff, for myself and other small shops.

    Would love to have a job where they paid me to shoot rifle and pistols.
