Re:What does every one do for a living?

My name is Marc and I work for a company out of Canada doing Fiber Optic stuff. I also run a side business running cable in buildings. <br><br>For fun I like to play with my 400EX, Gixxer 600, Malibu Boat, and my race car.<br><br>I don't ever plan on getting married either, cause the toys would go away and the wife would ruin my day!

Re:What does every one do for a living?

Hey PW,<br>Hope you're gonna be in the Key West area around the tail end of June. Our Sub Vet Base here is in the process of bringing the old USS Razorback SS-394 back from Turkey. She was commissioned in 1944 and turned over to the Turks in 1970. They decommissioned her the middle of 2002. We are sailing her home to the Little Rock area and setting her up as a museum. Anyway, our stops are going to be Gibraltar, New London, Norfolk, Charleston, Key West, New Orleans, Memphis, and finally Little Rock. Scrounge up all the diesel fuel you can, 'cause those 11,000 cubic in (180 L) Fairbanks will suck up some fuel. Looking at 100,000 gal for the 6,000 mile trip.<br>Will keep you posted.

Re:What does every one do for a living?

My name's Mike and I'm not an alcoholic. But I do like Killians Red and I have my own full size soda machine in the basement with ice cold Icehouse at the touch of the button :P(Killians cans are to expensive!). It makes playing pool so much more fun.. I manage a company that sells moving and warehousing equipment nationwide. I actually bought my truck and a 30' enclosed car trailer because I was going to start my own business doing what I do now. Well, my boss, who is a great guy, made me a financial offer which &quot;I couldn't refuse&quot; so I decided to stay for a few more years. I now have what I always wanted, a blue collar job with little stress, at a white collar pay scale. ;D
I used to drag race a 68 Road Runner and a 70 Challenger R/T, both 440 cars with NOS. Both ran mid 10's and it was a great time but I just got tired of it. I've gotten rid of all my cars now and I'm wasting all my money on the truck. I have an empty bay in the garage, though, that I'm thinking about filling with another old MOPAR of some kind.
I've been married for a few years and have a 14 month old angel who is the light of my life. She's got me wrapped around her finger now and I'm afraid of what she's gonna put me through in the future. I'm 37 years old and I have wasted way too much money on cars in my 19 years of driving. :'((It is kinda fun though )

Re:What does every one do for a living?

My name is Ben , and I work for a small town( just under 10,000) in north Texas . I’m the supervisor at the Water treatment plant (wa-wa not ca-ca) Class “A” water license, 6 more years and I’m out of there. The only good thing about working for the city is “the checks don’t bounce. Before I started working at the city I drove a truck. Don’t that make you feel good (old truck driver now treats your drinking water) but I must be doing something right we keep wining awards from the state for the quality of our water. I also have a small farm and a yard maintenance business.

Re:What does every one do for a living?

My fiance TPilaske is always talking about the great people on the DTR site and has me read the threads all the time, so I figure I would read about everyone. We have no kids but who needs them when you have a diesel and a 5er <br><br>Michelle
