Farm Equipment Salesman...actually we own a dealership. I bounce between Sales, Parts, scheduling service, and I'm even out in the shop some! Best times are when I'm out on the road in the Dodge

In the off times (getting few and far between the past couple years), I play with the truck, or do some trap shooting

Talk about two expensive hobbies

I own and operate a Commercial/Industrial Services company. We do a lot of pressure washing under contract for some national companies and also some local small businesses.
We also do some confined space entry, tank cleaning, and hazardous waste on ocassion.

I know all too well about both of those expenses. I used to shoot about 250-300 rounds every weekend for about a year straight. I got so good that no one wanted to shoot with me anymore!

I had the pleasure of getting together with Tiny last Wednesday evening and shooting a little. Gorgeous night and he doesn't shoot half bad! Just messin' with ya big guy!

I am a retired city policy officer and now a police officer for a community college. In other words, I guard mini shirts! Not bad work but someone has to do it!

I currently work for State Farm, in their Life company. I would love to get back into some computer related field. I used to run a small ISP/consulting/sales/repair computer company, and I would love to do something like that again. maybe some day...

Construction laborer for my dad's business,but that is starting out real slow this year so i need to find another job in the next month or so. Hopefully someone looking for a landscape laborer or construction laborer will pop up soon. In the winter months I plow snow,for the past few years I have jumped from operating a hoe,skidsteer,ATV,plow truck,and working a shovel. This year I will mainly be driving my own truck,then just hire sub-contractors.

That's a little less than I used to shoot (I'd go through 6-700rds)...I got pretty good, but I picked up a lot of bad habits that messed with my head. Finally, it got so bad it wasn't any fun, so I quit I shoot about every 6-8 months now, just to see if I forgot how to do it. So far, I can't kick those old habits.
