made a lot of extra money playing drums in rock bands on the side, getting ready to record a 2nd cd starting in april, I was a part time martial arts instructor in the style of kenpo, and starting tuesday i will be going back to study once again and eventually begin instructing again. and my real job is a paintless dent repairman at a subaru and toyota factory. and yes many brand new cars have dents in them before they make it to the public.

I was made redundant in October last, I used to configure, install and manage all Cisco LAN/WAN equipment for a huge international insurance company called Norwich Union (AVIVA).
Now doing loads of training courses in electric's as would like to get a job doing electrical/mechanical field repairs as have spent almost 10 years working indoors bending over backwards to make impossible deadlines.

I've spent the last 10-12 years developing and teaching Avionics systems maintenance courses for an airplane manufacturing company. Prior to that, I did some time in the military working on airplanes. All things considered the aerospace industry has been pretty good to me.

Viking,

I used to dodge boats like your while waterskiing on that same river. Just kidding. We kept our distance, but the wake behind the tow was a lot of fun. BTW, I was born about 5 miles from that arch in the background of your first photo.

My dad used to run a grain and fertilizer depot in Springfield, IL, and he and my mother used to ride a towboat downriver on occasion as guests.

I'm RETIRED but was a Project Engineer, Project Manager, Shipping Clerk, Uprate Manager/Engineer, jack of alltrades for a large power generation equipment manufacturer specializing in gas and steam turbines plus a combined version of the two. Probably in excess of 90% of this was for jobs 'elsewhere' in the world than the US. It was fun, exciting, energetic, challanging until it wasn't(the last 5 years). This is one of the most fascinating projects - and I was the material manager/ shipper for about 750 million dollars of equipment to a site in Wales. It was a prototype unit, producing about 500 megawatts of power. The photo is one of the commercial versions assembly in the factory -
