This is a dream job.---This spring is my 43rd year!!! I particularly have enjoyed the last 7 years working on my own. Next week I start a 2 month contract on some big machine that was built in Germany and purchased by a company in Canada. The relationship between the 2 companies went off the rail some time a few years ago, and now the German company has gone out of business. Now the Canadian company wants me to "reverse engineer" the machine and create new mechanical details of it, to produce a new machine.
