Just got off the phone with my uncle Joel. He laughed and said hi.

Spent 28 years in the Supermarket business. I burnt out managing the meat dept. when I was 47 and went into manufacturing / machining (O&G). Retired as a production facilitator (in 2020) after 14 years and living the dream. Started playing golf again and shot my best round ever on a 9-hole course in Cloud Croft NM last month. It was a par 34 course and I shot 38. I actually parred 7 out of 9 holes.

Commercial Electrical work.
Started as a green helper in 1991 and moved up through the ranks to job foreman, superintendent, Project Manager, and now Estimate.

You forgot to mention dog trainer.

Technology Director (CTO) for a healthcare system. We have 1 hospital, 5 clinics, a nursing home, an assisted living facility, a home health agency and a county wide EMS service. I stay pretty busy.

Family Service Counselor for a Large funeral and cemetery company. guaranteed job security. cause everyone is going to die at some point.

Byte herder (database). Button pusher (keyboard).

I played there about 3 weeks ago, fun little easy course. I drove the par four 5th hole four times for 3 birdies and 1 eagle. I think it's a fairly easy hole to drive for most folks.

Always been in sales some sort of way… IT, Medical… Started rehabbing houses about 9 yrs ago, ended up getting my real estate license couple years back to help save those costs. Looking around a bit now. Might make a change.

Spent 29 years as a critical care medic on ambulances and helicopters for a hospital system. Got tired of risking my life every time we lifted off. Went to DFE Tech in Tyler in 2014 and now I'm a senior mud engineer on a drilling rig in Odessa.

Commodity Manager for global heavy equipment manufacturer

I bet that’s a stressful gig in the current climate.

Currently resting on my laurels.

Was machinist and QC for 22 years. Aircraft and oilfield
Farmer/Rancher/Land speculator
Shade tree welder and fabricator

Not much anymore. Seems I'm fighting with Social Security to keep them from stealing what I earned in 32 plus years of working for the government and 7 years of public service as an EMT. Wish I was back either chasing illegal aliens or working for Customs catching dope and smugglers on or near the Rio Grande. Now, if I'm not fighting social security, I'm mostly bored or here and TFF.

Windfall ??

Build/start up deep water oil & gas floating production facilities.

It’s pretty unbelievable for the last two years

Fish, Hunt, and drink. In my spare time I coordinate vendors and project manager meetings.

I dunno, they're saying I didn't have medical insurance when I was working EMS in Presidio or Fort Stockton. Which is BS, I not only had city/county Blue Cross Blue Shield I've had it ever since I retired from Government service back in 2020. So, it's some form of Medicare/Medicaid bovine scat. What PO's me is that they are trying to screw me for money and yet handing out medical services and social security to MF'ers whose clothes aren't even dry yet from sneaking across the river.

Retired diaper maker...

Commercial Sales Manager

Heating Ventalation Air Conditioning and Refrigeration 1973 until my knee replacement 3 weeks ago. I am now retired fulltime.

Experience includes throw away window units to 100 ton systems. Household refrigerators to 1200 pound per day icemakers.

Self employed/ unemployed, corporate management, continuing education instructor and some government employment.

Forester. I grow Trees and wildlife on 130,000 acres of private land and all that goes with that. I’m not much on awards but I’ve been recognized for the wildlife and habitat work that people I have worked with have accomplished on private land at the state and regional level. After I am gone I hope my legacy will be as a conservationist that was able to leave better than what I started with to those that come after me. Ive been blessed many times over.
As a side bar: my occupation has allowed me the opportunity and places to shoot 4 or 5 days a week for three and a half decades which is how I come up with a lot of the crap I post about shooting.

I bought a charity hunt once on Temple Inland’s boggy slough. I envied those guys. Doing all the things I loved, but I’d already made a deal with the corporate devil.
