I'm trained as an Electronics Tech but since I walked away from my job at the local defense plant I have been doing data entry for a company that does commercial Archaeology. It doesn't look like there is any electronics work left in this town so no clue what I'll do next. If I can find a way to boondoggle the state out of some funding I might train as a CNC machinist once this job ends.

I was a computer analyst, network engineer, manager of engineers, sales engineer. I started out as a banker but some strange things happened

Got sick while finally finishing college. Right now I just get too tired to do much of anything for more than an hour or 2

Working on becoming the know it all and able to fix it all. Broken hearts will take a litle longer nothing a good fast thinker couldn't fix. UHHH? all else will be repaired with 5 minute JB weld or bailing wire.

I retired four years ago from a major railroad after working in various clerical positions for more than 36 years. I was a pretty fair clerk I reckon, but I admired all the talent in the shops and miss my friends. All shop crafts were present and ranged from the hardly able to the most able. Some claim they could weld up a broken heart or the crack of dawn, and one guy swore he could make chicken salad out of chicken ... well you know. I am a former pilot having passed my check ride on my 33rd birthday on August 12, 1977. I haven't flown in twenty years. I like all things with two wheels, or wings, or strings, or that shoots. I have a 1969 Yamaha YDS and a 1972 Honda CB750 that have sat for years. I sure would like to get them running for find them a good home. I enjoy the forum.

I admire the skills of those of you on this site and wish that I could work with metal , engines brnotand paint the way that you do. You set a high benchmark for those like me.
