I thought it would be interesting to know just how diverse this group is. I am retired from Bellsouth telephone company. Since then I have worked as a truckdriver and electrician. On ss now.

I am a self employed genius visionary.
Ditto. Actually I've been unemployed for over a year and a half so pretty much all I do is work on my friends' cars, work on my friends' computers, hang out at my friends' houses, tinker on my toys and projects, and sit on teh interwebz all day.

Usually working my real job, working SBP, working Amsoil....I think my brain melted in about August or so. I'm fracking fried.

I decided to take up a hobby in my free time, here's a couple fuzzy shots of my project.

Pablo,
I played a little bass in my younger days. Was bass player and band manager for a little group in Mimai Florida. Bass is fun, easy and you don't have to stand out in front and be a star like the lead guy does. I never learned to read music so all my playing was by ear. Have fun. Looks like something good to occupy your mind...and you don't gotta mix any fuel to do it well.

Self employed genius visionaries don't get paid much, but have an office with a beautiful view.

Really, I am a night janitor.
When I am not working there, or riding, I restore everything in my path.

I primarily work on Harley Davidsons. All of 'em. From the Italian 2 strokes through Twin Cams. I don't see very many V-Rods though. During my off time I am currently working on a couple of Honda CT 70's. Resurrecting them from the dead to be exact.
I like all motorcycles. I am not a die hard American only stereotypical biker type.
I also tinker with my truck, a 2006 Toyota X-Runner. Right now it is sneaking up on 300 hp. When I am not doing any of that I am trying to get my daughter to go mountain biking with me of her own will. T.V. is not good exercise for her.... but try to convince her otherwise.
Sometimes you gotta be the mean parent to be the good parent....
