painter, Plant Operations, California Veterans Home, Yountville, CA





I have the greatest job in the world, painting the various buildings inside and out of the largest Veterans facility in the US.



I daily visit with WWI and WWII, Korean War, VietNam and other conflict veterans, the stories these old guys can tell... ...



These old farts put their lives on the line to insure our freedoms and our way of life that we take so much for granted, they are absolutely thrilled we when at the home take the time to slap a little latex on the walls of their residence homes... .



I love my job and drive 80 miles each way to do it!!!!!!

I run the Cosmetics department at Foley's (of course). What else would you expect a truck drivin, Texas girl to do!;)
 
Work sales and mobile video accesories for a dodge dealer and also run a wholesale business for navigation systems and mobile tv's vehicletvsystems.com
 
Senior Operations Support Engineer for The Largest Natural Gas Compressor rental company on the planet.



Basically, I am a Mechanical Engineer who helps our field mechanics with any engineering on existing sites, vibration studies, noise studies, air/fuel control problems, failure analysis, maintenance studies, warranty negotiation (with our vendors AND customers), and the list goes on... .



Jack of all trades and a master of none.
 
actually two jobs... ... ... #1 i am a chemical operator at a uranium enrichment plant, working rotating shifts. we make the stuff that makes your lights burn.



#2 as i did before the chem-op, i drive trucks move and operate equipment for a general construction company.
 
I manage a seven-member controlled corporate paper disbursements (that's checking accounts) fraud prevention unit for a major financial institution. So, my profession is banking.
 
I'm almost ashame to say. I work for The State of Texas--DOT. My job requires me to do many things, like driving 6 and 10 yard dump trucks,hauling and operating heavy equipment,putting up speed limit road signs. I know that I do excellent work because when I was recently putting up those new 55 MPH speed limit signs, people where flying by in their cars blowing their horns on their cars and telling me by sign language that I was NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't make the same mistake that I have!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been a United Methodist pastor for 25 years..... just became pastor of a church in Ewing, NJ this past July. You're more likely to see me wearing Wranglers and boots than clergy garb. I'm a native born Texan, pretty laid back, and believe religion should be "meat to sustain us, not a bone to fight over". I'm a "live and let live" sort of guy, and don't believe I was put on this earth to pass judgment on anyone else, so you won't find me "preaching at ya" at a truck meet, rodeo, or anywhere else other than the church I serve on Sunday mornings.



My other passions are rodeo, especially bullriding, and of course, my Dodge truck.
 
Been working in the HVAC/R industry since I was a junior in high school back in 1981. Now employed at Washington Dulles International Airport as a Utility Systems Repairer/Operator.

I operate large centrifugal chillers and boilers up to 33 million BTU in the central heating/cooling plant. Also on hand for any type of emergency or non-emergency calls that come in to the plant.



I've been on shift work for ever it seems. You name it I've worked it,midnights,days,evenings, weekends,holidays,the whole shootin' match!

When I'm not at work I enjoy repairing small gas engines, tinkering with my Oliver 1755 tractor,and of course

spending time with my wife and two stepdaughters and my CTD

on our little 8 1/2 acres of this green earth!
