How Do,



What a diverse group indeed!



For a living, I am an automation/robotics repair and maintenance technician. I fix the equipment that manufactures the print cartridge in your printer, if you have an HP printer. Ten years and love the complex troubleshooting and repair, still. I come from aircraft maintenance background (A&P licensed) and I’m glad to be in manufacturing, for the money.



Off time; Husband, father, wrencher, diesel tuner, builder, (rigging a V-Drive day cruser with a blown BBC, as of late) Going to introduce my 5 yr old son to drag racing this weekend at Woodburn dragstrip! I have been called a gearhead now and then.



Have to say, the knowledge on this board is unbeatable, and thanks to all for that.



Peace

Andrew

I own a small company that installs CCTV systems, and fire and burg ... much to my dismay -- in high end commercial applications. Puts food on the table and bought my truck, but BORING! I babysit my crew most of the time, and they're interesting. I never knew that you could cash paychecks at the local bar!



I am also an Orthopdox Priest, serving a small parish in South Jersey.
