I'm at up Shell's Albian mine in the alberta oil sands, currently looking for somethin that works better than what we have currently.
Haha! We do CP systems and AC mitigation, so I'm going to go with no

I believe he's in North. Feel like the last time I talked with him about work, he was programming robots for welding.

I guess I'll post in here.

I think I turned thirty-two at my last birthday. Thirty-one or thirty-two, it's not like I have candles to remind me anymore, but I think my wifey would say I'm thirty-two. I'm just a laborer. I work for a good-sized manufacturer of commercial cooking equipment where I've been for eight years. Our speciality is stone-hearth cooking and most of our products use a proprietary blend of refractory ceramic. At the moment I mostly do production wiring and R&D. I work with our electrical engineers to design new wire harnesses, redesign old ones, plan wire routing, wire management, layout, fixture construction and testing. I also work with our mechanical engineers in the early stages of new product development. Before that I ran our Fanuc/Lincoln robotic welding cell for the first few years that we had it, designing and building fixturing, programming and production. When I was first hired I mostly did production TIG and MIG welding. I also do a little machining, both for production and R&D obviously. It's a great company to work for. Always something fun.

I never attended college.

In my last two years of high school I spent a lot of time in welding and machining. My shop teacher got me a fantastic job after high school with a local Wenatchee company called VanDoren Sales, a fifty-year-old company that designed and built fruit handling systems for sheds. I spent five years there as a fabricator and machinist before pulling my 401k and going to Italy for three months where I rented an apartment and attended a small language school, not a stone's throw from the Vatican Museum doors.

At various times in my life I have worked weekend jobs in addition to my regular job, just for fun. I spent a year at Gilman Antique Gallery in the Bellvue area, which was at that time the largest gallery on the east side. I also spent a year as a paid gunsmith for a small gun store that was just breaking into that market.

That's about it. I used to do a lot more tinkering in my spare time, but now I'm married and mortgaged with a reliable modern car that has airbags and just RUNS. These days I mostly do small gunsmithing jobs and furniture hardware for friends and coworkers. If anyone is in the Bellingham WA area and would fancy a round of trap or some indoor rimfire, shoot me a pm. Thanks!

No point to keep track when you start to get over 30.

HAHAAHA all the time when I worked for sales. VERY disappointed with the SS and don't even get me start on a V6. The ZL1 Now that is fun, but the Z28 is amazing! I would take a Z28 over a GTR now that I drove one haha!

But my fav was still a Z06 vet I drove. OMG that is a super car.
