The Navy lets me blow things out of the sky with high mach rocket propelled explosives (SM-2 Surface to Air Missile). Can you believe I get payed for this?

On the downside, I have to keep the computers, radars, ext running so the missile can find the targe.

Industrial instrument mechanic at a pulp and paper mill about 36 miles from Racerguy. And by the way Racerguy you can't retire until all the problems with my truck are rectified. LOL

Cool

I'm a staff Engineer for a Division of Honda Motor Company.
I used to be a Gynacologist until my eyesight turned for the worst and I developed Tunnel Vision.
I also worked for Kenworth Truck company in the late 80's and my grandfathers auto repair shop before that. I also used to sling chicken at a restaurant.

Man, my career seems boring compared to you guys. I've been turning wrenches since I was big enough to hold one. Currently (last 7 years) with the U.S.P.S.

I started in 1981 in Street Stock with a 1971 Mustang with a 351C. Have raced lots of different vehicles since then. I was going to say lots of different cars but I raced a truck for about 3 years too. Currently I race a Late Model (we call it Hobby Stock) 1997 T-Bird with a 351W. I race mainly at our local track as the next closest one is 350 miles away. We have a paved, banked 3/8 mile semi egg shaped track.
We had our awards banquet on Saturday night. I missed top points "A" by 1 measly point 816 to 815
lol
I won Member of the Year which is quite an honor and also had fast time for the year.
We have a few 2 driver cars at our track. My wife races the T-Bird against the men too and she won top points "B" this year. She won it last year too. Some of the guys arent too thrilled about that
