My favorite, prime rib.
 And that is the shop.

Damn that looks good!  Now I'm hungry!  I myself am a full time student. I also work on bikes, and sell parts to support my CB 750 habit. Sometimes I do stage hand work, for locale events also. Used to be a Contractor, and built houses.

Me, Started out as an Automotive Tech foew damn near 20 years... but for the last 15 I'm an Industrial Maintenance Manager. Been at a few factories over the years where I manage the 3 shift Maintenance Department to keep the machines running that make various car parts for the Big 3 and a few imports that are assemble in America. (Honda, Toyota, etc.)
Started out Sheet molding that made hoods, trunks and doors, then Injection molding that made all the plastic bits we cuss at on our cars like the insurment clusters, dash vent outlets, and window / door switch bezels. Now I am at a place that forms, bends, and welds exhaust systems.

I sling coke and pimp h....oh,day jobs????  HVAC here. Been at it since I was 9. Yep,9. My Dad started the business in 1985. It's what I would do during my summer vacation from school and every Saturday during the school year:go to work.When I was 12 I got in trouble for having a couple hundred dollars on me. Teacher wanted to know where I got it. It took a phone call to my Dad to get it straightened out:)
Butcher.Is that $7/lb bacon I see??

Did the teacher think about getting a new job? LOL...lol
Reminds me one summer I was working at A U.S. AFB as a jet engine mechanic helper on a summer job.
I was getting $4.32 per hour not kidding. I was a Viet Nam vet and was 26 years of age.
I was asked if I had ever been to a protest and they asked if I was a communist. Not kidding.
Isn't going to a protest a American right? Anyway.....
A young man showed up one day and was digging a trench for a plumbing line.
He said he was getting $18.00 per hour.

What do I do, well lets just put it this way, Im someone that is never there when you need me, but always there when you dont! Been doing that for 17yrs now. I was a butcher myself way back in the day, worked there all through high school, then decided I wanted to have more action, and less things that can hack or cut my fingers off, got in a fight with a meat cuber when I was 16yrs old, and lost, still have those scars on three of my fingers, never cut anything off though! Great now you have me craving some rib eyes, and we just got an inch and half of snow on the ground, no grilling for me!
I know enough to get me in trouble.

The main job is Network Consulting Engineer for C**** Systems, one of the largest providers of network equipment. I'm a field guy, which means I travel about 90% of the time. I've been in 30 states in the US, 5 provinces in Canada, and 3 states in Mexico.
Not only does it support my MC habit, but it also allows my wife to do her dream job: buying and selling of rare antiquities (aka Junking). She's got the buy low, sell high thing down pretty good.
