My 9-5 (that's a joke of course) is as a Printed Circuit Board Designer. In layman terms I get cad files from mechanical engineers and electrical engineers use voodoo to figure out what they "really" want/need and design a mother/circuit board from it. I just "retired" after 14 years, from my non 9-5, as a HS Football Coach.

Thank you for your server jades!

I am happily married to my mate of 20 years. My first mate died after suffering his 7th heart attack. My current mate was married to his first mate for 35 years, so between us we have had 55 happy years together.

My first 9-5 was as a secondary music teacher, followed by a short stint as a cannery worker, then another 3 years as a secondary music teacher and girls volleyball coach; then 36 years as a speed typist for The Oregonian Publishing Company, the largest newspaper in the state.

[jonnied1]

Joined the Air Force after high school in 1970, was a Crew Chief on B52 Bombers for four years, we delivered the things our enemies hated the most. When I got out of the AF I went to work in the Aluminum Industry as a Millwright, moved up to a Shift Foreman position for 15 years, then went into Maintenance Planning until I retired three years ago. Some of the products we manufactured (Aluminum can stock, Aluminum lid stock, and Aluminum TAB stock) for can manufacturers. I'm still digging that junk out of the ground every time I go detecting! Don't hate me for that.

I'm a finish carpenter. Started out learning to tape and finish drywall during summers when I was in college, and taped for 12 years before getting into working with moldings. I have a business with just me and two employees and we stay pretty well booked up doing finish work and remodels.

I used to drive up to these houses and instantly start visualizing details of the house and landscaping and how it could be enhanced, but now before that, the first thing I notice is if it looks like a good place to detect lol. We have been working on an old house that was built in the late 1800's and the owner said I could detect there any time, so when we finish up I'm going to try out my new at pro
