Everyone from all walks of life.. fishing is the great equalizer. :) I have been an automotive Mechanic/tech for the last 23 years. For the last 13 have owned operated my 3 bay shop along with my brother who looks after the toy department( Boats, motors, atv, skidoos etc.) on the other side of the building. We get along just fine and we have 14 employees and still growing. Would not want to be anywhere else. :thumbsup_anim::thumbsup_anim:

....Well that's intersting Corey, perhaps I know him since I've worked in the area for most of my 28 years. The mill I'm currently on (4 stand) rolls the steel for the Z line and I drive the crane that loads them up for the Z line. :)

What I do is obvious, given the format i guess.

 

What have I been doing the past 10 years is something else.

 

Playing in business, sums it up pretty good. I've done everything from small business management to calculating costs for multi-million dollar contracts in the processed ham industry.

 

What a ride, I tell ya....

 

But what I REALLY want to get back to is small business. By far, it's the most rewarding work someone could ask for. Sure, there's tons of stress at times, and some months you don't know how you're gunna pull through... but it all washes away when you have that one on one conversation over the counter with a customer, who you know will come back for that personal touch that big box stores can't deliver. By far, it was the best working experience of my life.

 

I miss that job.... but slowly working my way towards it again.

 

Perhaps when my wife gets done with college (nursing), opportunities will be achievable.

We import raw materials to make jewellery and sell to jewellery stores. so if anyone on the board wants to save around 50 % off store prices pm me. we don't sell to public but do sell to friends and relatives, so anyone on here is a friend of mine.
