How do you support your habit?

Nothing wrong with working in a Hardware store. That's on my list of cool "Guy" places to work at or own. Junkyards are on my list too. R-R-R!

I am a retired school administrator. Been a JH Principal, HS princpal, Ath. Dir., Asst Supt , and an acting Supt. My claim to fame is that I was Butch Davis' Defensive Coordinator here in Okla. at a 5A high school while coaching. In case you are not a Cleveland Browns fan, he is the head coach for the Browns.I was a few years older that butch and thought I'd teach him a little "ball" when he hired me. NOT, the guy was a real student of the game. Great motivator, workaholic, and confident but not cocky. HE did give me credit for learning a few things about how to work with people and understand kids though. Have gotten a few cowboys tickets over the years. He owns a health and fitness club here in the tulsa area too. : ;D

Been in and out of boating for 20 plus years. Teach part time now and enjoy my time off.

Well you just name it. I've always busted my butt. I use to paint in a body shop. After that i worked and lived at Youth Town Of Tenn for 8 yrs where we took care of and lived with many abused and abandon children. There we raised our own cattle and hogs , grain and hay and gardens. This was a 24/7 job. After that I worked for local utility division 14 yrs in the mud as a senior pipe layer in the water dept . Also helped in the electric and gas dept. Just started a new job last june where I could slow down a little being I'm 44. Now i do total maintenance for a large private school. I have 71 roof top , 26 through the wall and 2 ground heat & air units to keep going. Do all the electrical and plumbing . ALL building maintance but not janitoral . Keep the tractors , mowers and weed eaters going for the grounds crew. We just work on every thing you can thank of and there is only two of us to do it. God I hope I live long enough to retire so I can be like my buddy Mr willie at MMBA. ;D

I always thought that this hobby seemed a little too technically advanced for the meek at heart. I am a systems engineer with Verizon,working on T1, Digital Muxes,Adsl,Isdn,and Ifas. Before that i was fixing stereo equiptment and repairing big screen tv's with a friend for a living. My fun (hobby) money comes from my dj work and mixed tapes sales. It is a welcome site to see other in the non tech fields as well. They bring the common sense into the sport that we should all respect.

Do you notice a bit of a trend here?

The majority of respondents have some sort of technical background, or work with mechanical stuff for a living.

Not to many airline stewardesses or beauty pageant winners in this hobby. ;D

You haven't seen my mother have you? She is a real beauty! Don't get her started about stewardesses either, she might hack this site ;D

 

[Ron Olson]

No, we haven't seen Hammermom yet. I know that it's not her in the avatar though! I haven't even seen a decent picture of you! How about it H-mom, got a pic?
