I have a trailer I tow behind my 1800 Goldwing. Took 5 kites and my buggy to Reno last summer, with my wife also.

Quoted from somewhere...

GEE, I thought you were all international pro power kiters and we just never met 'cause I ride blades :smug:


Electrician / Power Engineer.

I spent 17 years taking care of the Power Companies head office but we just lost that contract. I'm now taking care of strictly lighting in a set of towers and shopping mall close to home. Very low stress, union wages. I like being able to bike / blade to work + having time to fly in the afternoon so it fits but I still miss the last contract.

I'm a Computer Systems Integration Engineer. But honestly, I have no idea what that means

currently, i do human pretty well,

they're gonna come get me, those bastard

but it's much better than last time ,, back in Rome 400 AD as a "P.E instructor" for the weekend entertainment group. you have no idea how hard it is to teach someone how to remove the head of an opponent while on horse back. i must say air conditioning certainly improves things as well.

LoL. At least you know what yer looking for, right?
I also spend a lot of time correcting settings within IE. Gotta love proxy servers...

at school still! :bouncy:

Warehouse Manager at a construction supply business... Inventory, sales, small tool repair, you name it i do it all around here...

Its such a small gig, and so much is demanded of us, we only run four employees, but do the same business as some of our other stores that employ 30+ people... its a good job, even if it does get a little crazy from time to time..

Kind of a huge array of fields represented here...

Beamerbob... if your passion is in 3d modeling... which i can relate... I got really into CAD, and eventually the 3d stuff, look into video game designs... if you are slick with a few different programs, you could make a killing in a few of those areas... Just a thought, but i agree, once you break away from the CAD programs, some of that 3d design is such a blast!
