Retired from AT&T after 31 years in 1998. Spent the first 11 as a comunnication technician and the last 20 as a supervisor in the engineering department. Ran a computer repair service until I had a second heart attack and first stroke in 91. Can't work anymore.

Got my first aquarium as a kit in 1969.

I have 91 honda civic with a 1.8a LS with 375hp at the wheel and no NOS. terbo charged w/18 psi the fastest one on the street SO far. Oh ya and my tanks. p.s. I`ll run your 5.0 stang
LOL :lol: What a backwards culture we live in. I am autocrossing a rear wheel drive, torque-heavy V8 muscle car and you're drag racing a nimble, front wheel drive import car.
375 wheel horsepower out of a 1.8L. That's just insane. You're going to turn your motor into a grenade!

Rickster, what the heck is that supposed to be a picture of anyway?

Oh, I'm a junior psychology major (formerly biomedical science/pre-med) and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2004 (Whoop!) at Texas A&M University, the best university in the US! Whoop! :D


P.S.-If you're not an Aggie, I don't fault you if some or all of this message didn't make sense. :wink:

I am in construction. Heavy machinery operator. Dozer and excavator being my specialty but I can run just about anything. I sometimes get into the supervision/project manager side of it. But I try not to because I like haveing low responsibility (in other words I can come in hungover and nothing is said :lol: )

As for hobbies I work on my Corvette (not going to offer to race anyone. I like having my CDLs and I dislike racing on the track), I like to fabricate various things in metal (not art, functional things like go-carts and off-road buggies and other sorts of things), playing with my two cats (they like my aquaria more than I do, hehe), and I LOVE to learn (I am a walking oxymoron, an intelligent construction worker. IQ of 160+, lol). There are a bunch of others but those are the main ones.

Hey sounds like a lot of different vocations here.

Well as for me.

I have an associate diploma in Surveying, a bachelor degree in Law, a graduate certificate in Legal Practice. I am currently a Director in a commercial ceiling company. For all you people who live in America, my company puts up those ceilings in your offices. I employ eight people.

It took me 22 years to find out what I was good at and even now I'm still uncertain!! :)

Anyway as I always say, you should never have too many feathers in your cap.

Rumple.
