These days, I don't have an idea about what I'm doing.
Actually, I'm a panel maker....highend restorations on collectible autos.
I specialize in french and Italian cars.....buggatti, Delahaye, ferrari....I haven't touched a car worth less than 7 figures in ages.

Currently I am installing for DirecTV. In my spare time, I fix computers. In the past 5 years, I have built Whirlpool refrigerators, Amana commercial microwaves, and did technical support for TaxACT.

I work at a civil engineering company as a CAD technician. I'm also going to school part time to get my engineering degree.

Manage a few businesses, collect pocket knives, mountain bike, birdhunt with my GSP, deer hunt with my uncles, shoot skeet and sporting clays, enjoy hunting and sporting firearms, work out, maintain my own vehicles, enjoy cooking, grilling, smoking, baking bread and pizza, and any and all of the above are much more enjoyable when I do them with my family.

Middle picture looks like a pair of KT35's to me.

I've worked a few big engines, but nothing that size.

Couldn't remember if it was 35 or 38. The biggest ones I worked on were V12 71 Detroit, V16 92 Detroit, 1710 Cummins and 3412 Cats. But that's been over 10 years ago. Had to quit working on the big stuff, my back just won't take it anymore. I just love the sound of a big V12. The V16 was about 1000 hp.

I ran CNC Ram Edm's and Wire's in the Tool trade for almost 20 years. Been layed off since Feb of 09. I have been enjoying the time off and spending every possible minute with my,now 18 month old daughter. I am currently trying to decide what I want to do for a new career, so I can go back to school.

Other than that, building custom harleys, playing in the deep mud on big modified 4x4 4-wheelers, and just putsing around on the retired farm.

Well I am a machinist by trade (manual lathes and mills - no CNC for me!). I worked for the Bethlehem Steel Corp till 2001 when they shut down the Lackawanna(NY) plant. Worked for Norfolk Southern RR for a while. Was a locomotive engineer on a shortline railroad for a few years before I hired on at Bethlehem. I have been temporarily laid off since November 09 from a laser cutting facility but it has worked out real well. I got to coach my 3 kids in ice hockey this past winter. Like jbollis I too am currently trying to figure out a new career path. It seems the need for machinists in the Western NY area is drying up. All in all, life is good!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
