This was done a few years ago but we have a lot of new members since then so thought it would be cool to start another thread.

I own a commercial Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning Company in Reno Nv.

I'm working hard at being retired for 9 years now.

After 33 years in the telcom industry. I worked on everything from open wire and the old crank phones to micro waves and fiber optics. I was also a electrician working on homes, light industrial, and then in the oil fields.

I retired in 2014 at the age of 52 after 34 years of working in the grocery business.
Now I just work around the house and plan for the next hunting season.

I'm a cardiac sonographer. I work in a private practice cardiology group and spend all day in a dark room smaller than the tent I stayed in while elk hunting last week doing ultrasound imaging on patients with varying levels of heart disease. I tell people I am not really someone you want to get to know on a professional level.
