    I was a hooker. :biggrin_25522:

    In the last thread...I was something else.

    The one before that...I forget.

    The next thread (on this topic), I'm going to be a major Drug dealer. :biggrin_25523:

    Started out spinning a wrench on boats and yachts. Bought a marina and started a boat repair service that expanded to servicing clients up and down the east coast. Did that for 20+ years. Hurricane came along and I got to hit the restart button. Decided I was to advanced in years to wedge my old bod between a Caterpillar C9 ACERT and the bottom of the boat. So here I am doing what I wanted to do when I was a kid with my nose pressed up against the car window watching the trucks go by.

    What an opportunity!

    I was a Civil Engineer, owned my company, got divorced, lost my house, my vehicle, and my kids; said screw it, and left small town Montana to see the country as an OTR Trucker.

    I was an EMT/Paramedic, then medical and dental practices Financial Managers, then became a minister. Grandad was in law enforcement then a production supervisor. He left law enforcement so I could move close to my parents and care for them. He's a very wonderful man. We chose to leave those careers and do this together as an adventure and to make money.
