     I am 'Retired' and draw Social Security and pensions from: NYS Teachers Retirement System.
                                                                                    Iron Workers local #12
                                                                                    Bakery-Confectionary local #50
                                                                                    Machinists Union
     Grew up on a dairy farm above the Alcove Res. near Albany, NY. Started my 'Career' as an automotive machinist at age ten(yeah, I know, but I have the mechanics trophy to prove it), taught tech trades like Ag.&Tech@ SUNY Cobleskill, BOCES, Dept. of Correction and Parole. Literally wrote the book on teaching Industrial Truck Maintainence and Repair for the Manpower Training Program,(and taught it).
     I served on SUNY Albany faculty several years with the Atmospheric Sciences and Research Center under Dr. Bernard Vonnegut,(brother of writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr.), and a host of other stuff, professionally, like: Car, Boat, and Motorcycle, and white water canoe racing.
     My Father didn't believe parents should raise their own children and he 'Farmed' me out to places owned by his friends and partners to apprentice as; Bodyshop car repairman-Mason-Road Construction-welding-Farm machine repair-electrician-plumber/pipe fitter-Millwright, and a host of other things to keep me busy and off the streets,(which didn't really work).
 
     I've read everyone of these and am duly impressed with the 'Talent on the Ice' on this site, and am glad to be in such good company. May God bless you all, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, on safe ice. :) :tipup: :)

I started in 1969 as a Land Surveyor that lasted for 11 years. Went into Planning/Scheduling for a local aerospace valve manufacturer. I lasted there 25 years. I got laid off (excuse me, I meant downsized) in 2002. I went back to school and got my nursing license and I now work for Wayne ARC. I have a house with 10 developmentally disabled and mentally retarded, autistic folks ranging in age from 18-30. I take care of all of their meds and treatments. It's the best job I've ever had. I've got 8 yrs left then I can fish and golf full time. Merry Christmas and support our troops.

I'm an environmental scientist for an engineering firm, and I travel around the country catching fish to measure contaminant levels.  I've been active on this site for a couple years and love it.  Mostly I fish Skaneatles. 

I guess we know which lake to keep fish  from! :D

I am CNC Progarmmer in a manufacturing company near Elmira.

I've been addicted to this site for a couple of years, and have corresponded with many icefishers. However, I do not know alot about alot of you. So, why don't we all post what we do for a living, and maybe we can 'trade' work to each other, or establish business relationships?

Respiratory therapist for a home oxygen company and marble/granite/stone fabricator on the side.  Used to own a fabrication shop then sold it.  From the proceeds, paid off my house and bought a camp up in the adirondacks on Indian Lake with a nice boat.  If all goes well hope to bail out of the workforce by the time I'm 50 and then really start hunting and fishing.  Can only do it for about 8-9 months of the year becasue I still have to pay my bills!!

I'm the Facilities Supervisor for Mid-Town Athletic Club in Rochester. I manage the physical aspects of this fine, 130,000 square foot  tennis and fitness facility. It's a great job in a great place. I play tennis and squash, and  hit the weights and circuits. The scenery can't be beat ;D ;D
