I am an equipment manager for Huntsman Springs golf course. This will be my 14th season at golf courses. 5th at this one. Golf course work can really screw up plans in the summer, but all the extra time off in the winter is great for someone that would rather fish/hunt than work.

Military and lucky to have gotten a chance to spend the last 5 years here in Idaho.  Let's hope I can stick around a little longer.

15 years with Micron here, making computer chips.  One of the largest private employers in Idaho.  Largest private industries in Idaho are the science and tech sectors (local hospitals employ the most privately).  The state is obviously the largest public employer.

Lots of agriculture (potatoes obviously).   ;D

Had to go look that up and best I could find Idaho still produces the most potatoes. The SW portion of the state is the seed capital of the world with irrigation, fertile soils, and arid climate makes for a good area to produce seeds for many different crops. I am 3rd generation farmer with sugar beets being the main cash crop for most of my life.

What you mean you people?...... j/k. I'm a charger for an ammunition and aerospace engineering company called Atk. Basically I play with stuff that could level the building I'm in with one stupid decision. It's good times and every once in awhile I get to clinch my butt cheeks real tight.

Years ago I installed a lot of warehouse racking at HP in Boise. Not sure if it's even there anymore. Anyway, the month I was there, I tried like crazy to find a job out there. I love that town, but nothing to be found back then. Oh ya, I was there when the earthquake hit. I was up to the beams standing on scaffolding when it started shaking. That was interesting to say the least.

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
