Retired from a large Plastics manufacturer. You send us the color you want and we ship you as much plastic of that color as you want in bulk 1/8th" pellets, from a 50# bag to a 90,000# railcar. Computer consoles, auto dashes and the Fenders and other body panels of the Saturn was the specialty. Some NASA material also. My last 20 years was in the Invironmental Dept, running a treatment process to despose of any spilled chemical. Feed the chemical to micro organisms at one end of a tank and get clean water discharge out the other. Now all I like to do is feed bait to fish.  ;D

I'm an auto installer. Remote starts, to heated seats, you name it. Ford factory audio upgrades and consultation as well. I also do Whelan strobe kits for firemens personal vehicles and unmarked po-po vehicles.
I'm also very good with auto glass, cut laminated glass for machinery/equipment, and diagnose water leaks that your local dealership can't find.

A somewhat recent career change that was unexpected, but i really enjoy it.

I do custom machine design for Pella Corporation (windows and doors).
Spent almost 22 years building this equipment, now I'm designing it in 3-D and love it.
I work with a small group of guys who share the same passion of ice fishing! :)
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!
