I really don't consider  myself an idiot.............but sometimes I'm not as smart as I think I am.....

there's often a fine line between self-confident and cocky. I cross it regularly...

Griz....that's some really great work...my dad worked for General Telephone from 1958 to 1988 and took pride in his cabling....he would have used hundreds of zip ties doing that cabinet.

Me, I worked my way through college in the produce business, then moved to the Calif. Dept. of Corrections in 1996.  Spent 10 years at California Institution for Men, achieved the rank of sergeant, promoted to lieutenant at California Instituion for Women, these are two of the original 12 prisons in Calif, then promoted to captain and currently assigned to HQ doing construction review, basically making sure prisons are built as secure as possible.....got 5 more years then retirement....maybe then get a job feeding the fish at a local fish hatchery....lol......Bill

Some really interesting backgrounds here!

I worked in Corporate Banking, Finance and Treasury up to the age of 55 when I decided it was a mugs business and retired to become a permanent and full time recreational angler.    Could no longer handle the stress and unnecessary BS that goes on in large corporates.   The thinking was that I needed to still do the fun things in life before it became too late and have not ever looked back.

I can actually say I held two jobs as from the age of 11 Y I started fishing for Yellowtail and other then for about 15 years from 1975 to 1990 when free time was very limited, I fished at every possible opportunity and where needed made opportunities.

Unfortunately fishing here is very robust and my body is now struggling to keep up with the demands and I am slowing down a bit.

That's a good thing.

Very nice seeing what everyone else does...keep it coming.

Thanks!

Doctors never retire -- they just turn the page and start a new chapter...

Methinks we can expect quite a few excellent tutorials coming up.

Congratulations, Alan!

Well deserved...
