  - job(s)!
First, my respects to all who serve/ed. We can't do enough for you who have done so much for us all. Is Drifting a job? I dropped out of college in 81 and sailed on various Tall Ships/Windjammers for 4 yrs. Then apprenticed as a boat builder/master carpenter for 3 more years. Started my own log building company in New England in 87 - caught my partner embezzling, built 8 log homes in 14 months, closed the company. 89 went back to boat building, built my own 22 ft. dive boat and started commercial diving. 91 went back to college at Maine Maritime Academy. 96 went to work for Global Marine Drilling - The company that did the Jennifer project, I have a phone from the Glomar Explorer. Have been in the offshore oil drilling industry since as either an employee or consultant. Currently working for Diamond 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off as Mechanical Superindendent. Fantasy job, marine archeology. I actually have my own 2 man submarine!

[Redbeard]

Operations Specialist 01-05; USS Cole. Honorably, retired early. Installed water cooler filtration systems for a couple years after that. Now I'm an contracted engineer for the Navy.

[two wheels of fury]

I work at UPS supporting the aircraft engineers. I also sell vintage toys on Ebay and work on cars and airplanes on the side.  All in all, not a bad way to make a living.

[lefecious]

I manage a call center.  It can be pretty stressful at times but I can't complain.  There's not a lot of good jobs in my town and it allows me to take care of my family.

Screenwriting is a hobby for me at this point, but someday I hope to turn it into a career.  I'll be sure to post here if my work ever makes it to the big screen.

[chief]

Thanks, aclone..

[aclone]

Chief  You have it right.  love spray foam the the queen anne was foamed from top to bottom. Not sure how thick your studs are ( most are 3/4" to 1") use the thickest foam sheet you can and foam in the cracks. that will give you tha most bang for your buck.

Thanks for your service Troll... and welcome home shipmate.

[Troll]

 I'm a USMC Viet Nam Vet , doing 2 tours, and returning in 1970. I have a medical retirement that I'm not too thrilled about from the automotive industry. I have been an ASE master tech since 1976, G.M full corporate Master since 1983, Chevrolet Master since 1982. I got my MSF certification and have been teaching motorcycle classes since July of '81. I founded and administered the ABATE of Wisconsin rider Ed. program in 1990. and this year, passed it off to my second in command, who has been with me since 1986. I got my driver education certification this past year, and I am now looking for  part time teaching position with a local school for the winter, but with the economy as it is, so far, no luck. I'm  also in the IT business, I learned from my father, who worked as a system engineer for Remington Rand, and helped design the Univac computer. I build a few now and then, and do lots of (especially) lap top repairs. I'm a Microsoft OEM, and partner, and a VAR.  I try to keep busy, especially in the winter months, but cabin fever is an all too real problem. I can't wait for the spring, but I guess I'll have to. The last couple of years I've been able to get out in early February... I can always hope....

[chief]

Hey Aclone... I have a concrete block (above/below grade) studded wall with little or no insulation under paneled walls... my office... I'm starting a renovation .... What would you use to insulate? ... I'm thinking rigid foam between studs, sprayed foam to fill in seams etc.

[chief]

Very cool. I know who to ask when I have a reno question. I'm gonna make a chart with all these on it... just for the heck of it.

[aclone]

I restore historic homes . The Queen Anne took three years to finish and  was in worse shape than my next project. Its a 1905 frame vernacular/cracker. The church that owns it gave it to me I just have to move it off their lot. In between projects I keep busy working on other peoples homes.

[seanb]

I worked in a pattern shop repairing/building patterns for casting for a foundry. I then started working offshore on natural gas engines, compressors and generators. I worked my way up to running overhaul/maintenance crews. I recently took a job as a maintenance foreman for an independent oil and gas company. Before I just faught with equipment, now its personnel .

The equipment was easier to deal with ...
