And I hit the wrong button....
Anyway so that's what I do, it's almost not like a job, really.  There's the occasional field trip, the do let me out every now an then, off to see a dealerships NOS stash, or to help load up another demantlers shop...that's always fun.
Anway, enough outta me.
Peace,
Star

I've been called The Under Taker, Quincy, Doctor G, but my all time favorite "the Jeffery Dalmer of motorcycles"......I'm a motorcycle dismantler here in Eugene, Oregon.  We part about 50 bikes a year, (sorry, no Drifters yet), and do about 80% of our biz on line.

It's kind of strange taking a part motorcycles, it used to be somebodies pride and joy, it used to be fretted over, it used to be loved......that was till they parked it and it never ran again.  Then an extra bill comes in and they remember the carcass of their long dead friend sitting in the corner of the garage.  A little wheeling an dealing with my Boss and it ends up on my table.  A very nice air lift table I might add...I love my boss.  We don't go to auctions, and the bikes pretty much come from Eugene and the surrounding area.  Pretty much all Asian Bikes, 60's, 70's, and 80's~sounds like a radio ad.

Every now and then a legend crosses my table, like this 6 cylinder Kawasaki.

This used to be a BMW police bike....I like doing Cop bikes.

I'll spare you some of the more nastier shots, I do use a Saws-All a lot.  It saves major time and well, it's just plain fun.  Every bike is dismantled and the parts stored in our two huge warehouses...it takes all 3 employee's ~the boss, his wife, and I to remember where everything is.  What doesn't meet quality standards goes into regular stock and sold locally.  Some parts go to who don't might a scartch or two or those that do a little "farmerizing" an make it fit.  We also have a lot of electic car and bike building going on in the Eugene area.  Lots of folks tinker, I once help a guy with a drive system to raise and lower his crab traps on his boat.....then there are our local artists.  It's already fun to know the parts I pull and clean go all over the world...but now I have a bunch of sprockets in a permanent piece of art work down by the University of Oregon.....them's a lot of sprockets.

I read the Dr's handwriting...

I don't know how anyone can even do that.  It must be worse than trying to translate hieroglyphics.   :o

I was working as a pharmacy tech before my husband passed...I read the Dr's handwriting...put info into the computer...and count pills...
I'm just not sure what I'll do now... I know I don't want the pressure involved with that type of work anymore...
I have been a bartender, waitress, school bus driver, fast food person, and worked at a liquor store...
I think that is where I'll go back to...I enjoy working where the party usually begins...I don't have the patience anymore for the other jobs... ::)

Neither COR, not COTR...I'm a Specialist, which basically means I'm the assistant to the Contracting Officer.

I worked on the systems integrator side for years, providing services to many DoD agencies.  Are you a COR or a COTR then?

I have been retired for 19 years, I have skills, trades, experience and have worked at many things..I suppose the most notable was professional assassin which didn't pay as much as you might think.

D1 nothing wrong with me as long as I wear my tinfoil hat the voices are really quiet, and the other thoughts are kept in check as long as the elastic band does not break......
