- January 29, 2011, 12:31:40 PMI 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.

- January 23, 2011, 11:55:27 AMI'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....

- January 23, 2011, 00:52:05 AMHey 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.
