    "JUST A LINEMAN"??? I'd rather face a herd of pi$$ed off badgers than climb a pole that has 40 billion volts up there.... I'll take my chances with the badgers, at least I can see them! "just a lineman"......

    I'm a Radiographer. X-ray Technologist. I do plain film images, CAT scan and MRI. Been at it since the year I got out of the Army,,1989.
    I was a school trained auto mech, as a kid and worked as a "fleet mech" for a couple years.
    And a Dad, the most important job a guy could ever have.

    You got that right. Any man can be a father but not every man can be a dad. I keep this above the door in the garage. PHOTO_20140404_235325.jpg the same can be said for all the mothers out there.

    EDIT: I got out of the Active duty Army 2/88,,not 89 as I had posted.. went to work for Goodyear tire and then bounced around a couple factories before starting Radiography school in '89..I still do some simple wrenching on my junk and friends/family junk..every now and again,,I adjusted the reverse band in my old Dodge a while back with success. 1st time since about 1984 I tried that!! LOL..I could do timing gears and sech in the older engines if I had too, at least I did it to my old Grand Wagoneer few years ago,,another 1st since hi-school,, I had my Matco tool box full of tools stolen several years ago, it's hard to replace those kinda' tools when ya' don't do it for a living and sometimes/some jobs, it's a P.I.T.A. to wrench with cheep tools. I'd rather go fishin'!!!

    Most of my work experience is in accounts receivable, though I have also simultaneously handled insurance, risk management, billing and asset management. Currently manage credit and treasury and try to keep fraudsters at bay.

    I'm not the one who does it directly, but I keep the process equipment moving. We don't get to see any GE hardware in our shop. ;) Seeing as how they are the competition and all..... :whistle:
