Slow down, please.

I'm guessing you have been to Arkansas. Arkansas is an old Indian name meaning Land of many orange barrels!

I'm sure there are all types of people on the forum and thought it would be interesting to see what people do when they are not playing with their car and/or how they fund the sickness.

I am a supervisor at a local company that builds locomotives.

next...........

and am a retired health care administrator living since 1985 in Charleston, SC. Was the first CEO of Stairways in Erie in the 70's. My brother, Gary, retired at age 56 from GE, and has 7 vehicles including a Harley and a Big Dog. He has them put up for the winter now.

I'm pretty much a "bum" [no cell phone or credit card] who has never actually made more than minimum wage since I was a mechanic after I got out of the Navy back in "69"! I got lucky and found a bag of money out in the woods [hunting mushrooms] and have lived on it ever since. If you don't believe me just ask evil twin!

It is a great job though.

I wish I had a nickel for every, "You must be on the take." comment I heard after I bought my used '98. I've been retired for 6 years, but I loved being a police officer so much that I would have worked for free.
