What does everyone do?
Hello all. Just trying to get this forum going. Let's make this fun so we can get more people on here. Spread the word to your buddies
So this will have two parts.
1.What do you do professionally?
2.What do you do for fun? ie. hobbies, projects....
1. I am a Reliabilty Test Engineer for a company that manufactures OEM higher end sound systems for the auto industry.
2. Motorcycles are what I like the most. I ride both street and dirt. I have a crotchrocket, but not against cruiser types either. One day I want to build my own custom cruiser bike. So I can have 3 types of bikes. I also SCUBA dive. Play PC games first person types. I like to work with Gas Powered RC cars. I play Bass Guitar. Not in a band though. Also learning acoustic guitar(i know basic chords)

RE: What does everyone do?
Hi...my name is Patrick and im an alco...wait...wrong meeting...
but seriously..
1. I work as a freelance writer right now, doing mostly new car reviews. For instance, I wrote the Ford history on this page. I also work for the company who owns this forum, so I handle many aspects of the forums. I have a degree in tax accounting and I was working as an accountant, but have recently moved and I am still hunting for a job in that field.
2. Prior to moving, I coached a college hockey team, as well as playing on several teams. I have not found a team to play for here yet, but with winter coming, I hope to do so. I also was a driver in a small national drag racing series (averaging about 100 runs a season), but since I moved, and had no room for the car/trailer here, I have only run a few this year, and that was in two of my daily drivers. I will get to run my "fast" car in a few weeks, and Im looking forward to that. I like racing games on PS2, and I have a few project cas here. When in high school I made money to build the car that i drag race by building exact models of peoples cars that i knew, and while i havent built a model in about 10 years, when i moved i brought my kit with me, and i may get back into doing that.
I know, Im not very interesting right now...i used to be...i swear!

Hi,
I am a retired volunteer fire chief (this was my other job) I make a living as a senior lab analyst for a mining firm in Wyoming. I am not retired from this job (just tired). I volunteered my services to our community for 29 years, 20 as fire chief. I enjoy hunting, fishing, fourwheelers, and four wheeling in my F-350, traveling and being with my wife of 34 years. I have three sons and we all own Ford trucks and cars. I'm old enough to remember when the Mountain Men were tourist and young enough to still keep working. I have read several of your responses and enjoy both your humor and seriousness. Keep up the chatter so far the forum is great.
