Went to school for carpentry, got out moved down ti south Fla, was a foreman on a farm,moved back to Pa cause the wife hated gators in the yrd lol. Drove truck a spell, then went to fixing them for 31 years. Numerous jobs went bye bye to closings. Last one was Frontier Communications till the shut the garage to farm work out. Laid off in 2010 went on to drive again for Old Dominion Freight Lines as a line haul driver pulling doubles 5 nights a week into Jersey City and NYC or New Haven. If I survive the NJ and NY 4 wheeler wack jobs for another 12 years I am going to retire.Married 31 yrs with 2 kids and three grandkids. The boys are a whole other job. I least the schooling I used to build my house top to bottom, everything and a fully equipped auto garage with lift tho my knees say no to concrete after 31 years and surgery. Us 5 mechanics got certified letters to come back to the phone company the other week as linemen install techs. I cant see my self climbing a pole ( requirement) at 55 with bad knees. Beside I think landlines will be going by the wayside before I retire.
