    what do you do or did you do for a living?

    we haven't done this one in years. Lots of new guys here since. Me, I worked as an electrical lineman for most of my life after I got out of the service.

    I'm a truck driver now before that I sold auto parts and before that I did auto body repair and worked for uncle Sam in the big green machine. That's most of the full time stuff, lots of part time gigs in there somewhere.

    Worked in the fields/sheds most summers like every Central Valley High School kid did, then worked as a Pump Jockey at several stations during the winters. Enlisted in the Canoe Club to avoid the draft with my #1 Lottery Number, decided to make it a career until Carter became POTUS, discharged after 8.5 years . Drove local & OTR trucks for 4 years before taking the plunge into Law Enforcement. Medically retired after 17 years & moved to a little cabin in the Southern Sierras, have done some Taxidermy, Motorcycle Sales/Service, Fire Camp assignments & one summer in Alaska during the past 16 years, now mostly just a Retired Grandpa of 6 ....

    EDIT: Forgot to add that I have been married to my lovely child bride since 1975 .....
