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

[smokeywolf]

Yes, Near Bakersfield. Actually up in the mountains in Tehachapi,CA. Been casting since 1972 and shooting since 1962. When I was a Reserve LEO, I would cast and shoot 600 to 800 .38 wadcutters a month. Used a ten cavity mold and a 20 pound pot with a dipper. Good times!

Think I'm about 80 or 90 miles South of you.

Tehachapi is a pretty place. Got caught in a blizzard one time, up around the 5,000 ft. mark between Lone Tree and Jawbone Canyons; on horseback. Coincidentally, I think it was the first week of May of about 1979 or '80.

Small world! My son graduated from THS in '97. I might know your daughter. Name? (PM?) I was a Reserve with El Segundo PD. My training officer ironically lives in Kernville. Go figure.

Worked at a hardware store and a sprinkler manufacturing shop during high school. During college (going after an architectural degree) worked for a residential contractor as well as a block mason, whichever needed me on the days I wasn't in class. After college (and realizing architecture wasnt what I wanted to do) worked in a custom cabinet shop. After work dried up there moved to w Wyoming, became a construction materials tester for a large company that didn't care about the employees. Got a job with the State government doing constitution materials testing, survey, inspection, and overseeing large road and bridge construction projects. I'll be staying here for the next 30 years unless I get really ticked off.

Math ability? Very little that I saw the last 5 years of my career. All I saw was administrators placing kids in classes far above their abilities for the sole purpose of trying to look better in the eyes of the State. Tragic results.
