[QUOTE="riff raff, post: 34677, member: 1158"] I started out 37 years ago as a stock boy in a mom and pop store when I got out of grammar school. Went to tech school after hi school and spent the next twenty years turning a wrench in various dealers. A motorcycle accident side lined me for about a year, and I set off metal detectors now with my left leg. I left dealers when cars warrantees started getting longerand computors more involved in their basic operation. From there Igot into the garment business. In the warehouse at first, followed by shipping. Next came the cutting room where original sample garments were cut for assembly by the stitchers. That company folded due to cheaper overseas labor, and they moved south. During the garment time I got married & divorced, then turned into a drunk. After checking into rehab I landed work on charter and party boats in the harbor. Left there a firstmate and went on to a tug company as a duty engineer. The money was great but the hours sucked. On call 24/7. Now that I've hit 50, security is my present gig till I find something more to my liking. Riding and playing with my naked 83 wing are what keep me somewhat sane. I also like photography. Don't drink no more. Been 9 years now. don't miss it either. But what's done is done. No regrets! It's too late for them. Just liven life day by day tryin not to bug anyone or let anyone bug me. Just ride, take pictures and wait for Laconia to roll around for vacation. [/QUOTE]
