I"m a retired Gov. worker. Worked thirty five years in a hydroelectric power house right here in Pierre, S.D. Worked my way up to electrical foreman. Now I market my Wiley One female Howlers and devote my time to coyote calling and fishing and doing whatever I want. Every day is a weekend and I love it.

Rich Higgins · August 07, 2006, 10:39:32 PM

I work too many hours. Self-employed. Retirement is a long, long way off. Weekends and coyotes keep me sane. Kind of.

Nuclear Security here, but I am just starting a bowfishing guide buisness.

Rick223 · August 08, 2006, 02:49:41 PM

Ahh Do you glow in the dark Centerfire?

Basshole · August 08, 2006, 03:48:57 PM

Rick, that would probably make night time bowfisihing a little easier, plus you'd never have to worry about the flash light batteries going dead. :roflmao:

Professional plumber/electrician for over 30 years. Service work is my expertise now, repairing what you guys “fix” keeps me in bullets and powder.

I make what Rick probably prints onto. I work for Bemis PPD (Polyethelene Packaging Division), easier put, I make plastic. Tyson, Kellogs, General Mills, Curwood, Milprint, everything that comes in a plastic wrap. Our facility is the largest in the world and we now have an extruder that is the only one in the world. It is pretty neat

and it pays the bills :roflmao:.

Rick223 · August 12, 2006, 04:20:29 PM

Posiedon · August 12, 2006, 06:10:42 PM

Posiedon · August 12, 2006, 11:56:47 PM

Wow that sucks, well don't keep your hopes up. The way Chinas polyethelene divison is growing they say they will own us within the next decade. Guess I will just collect unemployment and hunt for a living

Wait a sec, why ain't I doing that now?

studabaka · August 13, 2006, 08:58:22 AM

Darn. Bringing in the bacon. I knew I forgot something. I left IBM a couple years ago, sold my great big house and moved into a little cottage in the country. I've been puttering at a variety of stuff since....... Animal control, tanning, bird houses,carpentry, painting, caning, ...... basically whatever interests me when I get up in the morning. Living cheep, having fun, learning new stuff, and hoping the stock market continues to cover the shortfall till .....

Posiedon, looks like that's just what I'll be doing atleast for awhile, just found out Friday that the 15th of August is my last day of being employed.

So, unemployment here I come, of course I'll have to do some side work because here in Missouri unemployment doesn't amount to much, but I should have plenty of time to hunt.

Sorry to hear that Bass, I wish you the best of luck
