Occupation, what do you do?

rock,roll,n,load
Just wondering what some of you guys (and gals) do to earn the $$$$ to pay for this not so cheap hobby that we have!!

I was a machinist by trade, courtesy of Uncle Sam. I picked up my trade in the Navy (Lifemember V.F.W. Post 7687), served my apprenticeship and worked for an Aerospace company for the last 25 years. Retired last February and enjoying life ever since.

My wife runs a lab for an analytical testing company doing materials testing and analysis.

We have 4 kid's, 3 girls and a boy who all par-take in shooting sports of one kind or another.

So, there's a little background on me.
Anyone else?

    I drove truck for 16 years.

    Now I live off all of your tax dollars![:D][:o)][:o)]

    Truthfully I do live off of my VA disability and my SSD supporting myself and my 2 kids as a single parent. So I do work! Being a single stay at home dad is tuff work.

    But other than that I do alot of shooting.[:D]

    Retired LEO. But I bought enough realestate while working that the rent I get is more than my retirement. Now I'm ready to sell all that stuff and get really retired.

    I'm the VP of the US. I shoot people in the face while hunting. Excuse me while I read a memo to the president and tell him what to do. We both are not very busy today. Congress is mad at us and we are trying to make any kind of friendship we can in washington or anywhere. George says Hey to all you GB guys and gals.
