Currently going to school, but I work for my dad growing hops. Drive the sprayer tractor in the summer, along with repairs and maintenance. In the fall I work night shift. 16 hours per night really sucks, but it keeps me out of trouble and I make good money.

         Six years with the US Navy (fresh out of high school) as a gunners mate. then onto working for the aircraft company's in Wichita KS. Got so board there, moved on to TWA airlines when they went belly up I took the buy out. started rebuilding VW's and Corvairs. After a few years of that dead end job decided to become a machinist and do outside work for the aircraft company's in Wichita Ks again.  I Bought a couple of cnc machines and It went like wild fire for the 1990 then 9-11 hit and the bottom fell out. Came back in 2005 and now the bottom falls out again.  Just a waiting for the next bit up swing.  What go's around comes around again.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I work at a small business that builds automated industrial equipment, or whatever we can do to stay busy!  We also have a couple product lines, a remote control fire nozzle for fire trucks, and a security device.  We do a lot of R&D for startup projects, and also build some medical equipment.  On the side I help farm.
