Too bad they don't make those things in 100,000 to 200,000BTU size, for households.oros35 wrote:Nuclear Engineer.

I like it that we have a nuke jockey burning anthracite.
When oros35 switches over to heating with the juice he's making, I want to hear about it!

I had a Grey myself. It hated me. Would bite through my shirts and skin. Then I started thinking: This stupid bird is going to be alive when my grandchildren are retired ! I gave it away.

And, so it is. After 3 years of being self employed I'm going back to health care full-time starting next week. I'll be sterilizing surgical instruments which is what I did for 23 years. This time I am only in charge of myself however. No more management for me. It has taken almost 2 months since I first started this process, including 4 interviews totaling 10 hours, to get this job. I was also there this past Friday for another 4 hours getting blood work, drug tested and a physical which revealed I can't see or hear too well. I'll still be doing the machinist/gunsmith stuff on a limited basis. I can't give that up because I do enjoy it . Just doesn't "pay" enough and the benefits kinda stink as well.SuperBeetle wrote:I am a self employed machinist/gunsmith.

Retired steelworker from U.S.S. also did a lot of other jobs when the mills closed in the 80s but finally got back in one & lasted long enough the get the pension. Now if I could only figure out how to live off of it!
