Default Health Insurance.

More specifically, middle management for several large health insurance carriers.

Lately, though, all of my productive time is being spent in the garage or on the road.

Wow! A good cross section of Americana here. Myself, was in a manufacturing finance end for major auto suppliers for 40 years. In the last 13 years chased cash from major customers. Turned the page in my life in 2006 and retired. Luvin' every minute of it.

Hey 61 vert: I would seriously renter the job market to get your job!

Mike Terry: I'm a "closet" MOPAR lover. My first car was a '53 4 door Plymouth Cranbrook.

66BlkBB: I'm doing what your doing and luvin' it!

Bluestripe67: Now, you're well rounded. Ya know, that plumbing experience you noted...I've acquired that recently. Found out there's only 2 things a plumber has to know:

1. S**t doesn't run uphill.

and

2. Payday is on Friday!

JohnZ: Always have been curious to know, with your MOPAR background, is their a MOPAR classic lurking in your future?

Thanks for sharing a little insight on this forum's group. Very diverse.

Regards,

Jim

Nope - I was born and raised on Chevys, and that's where my skills and loyalties still lie.

After working almost every day of my life since I turned 15 yrs old ( now 44 yrs old) in the residential and commercial building buisness I " semi-retired" late last year, started my own company along with my wife, who is just perfect for me , and now it seems like I'm busier than ever. I planned to do a lot of work on my cars but really havn't gotten around to it yet. Maybe some day soon.
