I used to work in the import and distribution business of consumer consumables. With experience in investments and finance.

Now I work for a foreign company on U. S. soil making a product to ship to Mexico to be assembled and then shipped to Canada to be installed in Japanese vehicles sold in America.

Over-the road trucker to owning my own trucking company. I have
been retired for the last 10 plus years. I seem to be doing more now than when I was working. I don't have enough time in the day for
all the fun things to do. I am still crazy for Corvettes.

Thanks , I worked in the steel mill as an overhead craneman for ten years and 25 years running the business , so I thought it was time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of hard labor. Turning 65 in December.

Is that your way of saying "Dang! There are a lot of old farts on here!"?

I'm close to retirement "age". Doubt if I'll be able to retire when I get there though...

General Practice Attorney since 1998. Plan to retire behind my desk when the good lord decides I have had enough. Until then the expenses will keep me motivated to get up and go to work in the morning.
