Now that sounds interesting. I do a little amateur photography. I felt old the other day. I pulled out my old Minolta 35mm to see if she still works.

They are cholesterol/cardiac drugs.

No pics of the Z to post,

But she be stock '75 candy blue (resting in the garage on her center stand.) 9,085mi on the odo. Bike is mostly original xcept K/Q saddle. Not street registered since 1983. Still has original 4/4 pipes (rusted some) Lester Mag wheels and Goodyear raised letter tires from the 70's.
Looking to sell it come spring once I get the carbs cleaned, sync'd and rebooted. Will probably offer it for sale on the Worldwide Z-1 forum.
1-10 I'd give her an 8.6.

and I'll bet it still works doesn't it?

I work for a 115+ yo family business selling seeds. Retail or wholesale. Bulk or in packets. Golf Course, sports field, home lawn, garden. Grass, flower, vegetable, wetland, wildflower. If it's a seed that will grow in New England we probably sell it.

lol....it felt so good to stick it to "the man", until I looked again at the witholding box (over $50 bigguns). I still have to write them a check.

lol...I'll need a school bus full. Christopher and mom are doing great. Thx for asking.

In New York the best jobs with the least long term responsibility are civil service. Police, Fire, Teacher, Corrections etc. They all have good pay and awesome benefits. A Suffolk County Police Officer with 5 years on the job is making 100K with incredible benefits and can retire after 20 years and get 50% of their last two years salary. The private sector just can't keep up with that.

I work for a building materials company running one of their showrooms. It is an excellent company to work for and the money and benefits are pretty good.

If you can get a higher education do it. Of course professional jobs are the best, but there are many others that require at least a bachelors to get your foot in the door.

Since you did, do away with the witholding and there would be a helluva lot more interest in tax reform! Most folks have no idea what they actually pay. All they see is the Net.

Good to hear your kiddo is doing well

I'm an Aerospace Engineer by degree, an Instructor Electronic Warfare Officer by experience, and that gets me to the job I'm doing now: Operations Analysis for a defense contractor. "Operations Analysis" probably doesn't tell you anything, does it? Well, it consists of logistics analysis, campaign simulation, mission simulation, vulnerability analysis, and whatever else they happen to need a body for (like proposal writing).

I have a residential painting co. I have been painting since I was a little boy and now my father and I work side by side. It can be rather entertaining.

Next time on "American Painter"....



I am a student by day, and an IT person by night... I manage 8 servers remotely... Can be a problem when they are 100 miles away, and you need to push F8 for it to continue the boot...

it's automatic.

That is to funny. We aren't as bad as those guys. If it were that bad I would have left the business a long time ago. The guys on American Chopper take it to far sometimes. I kind of think that they do it up for the cameras.

IN the kitchen .....
