... sorry I have no good pics of cleaning the bilges or working on the head system, or diving to untangle a line on the props....

Hey, those were exactly the jobs my father used to give me!!! That and cleaning and oiling the teak.

First jobs I did, and when my son came on the boat I made him clean the toilets first thing. This month I dismantled and cleaned two of the toilets. Everyday I am humbled, grateful and lucky, and I'm also very thankful for the life I live and the job I have. I spent 3/4 of a decade averaging $13K a year to get to where I am at.

what, there are no gynecologists on this forum ?

A picture of two of my rides, the kitchen, the lagoon on the golf course, and a snapshot of the whiteboard for temperatures and tide charts.

My official job title is "beachboy" at a country club. Not a half bad gig considering the facility is 100% new this year. The old building was almost 100 years old

Looks like a quality build. What rooms does it have? SF? Which direction does the front face?

This is me at work. Mostly I call people and figure things out and pay people to fix things and so forth.

Dang it! I rotated this pic on my storage place but it still is lying down on the job when attached here.

Most of you veterans know where I work.

Here is my cubby hole workstation:



On occasion, I get to deliver packages in one of Denny Hamlin's retired race cars:




But sometimes I'm at a station:
