    Interesting idea Ray. Keep those trains on-time.

    I'm a charity director, raising money to support elderly folks in trouble and I often act as a senior advocate to expose the people that attempt to con the elderly who have no reliable family or friends to depend on.

    The Admiral is a Red Cross certified swim safety instructor for infants and kids. Sort of like the cover of the Nirvana rock band album from 20yrs ago where the little baby is swimming underwater. She's also a pre-K school teacher.

    Retirement in a few years would be nice but the finish line seems to be moving....and then there's that pesky fuel bill for our beastly V-8 powered TikiHut ;)

    I work for an tier 1 automotive supplier, making engine timing systems. I am a mechanical engineer by degree but have mainly been in production and most recently quality. 

    working in the auto business is interesting, working in the powertrain side of things is very cool if you are a gear head. a good glimpse of what is coming ~3 years out.

    Worked at Kodak for 29 years, got laid off 6 years ago. Now manage a roll off dumpster company. The Admiral was laid off from Kodak last year after 31 years, currently job searching. Unfortunately we were both laid off before we were fully retirement eligible, so no health care or pension. I'm in the same boat as Tikihut (pun intended) finish line keeps moving.

    I am currently the Lead Electrical Instructor at a Nuclear Power Station for a large utility company.  Got my start 23 years ago as a grunt and worked my way through a development program and now I get to teach it to the new guys.
