I'm a high school English teacher at an international boarding school. When the school got a big donation to open an engineering building, I shot an email to the head of school volunteering (based mostly on the decade I spent as a plumber before becoming a teacher and the decade before that of exploring the trades) to teach a shop-type class. Damned if they didn't take me up on it, and I've been teaching wood/metal/auto shop for the last couple of years.

Is this thing working? Is this thing on?

I was layed off Last September so I'm not doing anything, I had worked in hardware engineering for 45 years and decided to retire, but not until my unemployment $ runs out, is this a great country or what, the government pays me $5K a month to do nothing, and I am damn good at it. The party will be over in 13 weeks and then I'll just get my SS check.
Hey, I didn't make the rules, I just play by them.

I deliver food for a local place - pretty decent money, considering I get to do what I love. I'll need to move on someday but for now it's enough. 

I started on the 750, but now that I have the 305 reliable it's a perfect little workhorse. Tight turning radius, too slow to get in trouble, and 50mpg wringing the throttle at every light. 

I'd like a more attractive box sometime though...

Nice setup.
 In the past I have responded to fire scenes  with my turnout gear strapped to the back of my Kaw 1000. LOL  Quite a bundle  

Hope you make it Saturday for our meet up

For me, work is just a hobbie my true occupation is real estate  making the house mortgage payment, and upgrading my playground in the back yard. sometimes I ask myself " What the hell was I thinking?"
