Given my humor was not understood I didn't think too many would know what an aglet was so I used a common understandable term. It is a technical profession after all with its own jargon that can be confusing to those outside the craft.

57 years young.
I work in the commercial roofing industry.
Drive a 2001 Arctic Silver Boxster on the weekends.
(and a 2015 Infiniti Q60S during the week)
This is my second Porsche.
The first was a 2007 Cayman S that I drove off the showroom floor.
(that was a great day!!)

Turned 49 today. National director at a cancer charity (LLS). '98 w/50K. Before: '66 911. My first car was a '63 356B. Sold it to stay in school. Biggest mistake I ever made. Boxster eases the pain nicely.

I thought I had already read and posted in this. Now I see why... Here's the other thread:
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/49432-what-your-job-11.html
It fills in a bit of the hiatus this thread took.
