55 and retired (June first of this year). Prior life as an electronic engineer for a Naval Weapon Center for 32 years.

Retirement is friggin' great...should have done it right out of college.

People laugh when I tell them I use to have a mullet. They were cool back then(1980s-early 90s in Alaska).
I've made some lucky real estate investments and now I just sell used car parts to put food on the table

Must be nice flying around and not getting shot at for a change. Thanks for your service to the country.

I'm 50 and a flight deck designer for Boeing.

Jake,

I assume .454 Casull?

I wish my engine looked like that. Being able to swap gaskets is one thing, but having an impact on an entire vintage of cars and the engine's abilities is very impressive. Some are book smart and some can grasp a concept and improve on it. You do great work as I have seen in pic after pic and post after post.

My family is rural Misssouri and a shop like yours would work in a place like that, and you could shoot out your back door. Land is sure cheap.

Some days I drive a boat. Kingbird Charters :: Florida Keys Sport Fishing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OiSvLZdCi4 I am driving the boat then leadering the fish.

Some days I play Construction Coordinator, which means doing paperwork and babysitting contractors

I also write and publish a local weekly Food and Beverage Event Newsletter that is heavily wine based.
