what do you do for a living?

Glen,
Us cutter guys call those HH-65 dolphins "Whistlin Shitcans" They all sound like they are ready to come apart, very distinct sound. My hat is off to those guys, they do some daring stuff.

You guys play in my backyard all the time, almost as much as I do.
Is that PV or SB in the background?

Next time you buzz up past Channel Islands and Ventura, wave!

I hear it's a sweet station. We're pretty fond of our local guys. 11th district rocks, with the exception of Section San Diego/Pt. Loma cutter. They t-boned me in the middle of the night on an Ensenada Race return delivery of a very expensive Andrews 56...

I've worked 30 years in manufacturing for an S&P MidCap 400 biomedical instrument company as site manager for a $7 mil per year in-house printing and label converting operation. It's a turn-key business, from customer service, estimating, electronic prepress, offset, flexo, high-speed digital print and CD-R duplication through support, quality and shipping functions.

The upside… it's like having my own business with budget, staffing and P&L responsibility and I'm well positioned for a management buyout. The downside… until that opportunity presents itself, if it ever does… I'm strapped to the corporate politics and initiatives.

Its been a good career ...

On the side, I've spent the last two years designing and testing a mechanism that will serve the home improvement industry… and soon will be seeking a patent and potential market acceptance.
