how about a little background from all

I figure it's kinda interesting to know what site members do so I started this thread to give us all a chance to share, it could be useful for all and interesting to see how varied a group we are. I myself do everything there is involved in concrete from production to placement and finishing. I work for a small concrete company, I am mechanic, electrician, concrete mixer driver, laborer, fabricator, batch plant maintenance etc. I do custom stamp concrete to commercial jobs. When things go smooth it's fun but when things go wrong my phone rings and i gotta go like if a mixer goes down on the highway loaded with 9 yds of crete it's up to me and whitecity another member to drop everything and go repair or recover truck or make repairs to batch plant the concrete needs to be made to make money. I'll also add whitecity is very marine knowledgeable as well as mechanically inclined. So i guess I'm a jack of all trades a master of none lol but love what i do.

I haven't decided what I want to be when I Grow UP. :D NO wait - I know "retired". I've been in heavy industry most of my life. A mechanical helper, a oiler, a fork truck operator, a millwright, a welder, a burner, a electrician, a sub foreman, a Forman, a planner, an expediter, crane operator, maintenance supervisor at a water park, purchasing person, Wow 40 years goes fast. :rolleyes:
Bailey - are you taking resumes?
I respect the trades.
Looks like rain all day & into the night probably gonna be a lot of BS on there today. Work all week and weekends been sucky. :mad:

im a union bricklayer/caulker/waterproofer for 20years before that I was a industrial painter and now trying to be a better walleye fisherman im getting there thx to this site

Electrical lineman for 40 yrs./Retired now. Perfer the retired part, I get to chose the type of weather I go out in & the time of day/night I go out in it! Many storms & bad weather over 40 yrs. Now I fish, hunt, & watch the grass grow. :)

Lineman what company were you with? Nyseg by chance

Did ya ever work with a guy named tim who moved up here from norwich ny always full of fun life stories like doing the hell riders show he used to be kinda a wild man lol

Not that I remember but we had a few guys from norwich maybe we worked diff. areas.

I know he bounced around a bit line crew, summerset but now doing meters and turn ons out of lockport. Never know you may have bumped into him it's not a huge company in the area.

The other thing is I don't remember what I had for dinner last night, & the wife claims I would forget my head if it wasn't attached ! :rolleyes: lol

Your wife sounds like mine. And probably all others. Just don't forget the bait and gas.
The wives & girlfriends probably have a site of their own. The go on it like we do here but they plot against us. It's probably called " Wives & Girlfriends of Walleye Fishermen". Or something like that. :rolleyes:. They call the wind gods on weekends, rain gods, etc.:( it's been working for them lately.
