Post by: hummer on April 06, 2005, 04:43:44 PM: My bankers refer to me as a real estate investor. I own investment propertis, mostly single family homes. My business partner and I were in the car, truck, motorcycle and snowmobile business for nearly 20 years. Then our local economy when down the toilet, people were dropping off their house keys at their banks and leaving town to find work elsewhere. We stuck around and bought up their houses, hoping for a turnaround. It took a few years but finally turned around. We do our own work. I do mostly the administrative work and my partner does most of the maintainance and repairs. The good news in this career is there are a lot fewer hours working than in retail [smiley=laugh.gif]. The bad news is sometimes water heaters break on Saturday night [smiley=nixweiss.gif].

I guess I may be the only cop in this group? I am a detective in a small Colorado town. I pickup my Autumn Haze Ultra on 04/06. I also plan to attend the Cripple Creek event. It isn't too often you get a group like this in your backyard.

Actually, there are several law enforcement types on this board from city, county, state, and federal levels as well as private security.

Post by: Eqcons on March 11, 2006, 07:12:39 AM: Made lots of different attempts at a "respectable" career after leaving school, none worked. Eventually I became a Quality Assurance Engineer (mainly in the Oil Business) and got to travel the world doing that for 15 years; then the Personal Computer came along (thanks IBM!) and it and I became close friends, so for around the last 20 years or so, I've been running my own company selling, installing and servicing computers and all associated items. From that, I'm not sure what my occupation is! ;)

Oh, except in my spare time: I'm an amateur gynecologist.

I posted the links to refer them back to original post/thread (which now has been incorporated into this thread) if they wanted to sift thru them and find out what member had which occupation. Also you are limited to 6000 characters per post, and that first post is already meeting that limit, so I'm trying to keep it to a minimum as much as possible. Plus this way if one was to read the other threads, they may find out person is in there area, what they ride, and possible what they look like if they have there picture in avatar as you and I do.

So, everybody still has that picture in their mind when they think of Alabama, and Birmingham specifically. So far, it's a well kept secret, but word is getting out. They're building 350K+ houses around me like there's no tomorrow, and selling them as fast as they're completed. Shelby County (just South of B'ham) experienced 20% growth in the last year. Too many rats in the tank man....

Mountain Brook is a beautiful old area of B'ham...it's where all the rich folk lived when I was growing up, and it's still that way...there are some nice homes on some true "estates"...lot's of big trees, shady lanes....good place to ride, actually.

Hey, I'm with you. I've never seen self employment as glamorous or luxurious.

I had a part-time business myself for a while, until my supply chain dried up. I tell you, the first time I presented an invoice and got a check was a feeling like I've never gotten from an employers' paycheck. That feeling (to me at the time, anyway) offset the late hours and hassle.

I can't check their numbers unless they are hired employees. If I hire them, then I am in violation proposed immigration laws. They better clean that up before they pass any new laws. You're right, it does feel good to sign the check. Also, "at will" employment is the best way to handle most of the issues.

First off in regards to Naitram's comment. We should all be writing our politicians and demanding they DECREASE the guest worker quota and not increase it. Bill Gates et al: love this because your average qualified Asian guest tech worker will (just as his unskilled Mexican counterpart) work for less money than a similarly qualified American (of any ancestry)

Next, Bush has it all wrong. The Mexicans don't want the jobs most Americans aren't willing to work at. I live in SoCal and I see illegals working as Carpenters, Plumbers, Electricians, Welders, Mechanics etc etc They will work for $15 an hour and no benefits. They start out mowing lawns and move up to these jobs as their friend and relatives do. Which is the American way, BUT, they never become legal because they're afraid of being deported. And there-in lies my complaint. Illegal is illegal is illegal.

I own my own business. Retail home furnishings, and cabinetry for the kitchen & bath. I was a carpenter all my life (been self-employeed 33 years). The store is in San Jose, as well as a 7,000 page web-site selling home furnishings all over this great country. http://www.willowglen.com
Could use any business, as the economy has me way, way down. I just rolled $170.00 in quarters (see my story about the Wisconsin quarters somewhere in this sector) and will cash them into cash at the bank. This is for the gas to Cripple Creek.

Post by: Puzzled on June 03, 2006, 08:21:14 AM: I'm a 16 year self employed secondary heating contractor. What that is is, sales, service and installation of chimneys, stoves and fireplaces. I started out slinging mud and building everything out of brick and mortar. Now it is all pre-fabricated stuff and electronics.

With the constant rise in fuel costs it keeps me busy. My business has the opposite season of most. I'm real busy all winter and slow in the summer. I've learned to save during the winter and enjoy the summer with as much riding as I can get in.

As stated elsewhere in this thread there are ups and downs of being self employed but at this point I don't know if I could handle a "real" job. After being the one in charge for so long and telling like it is (my way) it would be hard to listen to some college grad wet behind the ears.

So if any of you ride with me through a residential area and you see me looking at roof tops, I'm looking at chimneys and writing mental estimates or admiring craftsmanship. :)

Post by: Garznhogs on June 08, 2006, 10:58:11 PM: When I find a contractor that shows up, understands what's needed, does the work on time, and everything works when he's done, I use him for everything I can. Then the condomaniacs start wondering if I'm getting a kick-back because I use the same contractor all the time... "Why don't you go out for bids?" I invite them to suggest some companies, and once they try, it shuts them up. I make sure my contractors make money on the jobs they do for me. And treat them as kindly as possible. Just so they'll keep coming back. I've still got Hurricane Wilma damage from 10.24.2005, and it didn't do much damage to us. [smiley=soapbox.gif] Tomorrow's Friday. Thank God.

Big B, I would have sworn you were going to say the coincedence was you filled them.

I'm not much on games Rog. Motorcycles since I was like 12 or 13 and sports in High School and College but always motorcycles. My wife and I used to like to go to this arcade near our house and play skee ball and Whack-a-mole but that's about it.

Do I detect a bit of thin skin on hard10 ? Dude, so long as it's not illegal or immoral, I don't give a damn how you earn your money. This site is about Harley's and riding and making friends. I've never been a fan of this thread since it was started so I pick at it. To me it's not what the site is all about but anyway, No offense intended.

Jim,

Welcome to the best site for real riders that you will ever find. Glad to see another Big Red rider on the board! Yes, my wife & I try to make and/or volunteer the MDA rides every year...sponsored by the Frontier chapter over here in Lincoln. I also am a member of the Patriot Guard. Do you know Craig Kelley from Omaha? He gets on the board here for abuse once in a while....after all he is an attorney. ;D We need to get together for a ride.

Hi, my name is Howie, my CVO Bros and Sis's call me Hoist. I mostly sit around the house and post chit on the CVO website. When the weather is nice, I ride one of my three Harley-Davidson motorcycles. But not too far since I don't have wireless yet and I can't be away from my laptop for long. My wife moved me into the garage about 5 years ago. It's ok, since I have my bikes and the furniture she was gonna toss out after she tossed me. It gets cold in the garage sometimes in the winter and it's hard to type so I start up my bikes and let the exhaust heat up the garage. I guess that's why I am having these fainting spells lately. I don't normally go on this long in my posts on the site, but this seemed like a nice thread to open up a bit.

Actually B B, this is what I did, and will be doing, in real life!

I've been an Executive Sales Engineer for 2 of the 3 major A/C and Chiller Manufacturers (York and Carrier) for the last 25 years. Chillers are large tonnage air conditioning pieces of equipment. I'm now going to work for an Air Conditioning contractor, that a friend of mine started a Chiller Contracting and Maintenance division at about a year ago. So I'll be my old Co's customer now! Payback's a bitch, huh! But I don't burn bridges, have a good relationship with everyone, and will be working closely with them in my new position. My friend Jimmy can't go any further building this business alone, and I'll be his right hand man now, and provide most of the sales, so we can start growing the business together. Eventually, my friend will move up to help run the whole Co, and I'll move up and run the Chiller group. Great opportunity, and I'll be working with very nice, stand up people for a change. Not these Corporate Peter Principle idiots I've been around the last 25 years!

Site torturer (or contortionist) is much more fun though! ::) ;D ;)

When I retired from the Navy I went to work for Denso, an auto part manufacture as a Maintenace supervisor. I lasted almost five years with them, but the 65 hour work weeks were to much for me, and the money was not equal to the work.

2.5 years ago I went to work for a Major Off Shore deep water drilling contractor. I am an electronics and Programable Logics Controler Tech. I really like this job, work two weeks, then I am off at home for two weeks. Pay is very good, and the work is not bad at all.

The past two years I contracted with L-3 Vertex Aerospace Contract Field Teams maintaining & inspecting AH-64A & D Apache helicopters for the US Army in Kandahar, Afghanistan. For the past several months I've been unemployed and just enjoying my new FXSTSSE2. But as all good things must come to an end, I will have to return to work after the new year.

I served 20 years in the US Navy. I was an electricain, and retired as an electricanmate Chief. The last four years in the Navy I was also an Adjunct Professor at Florida Community college teaching industrial electricity and controls.

When I retired from the Navy I went to work for Denso, an auto part manufacture as a Maintenace supervisor. I lasted almost five years with them, but the 65 hour work weeks were to much for me, and the money was not equal to the work.

2.5 years ago I went to work for a Major Off Shore deep water drilling contractor. I am an electronics and Programable Logics Controler Tech. I really like this job, work two weeks, then I am off at home for two weeks. Pay is very good, and the work is not bad at all.

Thank you for your service and Seasons Greetings...

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

It's interesting, I don't think many here (at least, among the respondents) are familiar with the term Investment Banker, or Investment Banking firm.

If I may... (without being tarred/feathered), out of curiosity, does anyone know the difference between a BANK, a BROKERAGE FIRM, and an INVESTMENT BANKING FIRM? And for that matter, any idea of the history?

No, Telemarketing is, well, Telemarketing. Multichannel prospecting could include TM but most folks shy away from this unless it's part of a two-step permission based follow-up for support and the like. Normally, Multichannel would leverage various components of TV, Space, Online, Direct Mail, Alternative Media, etc, as the conduit. CRM (Customer Relationship Mgmt) is the art of understanding and predicting customer needs, and developing the intelligence and infrastructure to automatically reach out to them with timely reminders, targeted recommendations, and incentives. For instance, if customer was a known maintenance DIY'er, a mfr could develop the entire parts list based on various statistical elements and have the entire kit prepared and ready for pickup or delivery. Due to the efficiencies across the enterprise, the mfr and retailer can pass on special savings to the customer creating a win-win. John Deere and Lands End are a couple of examples of those who do a pretty good job in this area. Harley on the other hand is pretty clueless. When you do it right, customers appreciate the convenience and embrace the experience. The key is to avoid paying good money to present an offer that's not relevant, timely, or appropriate to the individual.

I am an RN in CVICU (cardiovascular intensive care) in a 700+ bed hospital. Been there for 18 years, and looking forward to retirement this spring. Did a 4 years stint as high school English teacher back in the 60's. Other than that, I cover PlasmaMan's back on the road (he has the GPS).

OOOOPS!!! AGAIN, I have forgotten to log PlasmaMan out before posting. So sorry. The above post should have been from ME, Abbynormal. PM would be a disaster of the first degree in the ICU.

Maybe, maybe not... just imagine him showing up w/all his metal working tools (welding, cutting, etc) and telling a pt he has to establish a line in them. Can you imagine how many would be well real quick. Would give a whole new meaning to "shock therapy". :D :D

Thanks Spiderman, I appreciate the kind words. I truly enjoy what I do. I tell folks that I make everything but money and I guess that is a true statement. If anyone needs anything special made of metal for their bike, maybe I can do it for you at little or no cost. Keep it in mind.

Guess our department has had so many we just stay back (out of the hot zone) and watch... only get excited when we see the gas guys running around screaming.... then it's time to get worried. :nervous: Nothing like the sound of a leak in a high pressure line though it will definitely get your attention.

Dood. we sure appreciate it when Deptartments work with us, unfortunatley that has not always been the case...recently we had a department deny us access to the hot zone....they saturated the area with water (filled excavated hole with water)...I still had to go in with line pressure blowing and det my squeeze off tools to stop the escaping gas...only now I'm working in mud and water blowing,
That being said...most of the local depts are great to work with...the best ones ask what we need, what they can do assist....we normally like to have them charge a line and help establish a safe zone....and let us do what we do in the hotzone

Great.....you and Don (isellbulls) have something in common. He sells bull semen to the dairies (so all the contented Calif. cows are his step children). But don't ask me how he gets the bull's semen.....I don't want to know. :nervous:

Rich,
The heat is something you get used to, the humidity takes a little longer!
The best part of living down here is you can ride all year and only want heated clothing 5 days out of the year.
I don't use heated clothing and still lride.

Post by: Talon on December 08, 2009, 02:06:35 PM: Having lived in Florida, Virgina, and New Jersey a good part of my life, you do get use to humidity, but now living somewhere with low humidity, I don't ever want to go back. I would like to ride everyday, but also like the change of seasons. We usually get a lot of winter riding in, may be 60 one day and then snow the next day, just depends on the jet stream. If I did go for a no winter area, I still look for low humidity, then heat doesn't feel as hot, and the cold doesn't feel as cold.

The area they do all the happy cows commercals is in the Petaluma area, and all but three months out of the year they are in lush green pastures, it's only the cows in the valley area that are in small dry lots. I before getting started in cattle, I owned and bred quarter house myself.

You didn't have a stud for that?

:oops:

Sorry about that, you left the gate wide open. :o :o :o

In a previous life, included ex, my ex had been into horses all her life. When I met her in high school, she was doing the 4H thing and then she eventually got in to the AQHA circuit. My son, now 31, grew up on horses and did the 4H thing as well. About that time was when we split and I thought that as soon as my son had to do the poop scooping and horse cleaning himself, he'd drop horses like a hot potato. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he didn't. He's married and lives in De Moines IA and has his own training stable. He's been doing horse training since college. The only problem with the horse business is that this is all discretionary money for his customers and when times get hard, they quit the "extra" money stuff. He still has paying customers, but at one point he had all 18 stalls full, albeit I think three of them were his.

I bred a house once, spent the night in jail for drunken disorderly conduct for it too.

Cattle business has it's ups and downs. Never a whole lota ups. Tough way to make a living. Price of a good steak keeps going up but the price of beef on the hoof never seems to budge.

Horse business is funny. When times are bad, average horse flesh becomes a liability to have around. Really good horses with a proven track record always seem to hold value. I've been to all the sales at the NCHA Futurity this past week and you can't believe what yearlings out of the top studs/mares are bringing.

I worked for a guy back in the '80s that had a bunch of very good cutting horses. His stud's breeding eludes me know, but I know it's daddy was a World Champion. This guy's name is Jack Marvel and he lives in Rodney Michigan. I'm not even sure if he's still around in the cutting biz. He used to have Michigan events at his place back then too.

All I know is that when, in that previous life, we would go to the Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus every year, I'd always have to go watch the cutting and reining horses. In my mind this was more horse based than political. Although I'm sure some politics played into the reining but cuttings was more black and white, did the horse do it's job or not...

During the time I was around horses, I rode a bit and was Michigan Amateur Champion one year in reining (trust me I say my competition was worse than I was and I wan't very good). When I left that preious life I didn't want to ever sit my arse on another horse.

My son is keeping his head above water right now, but I can't see him every really getting rich doing this. But he does love it very much and I guess if you can do something you're great at and love it at the same time, I'm not going to rain on his parade.

You never know in the Horse Trading business. Last week I bought a Yearling stud colt out of the great Color Me Smart. The NCHA Futurity in Ft Worth has several sales. This little colt was very late in the auction and I gave $2200 for him. The seller was talking about $10,000 being what he figured he would bring during preview. I just got lucky that the one I was after was very late on the auction block and everyone was out of money :orange:

I'll probably make him a gelding and turn him into a Reined Cowhorse. I should be able to put a year on him and if he shows well get $10 - $12,000 for him. That is speculative, risky, a lot of work ...........I LOVE EVERY SECOND

Mikeytee: Yes i do travel over to Charleston Sc for 3 weeks a month and then either go home to Texas for a week or up to the main office in Everett WA. Yes Charleston is ecstatic on winning the new plant there. It's given the economy a big lift out of trouble! it's still going to be another 2 years before we launch one from the site there. The ground work is in progress now for the new facility. 610,000 SF hangar and several run stations. 6800 people will be employed there at the facility by the airport. It's going to be nerve racking for a while until they get all the traffic figured out and parking. I have been told I will be there until Dec 2010. but I was told in October 2007 that i was only going to be supporting down there for 4 months. Here it is Dec 2009 and I'm still there! lol!

Thanks to all for the support and comments on this great new plane!
