I own a Manufacturing Company that specializes in protective doors - primarily acoustic and blast doors. I own a second Company that makes metal roofing for high end applications. Neither sounds exotic but they pay the bills and gave me the opportunity to stand on the roof of the White House and say "damn we made this in little old Greensburg".

I am in the software business. I take the cash that that business throws off and invest in real estate, either specs or syndicated real estate investment deals. I have also been a sales guy for a software and automation company and worked in a paper mill (which is the primary focus of the applicaiton I sell today).

I am always looking at new business ideas as well. Sort of like planning your next hunt.

I also write as a hobby, although i do get paid for it. My goal is to retire at 50 if I feel like it and then write full time. Writing is fun, but the pay sucks.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

I am a full time booking agent, I book hunts world wide...

I retired some 15 years ago from DEA and the US Forrest Svce as a special investigator...during that time I was in many foriegn countries and started booking hunts part time ( actually full time) for friends as a result.. I always booked deer and elk hunts going back to high school for friends and family. I guided on my ranch and and on family ranches..I guided hunts for many years and the natural progression of things brought me to where I am today...My only wish is that I had gone full time from the beginning, but then I would have missed some exciting times..I now have a small place with acreage and roping horses and I rope with my grandson and hunt to stay active.

At 70 I have to work at staying in some simbulance of shape!! When I rope all day, the next day even my eyebrows hurt...Its a good life, and I wouldn't change a thing...I have always made it a point to stop and smell the roses on the way..

Actually the "Dean of Discipline" title is old family joke that came out of a very bad job interview I had one time.

I'm really a double-dipper retiree. 1st as a USAF Weather Officer and 2nd (recentely) as an Environmental Scientist with a Special District in LA County and as I've reached the age of 62 years and 10 months I will soon be a "triple-dipper" as good old Social Security steps.

YAHOO !!

You'd be amazed at how Idaho Falls has changed in 20 years, if you haven't been back for a while. I came to visit my brother-in-law at S1W - he left, and I stayed. Been happy ever since.

Spent a career working in R&D and chemical process automation for Union Carbide. Was Corporate Process Automation Steward when Dow bought the place and sent 8,000 or so of us away to other things. Fortunately, I was able to get some retirement out of the transaction.

Am currently a poor principle in an "itsy bitsy" consulting company specializing in the sustainment of benefits from process automation investments and make high quality knives of carbon, stainless, and damascus steels. (As the business climate for chemical and petrochemical companies has not recovered well, I hunt a lot in the fall. :>Wink
