ive run a concrete block machine for almost 10 yrs now, sucks but pays the bills and the blasty bills lol
automotive body work, paint, restoration, customizing... pretty much anything that goes along with repairing a car.
i need to get some recent pics from the shop. we do vehicles from the 1920s all the way up to new ones. every once in a while we get boats and or boat parts, bikes, hell... even airplane parts. from mild to wild.
for instance we have 2 51 chevy pickups at the shop right now, one is completely stock (except for the color scheme, john deere green and yellow) and is getting done for a local guy. the other is getting done for a new orleans saints linebacker. custom frame, ls3 vette motor and trans, wild blue candy paint, and more new parts than i can afford in a year. i need to get recent pics...

Other- I'm a corrosion specialist for a pipeline company here in south Texas. Duties include the use of cathodic protection and coatings to prevent corrosion on the exterior of piping, and injecting corrosion inhibitors to prevent corrosion on internal surfaces.
My areas of responsibility are from Corpus Christi to San Antonio. The docks, transmission lines, tank farms, and terminals pretty much sums it up. It's a mix of office and field work, with LOTS of driving to do my field work. I try to stay out of the office as much as possible.

I build these. This one does assembly of bullets, which I have to test fire. Last week I put 4000 rnds through an M4 and M16, its a rough job but it lets me have my toys.
Mow yards, feed cows and other sh*t like that on my grandpas farm, and help my dad with engine work on older camaro engines

whats so bad about building those? just the test firing? intence looking machines.
It was partial sarcasm, partial truth. We deal in tolerances of 0.0005 on alot of our parts. Not exactly a bolt it together and go operation. The shooting part is sweet. The building of the machines would be alot nicer if our design office actually had any idea how things work on the machine, as apposed to just on the computer.
All in all I cant complain. I get to shoot guns, a company townhouse, and decent pay. Ill keep the job. I:I
