I am a tech for a major grocery store chain. We work on everything in the store except the electronics (registers, phones etc)

If I can't fix it I can fix it so no one can fix it.

Where to start LOL...

My pic shows me as a firefighter/paramedic, I've done that on and off for 20 years. I've worked in human tissue donation (yes, I did some extremely gross things that I won't talk about here) I ran a large indoor skate park, owned a skateboard shop, worked in a vintage motorcycle shop for a couple years while in school, and just recently became an RN. It's been a busy time, but rewarding and also diverse. I'm ADHD and get bored easily lol.

Monkey? MONKEY? I'm a GORILLA you CLOWN!

I make tubular devices for turbines that force compressed air into automobile engines. Well that sorta sounds scientific maybe? :P Easy version, I fabricate custom turbo kits for cars, trucks, recreational vehicles and even the occasional boat. Been doing it for about 16 years to date.

seedless inspired Supra with Pyrex intake pipe and upper rad. hose.


V6 in 97 integra?..and it's turbo?? :blink: yup..


Equal length header for a 944.


A twin plenum, twin turbo kit for a 350z ready to ship to a customer.

Cheap labor isn't skilled, skilled labor isn't cheap.
1980 KZ440a. I went green.
If you yourself are building an older bike and can see it through till you're riding it, that's proof you have patience.

Time to Update;
After too many years as a Middle School Custodian in New Hampshire, (for one of the biggest idiots I ever had to tolerate as a boss) I finally landed a decent position with Sikorsky Aerospace Maintenance as the Tool Room Attendant at Boca Chica Naval Air Station in Key West.
Unfortunately, I had to leave my old LTD-1000 in storage in New Hampshire, but I am starting to shop around for a bike down here.

I'm an iron hauler. Have been for 4 or5 years now. Business is slow so I've been doing some remodeling jobs. Love scrapping, I mean I found my bike and many others in the scrap.

I was a gunsmith off and on for 20 yrs. Mostly security and BS jobs while "off". Got tired of the grab-asstic gun business, took advantage of the Sandy Hook gun panic and got my machinist certificate.

I'm now a manual production machinist for a biometric prosthetic limb company.

The best part of the new job is my boss is a gun and motorcycle nut. If I get tired of running something I'll bring up either subject and I'll get an extended break.
