I work as a mechanic in the agricultural and flower bulbs sector.
We build our own Bulb harvesters, planter and more.
Best thing is that I can do a lot at work if I need special tools!!!

 I am a Nissan Master mechanic, been with them since 1979. I am not really too interested in cars unless they are very old or very fast. I have a Mighty Mite, an Isetta and a Greenbriar. The KX500 of course is my favorite toy, fastest too.
  If I could figure out how to make a lucrative living in automotive restoration, that appeals to me. Seems to me the wealthy types want a Foose or Coddington ( RIP) type restoration and the rest cannot afford to pay. Guess I will keep pulling wrench for the French.
Spring is here and the Mighty 500 wants to ride.

Director of IT for all systems, data, recovery, and all that falls beneath it for a large pharmaceutical company. So, I basically just sit around, make sure people do their jobs, do power point files, and go to meetings.
