Printing Salesperson for Sir Speedy Printing.  Just got back into riding my bike last season.  Love it all over again.  On a 96 KX250 paid 1500 bucks for it, best money I ever spent.

I am a processor for an injection molding plant.  I've been there for eight years and counting.  We make plastic conveyor belting.  Too bad we only do captive molding or I could be making custom fenders and other nice bike parts :-D

I have been in the marine industry for about 14 years. Got started right out of high school. Went to trade school but never used that knowledge to date. I have had the opportunity to work for OMC (Evinrude/Johson Outboards) for about 6 years. At OMC I was involved with Manufractioning of the marine engines and then moved on into research and development stages of the engines. Then moved on to Yamaha. I have spent 8 years at Yamaha. During my time with Yamaha I have been involved with providing technical support to our professional anglers, O.E.M partners and dealers. Currently a Technical Advisor on our Marine Products. To date Yamaha Motor Corp. is the best company to work for.  http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/products/lifestylehome/home.aspx

That's kewl!  Those were the days when all instruction from the conductors was relayed by hand/light signals.  Very cool.  Looks like quite a few of us play with heavy machinery. :-)
