Well, my turn I guess. I am a heavy duty equipment operator. I run dozers, back hoes, tripple 7 cat dump trucks(similar to the international paystar model), graders, rollers, and whatever else I need to. We are currently building the runway at Greensboro, N. C. for the new Fed Ex Hub. Two years ago we hauled dirt for a year for the building pad for the hub. It has been so wet here since Christmas we haven't worked since the Thursday before Christmas. What does rain and red dirt make? MUD! That's about it for me. I love my work and the pay is good and I have been modeling all my life. I have a couple more years until my retirement at 62. Thanks guys, it seems as though I know all of you better with these posts. Hope to meet more of you at shows. Ratrodder Doug Harrell
