I'm a middle-aged boomer who has an insatiable urge for knowledge.
Unfortunately this often leads to a state of general confusion and
diarrhea of the brain. Which results in a greater appetite for more stuff,
which leads to a state of general confusion and diarrhea............
Some of my past experiences include, born and raised on a farm, loader
operator, dynamite man and driller in open pit and underground
limestone quarrys. Built houses in high school. Graduate of the school of
"hamburgerology". I've also ran main frame IBM 360 and 370 series stuff back in
the late 70's.
Done a lot of nite club and mobile DJ'in. Probably 300 weddings and 200 proms
and
homecomings all over the midwest. From little parties with 50 people
to night clubs with $250,000 sound and lighting systems that ran 4-5,000 people a
nite
through the door. Built, sold, and rented DJ systems and speakers. Also sold
retail audio gear, alarms, insurance, 'bout everything but cars and
houses. Video producer/director/writer/camera. Even came in 3rd place in
a mayoral election. Set up a city government cable channel.
Customer service on civil aviation avionics installations. Collected and refurbed
John Deere Lawn Tractors. 108's, 110's, 112's, & a 114. 67-74's.
Had 5 at one time once. Partner in a computer store. Domestic engineer. Tournament
Blackjack. Also made a hole in-one. Thanks to the electro-shock treatments......
