    calldoctoday I’m amazed you remembered so much about a place from 20 years ago. I’m working a 12 hour night shift tonight and was glad to hear from you.

    cdavis Well, I am certain I have left out a number of things, but it is easy to remember a place & assignment that I enjoyed so much. Of course, on the other hand, I seem to be able to remember things better from 40 years ago or more than five minutes ago. Don’t work too hard tonight. Dave

      I’m always curious what everyone does for a profession in these groups. It is always cool to see how diverse we are. I am a State Trooper and have been since 2007. Prior to that I worked many years in home construction and taught second grade right out of college.

        I worked for a railroad for 30 yrs. I worked my way up to a Signal Supervisor and retired with the title of Project Manager for a major project called East Side Access. My screen name for many BBQ sites is Retired RailRoader. I use my name here since I watch all of Walton’s Livestreams and Podcasts on YouTube and if I should win anything on Walton’s it’s just easier to say I’m here on the Libestream.

              I served in the USMC from 1966-1970 then work R&D for GE HealthCare in Milwaukee. Moved to Colorado and worked for Toshiba and Panasonic as a field service rep for 32 years. Got laid of at 56 years of age in 2004! Started a new career with the City of Aurora, Colorado in 2006 working in the Water Dept. PIO office division of Water Conservation. I am now retired for 7 years; everyday is Saturday! Love Walton’s and the entire Meatgistics community. Hope to be able to move back to Wisconsin (Up North!) this coming year or so.

                        After High School I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. In 1986 I was lucky enough to join Dayton PD and did 32 years as a LEO. I retired as the Violent Crimes Bureau Commander. I’m now working in the private sector doing police/security training for a large Healthcare network. Life is good.

                          Soon to be retired home inspector. Looked at thousands of properties over the past 22 years. Seen lots of stuff, but I can’t recall seeing anything like the cool stuff I’m seeing on this site.

                                  I’m actually a chemical processor, we make organic peroxides… on the side I do the meat processing and working on opening a business to expand doing it, slowly accruing all the better equipment. I’m 30 years old, so there’s time but I’m getting good at the Processing!

                                      Got into computers in high school. Joined the navy and spent 8 years of which 6 1/2 years as a computer operator and programmer. Got out and was in IT until I retired 7 years ago. I’ve been hunting and fishing since I was a kid. I’ve been bow hunting since 84 and am still slinging arrows at deer except I’m now using a crossbow. I’m also a woodworker and photographer. I’ve been smoking meat for most of my life and have just started making some snack sticks using casings. Life has got to be great when everyday is a Saturday!

                                          I’m retired Air Force, went overseas and worked as a contractor for a little while after I retired. I took a few years off after having my second spinal fusion to just heal and relax. I work at a small family owned business in sales now and really enjoy what I do.
