    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.

      Retired157 I’m a retired prof and research manager and have been retired for 28 years and I’m so busy I wouldn’t have time to go to work now. Sure hope the USA border opens so I can go to Alaska and fish for sockeyes this coming July

        Retired small town Police Chief (30 years) Also own and operate Security business installing security cameras, access control and alarm systems. I had to take early retirement due to medical issues. Now enjoy the forums and making all types of snack sticks, sausage, brats and anything else I can put into a smoker. I just recently finished converting a large commercial refrigerator into a smoker.

                ND Mike yeah I’m working 12hr nights and saw this. So I reread the whole thing and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. At least it’s off to a good start. 👍

                                      mfrievalt congrats on your retirement. Small town cop is a whole different game. I grew upnin a small town and it can be very political depending who thinks they run the town.
