What do you do for a living?

[Calicronic]

Karrdick's post about doing your own work made me think. With the amount of people here on the site it's good to know what others do, regardless if it's motorcycle related or not. You never know when you are gonna need a certain type of service. Since I brought it up I will start:D. You don't necesarily have to put what company you work for as that may be viewed as advertising so maybe just your trade?

I work for a fire suppression company that does everything fire related. Alarms, sprinklers, fire suppression systems(restuarants, vehicles, heavy equipment, paint booths, etc...), fire extinguishers, and commercial DOT testing. My trade is pretty specialized, so doubt I will be able to help many of you out, but for the business owners that need extinguisher's serviced or need annual inspections done im your guy...lol.

I am a mechanical design engineer and right now I am designing packaging machinery, automated assembly line stuff. We use primarily SolidWorks 3D design software and I have just obtained my CSWP certification at the last SolidWorks world held in San Deigo this year. I am also very proficient with other design software platforms, Autocad 2D & 3D, Anvil 2D, VX Cad/Cam and with the software that controls the CNC's and the laser here @ work, Pro cam and Sigma nest.

If you have some ideas for a mechanical project and need some stuff laid out and drawn up I'm your man. Where I work we fabricate 95% of our parts in house and I have some access to the shop which makes working on my own projects nice.

Right now the only real project that I have going is stuffing an independent rear suspension out of an Rx7 underneath a 91' Toyota extra cab pickup. I have been drawing up the 4-link rear forever and as soon as I get into my new house w/ a new larger garage the project can finally begin!

Ha, very close but no cigar. I live and work out in Sanger, not Fresno, that should be the clue that you need. I don't think the guys over @ Elliot get to do the R&D design work that we get to do here, for better of worse (R&D is only fun when it actually works!) and I don't think they have a cutting laser yet either but I'm not to sure? They definitely don't offer wrap-around style machinery, which is what I've been lucky enough to specialize in for a few years now. Although now I am working on an intermittent motion auto load machine that has to stuff 100 sheets of sandwich wrapping wax paper into a box and close it, talk about a brain burner!

Up-right huh? My manager and a few co-workers were engineers over at Up-right until they closed down. Well he used to be my manager any ways, we just got a new one.

Yes I noticed all of the metal working tools that you had made available on the tools sharing thread and thought to myself, hmmmm... I wonder what programmes he is controlling that CNC plasma cutter with, Ha. Oh yes, very very very cool of you to make any of your metal tooling devices available to us as well, Thanks bunches. If you ever need any help in picking new software to run your stuff I was just exposed to the latest and greatest @ the Solidworks World thingy. They had almost a fair like midway of vendors showing off way cool new stuff!

Oh no, please do! You have had a similar project? Loading sheets of paper into a box is a real bi+ch! Actually this one shouldn't be to bad, we have a similar machine running already, they just want another one to run a larger paper size, oh and faster of course.

it was done 12/3/07 and I can ride some just not to far and when I hit a bump it hurts like **** and when I do wash the bikes I have to rest for a few hours/ days so I can ride them. I have Norco's to help wash them but I don't like to ride with there help ...LOL...
A norco and cold beer = a kinda clean bike ....LOL...

now Swankster I think we meet up on 245 last year ?

Its NOT good to have more metal in your back than your bike! :eek:

When I lived in Visalia in the 90's, the pastor of our church had some BIG screws in his back from years of plaster work.. they eventually ended up taking his back out... he kept them and would show them off

I dont know.. I know he said he felt better after they removed them, he had less pain...
I think they replaced them with some other sort of support but I dont remember, its been about 10 or 12 years I think...

I remember he carried the screws around in a container for a week or two showing them off when they were out... They were BIG screws!

They likely removed the hardware and fused that area.
I'm sure he has little mobility though.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to make light of your pastor's pain... but when I first read it, your post read like they took his back out... not that they took the screws out of his back...

Ah, shucks, feelin' silly, no one got my dumb joke...

Wow!
I dont have nearly that kind of back problem! I have trouble leaning over too far for the bars also due to back issues, but you have had so much more on your back I cant imagine what you go through on too much of a lean!

That's a lot of titanium in a bad spot.

I might have just as much with my artifical hip though.
