Well, the very first job I ever had was just before they took the, what do you call it, the, the, the, the, doggone, the jobs, doggone, from the children, you know, by making the lease. Making it illegal for a certain age to not be able to work. I was working for Stafford Bean Yards, doing green beans, pulling them off the vine, and you got paid by, by weight, and so on and so forth. The next job, let's see, the next job was Burley's Arco, we serviced, four service trucks, and I had my permit, and he put me in a truck and said, drive this, and I said, but I gotta have somebody in the car. He said, not today, he says, you're working with me, he says, I'm behind you, he says, if a cop pulls you over, I'll pull that right behind him and let him know what's going on. And then, my first car was a 50, 58 Oldsmobile 88, the first, I guess, the first time I ever learned 130 miles an hour. He's scared to whip right out of my palm. And let's see what this label do, he says. Anyway, he's gonna let me grab my man so I don't time out. I'll back this up with Mike Romeo. I worked the gold slot in the hard work plant, and we were doing a 196 inch panel, still hot from the press, and it had to be unstacked the first time, otherwise the mill had to shut down while we regrouped, and then our stuff would go over and go through the sander. That's when I went into the service, and that's because the oldest of eight children, and the latter, they came home, I didn't figure I was gonna be looking at doing too awful much education in the past high school, so I went in the service to get my VA benefits. And I've had about 75 jobs in my auto body industry as well. And with that, I'm gonna turn it back nasty so we can get almost some other check-ins. Alpha Echo 7 Mike Romeo back to KK7 Z-integral Alpha Echo 7 Mike Romeo. Well. Beep. Alright there Terry, sounds good. And I was gonna say, learning to drive, yeah, and me in 1959, dump truck, it was a big boy too, on the farm. Learned to shift the gears and all that, so by the time I hit the road, on a car, it was easy. So there you go, and I had something else, and yeah, I'm having that brain fart there Terry, but thanks for checking in, thanks for that, and have a great day, glad we got you guys in, check in, hook up to a waiter, so glad we got you in there. So I've got Phil and Ellen rechecked, so let me get Carrie first from Ireland. So I'm M0RKN from KK7 Z- And the question of the day, my first job was actually working as a travel agent, and I did this as a weekend job, and I loved the job, people phoning up to book the holidays, it was very enjoyable to the point that I almost quit university to do the job full time. But I did it in a Saturday and Sunday, and it was a steady wage, steady paycheck that I got each month while I was studying at university. At the time I was studying psychology, and yeah, then I don't know how it happened, but I ended up now working in the local government. Completely went in a different direction, but yeah, you know what it is, get mortgagee, end up with responsibility, get married and all of that as well, and get the bill today, so all of that, Kenny was out and out, and never looked for the work with the We're going through this forum, anyway it's a weather warning, we're getting quite stormy, it started about 10am this morning, and it's going to continue until at least 10pm this evening. So far the power has stayed on, and I'm really hoping it continues to, but anyway I wish everybody a great day there, take care everyone, 73 and all the best from Scotland, bye. Hey, well thank you for carrying in, I remember one of my early jobs, I worked at an airport parking lot and we had a travel agency there, and I remember the travel agency at that time, and then going back to the 1980's, they used to get to travel for free back in those days, because they were selling whatever they were selling, and of course businesses, hotels, airlines, one of them the Port of the Bay, and the other one was the So yeah, that sounds like it would be a fun job, I don't even know if those exist anymore, with today's do it yourself world, a lot of jobs have gone away due to that, so there you go, but thanks Gary, always good to hear you there, and let's go for Phil on a recheck, G0OBX from KK7Z. Thanks Joe for the recheck, I neglected to give a weather report, we're at 72 degrees F, dropped here on the Colorado Front Range under cloudless skies, going up to 94, looks like we're going to be in the 90's for the entire week, cooling off into the weekend. So yeah I heard musical bands pop and come up, so back circa 1983 I saw Neil Young at the Baltimore Civic Center, and I've seen a lot of bands over the years, but what was striking about this performance was, it was a solo.
