Been in banking since the early 80s, on the commercial side the last 25 years. I get to work with manufacturers, cool to see and learn how things are made. Lucky to be with a 3rd generation family owned bank. I've been in the big bank world too and a locally owned bank is so much nicer to be a part of. Very rewarding to drive around town and see projects and companies that I have partner with.

but was a printer for 23 yr, a part time farmer for 30+ yrs,(still do some now, but more of a hobby) ran a gun shop for little over 10 yrs, firearms instructor for about 25 + yrs ,(still some what active there) do mostly range work now! for free!
explosive's lic for a while too, so played with that stuff as well , both for fun and as a business!
LOL
also did side construction running Heavy equipment, dock worker for about 8 yrs for Roadway unloading trucks, was /am an insomniac all my life and tended to have 2-3 or 4 jobs at a time most of my life,
I figured if I couldn;t sleep might as well make money for hobby's?? so 80-100+ hrs a week, most of my life, yet managed to take a lot of time off for hobby's, had a crazy life mostly I think to most folks
work now when I feel like it and health allows, not as much as I would like however!

I have had many jobs. In 1982 I sailed with Jacque Cousteau on the Calypso. He promised me I could go diving with him but I only got to scrub barnacles off his crappy old boat so I quit. And to think John Denver wrote a song about that old scow. Then I got a job on the set of The Blue Lagoon. I was Christopher Atkin's stand in in the swimming scenes with Brooke Shields. Atkins was allergic to water and would break out in a rash when he brushed his teeth so swimming was out of the question for him. After that I hitchhiked around the country until I found a job driving a garbage truck in Roswell, New Mexico. I got lost lost on my way to the dump and I was low on gas so I just dumped a load of garbage out in the desert. I got fired from that job too. Somehow the garbage got famous though. Then I moved to Montana and became a dental floss farmer. I had a contract with Johnson and Johnson and sold them all my floss. This was going good but then the floss vermin set in and my floss was ruined. After that I invented 'The Grub Cube'. I made the mistake of getting drunk with some guy named Rubic and he stole my idea and got rich. I was pretty good at inventing stuff by now so I invented a magnet that picked up aluminum. I sold that to the KGB for 3 million dollars and am now retired.
