Professionally, I am a California Real Estate Broker. I've specialized in the sale of businesses for the past 30 years. Now, I only do deals in business and real estate for friends and family.
These days I have a job. It's my first real job working for the man. I got it when I was 50, and I go there everyday, but mostly I just loaf a lot. |

I'd like to retire. For now I'm just tired,LOL. I have been a flight instructor/corporate pilot for the past 30 years. I figured if I wasn't going to make a lot of money I should enjoy what I do. Right on both counts.

Well, my job changes on Monday. I worked for 17 years for Grumman aircraft, which evolved into Northrop - Grumman. Then ... It turned into Vought Aircraft. ( I know there are other sites in Nashville, Dallas, Milledgeville Ga, Hawthorne Ca, and my location in Stuart Fla.)
I left 3 years ago when they were going to close the Stuart plant and move us to Dallas. I still had kids in school and the wife has a great job here we didn't want to lose. So, I worked for the local property appraiser for the county. Then, after talking to my previous managers, I am heading back to Vought. They are still busy and talk of going to Texas is no more. If I can get a road trip I will contact all Texas Kawanowers for a possable meeting! I worked for a part of the manufacturing engineering group. I also worked in the inspection dept and as a production mechanic too. Now that I bored you with my long-winded explanation that is what I do!

What's your profession?
I do maintenance for the regional schoolboard here now, Ive have quite a few jobs over the years from driving trucks to building trucks, I looked after parts and service for the largest tow truck dealer in Canada, and was a product manager for assorted hydraulic and phneumatic parts. I also worked for Canada Post for a few years, and built office furniture at Steelcase years ago. I seem to get bored after a few years and start looking for something else. Now the only thing Im looking for is retirement.

Hey Nomadman. How much does one of those cost? In Euros, or US dollars? How about the fuel economy;?
It is very nice looking, I am impressed. Any chance of them coming to the US market?
