For the past 32 years I've driven a dump truck. Bought my own in 84 and became a owner operator. Between the goverment and the cost of diesel I would like to retire but can't afford it, yeah thats funny can't afford to do it and can't afford not to do it.

Im a Glazier by trade.(LU-1009-N.J.)--I wrap skyscrapers in metal & GLASS!-been the 24yrs. as journeyman & served a 3year apprenticeship!,-I owned Fastlane Motorwerks for 7yrs. We did all car & bike Machine-operations. Car-stuff was mostly Hi-Perf. stuff. I had the Biz. while working full-time as a Glazier.-It got to be to much,-Sold the Biz. & kept 10 of my best customers. I have been out of work for over 3yrs. now since the recession hit!,I landes a Full-Time Machinist job & as luck would have it --Sandy washed the building away!-(I got 3 weeks in).So now I work 2-nights a week at a friends shop doing custom machine-work ,Mostly on JAP-CRAP, They build go-fast bikes & Drag-bikes. & Biz is SLOW!--So I do whatever I can to keep the bills paid!---Richie 8)
