Hey DBBrown,
I'm in the Taos area and will be Javelina hunting down your way next month. Do you know a guy named Michael Mora? He is an old friend doing the same as you down there!

I work in a machine shop grinding small precision tools for mostly swiss screw cnc machines.
We make all sorts of things from dental equipment, medical and aerospace too.
I mostly work with wet grinders, t&c grinders, accu-finishes, optimas (for sharpening drills)

I'm a diesel fitter in a nylon factory. When a pair of nylons come off the line,
I hold them up and say "yeah, deisel fitter"! :roll:

But seriously folks I started programming computers in 1976 (GI BILL paid for my education). How many of you know hollerith code? In 1993 I was running a global network ofcomputers. IBM AS/400, Netware, Sparcstations on unix. That was the year I was diagnosed with MS. Worked two more years until I was fired. (ADA Has no teeth.)
Had to quit riding my Frankenstein Trike a few years ago due to balance and strength limitations. That and I didn't want to leave a mess on the highway for my friends and family to clean up. Traded the Trike for a 51 pan chopper and cash money.
Now I'm basicall housebound but still wrenching 'single handedly'.
