When I was a school aged boy, I was too stupid to have a plan or

a dream for that matter. Other than normal teenage boy dreams.

Girls, cars, etc.

I worked on my dad's farm, then for some local farmers.

Vegetable, horse and dairy. I was pretty sure that wasn't for me.

I took some courses at the local community college in auto body

and worked construction to make ends meet. Building garages,

houses, that sort of thing. Worked at a local body shop for a while.

Did some auto body work on the side to make extra money.

Got pretty good at working on cars working for a race crew at

the local speedway. Rebuilding carbs was a specialty. Even built

a super mod pulling tractor that finished third on it first time out.

Then I joined the Navy and learned electronic repair. Good gig.

Mostly clean work. As long as you didn't mind doing it in a war zone.

Started my own side business in 1988 doing electronic repair

which is still in business but has evolved. Back then I was fixing

VCR's, stereos, TV's etc. They got to be so cheap that they were

disposable so no one had them fixed. Even Sears, were I worked

at the regional repair center, had to curtail that repair business.

They kept me on and had me fix lawn mowers and bicycles while

paying me my electronic technician repair wages. Worked for me.

I got out of the Navy and became a teacher for San Diego community

college teaching electronics on contract to the military.

Then gave that up to take up my current career as a "computer geek".

I've been doing this for the last 25 years or so and my electronics

business has shifted to helping folks fix their home computers.

So, long story short, all I've ever done is fix things or teach

people how to fix things. It's worked out pretty well for me.

I am by no means rich, but I don't really worry about that.

I have no debt to worry about paying off if it were to come to that.

I'm healthy, for the most part. Have a loving family, kids and

grandkids all healthy. Life is good.
