What do you do and what else do you do?

[bballbaby]

i'll update mine...

I'm currently a Regional HAZMAT Supervisor over here in Afghanistan. I'm in charge of the day to day operations of all things environmental and hazardous materials at 17 us military bases.

I have a small business back home that is slowly growing, Shaffer Flooring Services, LLC. My wife and dad are running it while I'm away from home.

Hobbies...golf, basketball, good food, good wine, and smoking my own foods like brisket, ribs, pulled pork, turkeys, etc.

I am a beer guy. Always have been always will be. I have been home brewing for years now and love it. I am into the all grain brewing and love hopped out beers. Anyone else like brewing? I love the smell of a good CAO LX2 mixed with the smell of my boil.

 

[Primetime76]

I am the manager of a local bank branch...have been here for 6 years (seems like 30..lol). I am married with 2 1/2 year old twin boys and a baby girl due January 13th! Life is busy!

Brewing your own can be very rewarding in that you can make a better beer cheaper. Extract brews are easy and from start to finish is 3 weeks. About 3-4 hours for the actual brew and 2-3 weeks for fermentation and a secondary fermentation for clarity of beer. You can really wow your friends with a specially made home brew beer.

I'm most definitley taking up this hobby when I finish my deployment.

I am an O-2 in the Coast Guard and currently got the lucky billet of the Bahamas. Married with a dog and love the beach and jeeping.

 

[Mathen]

I'm a former soldier who got hurt and had to get out. No heroic story to tell behind that, just worn out and broken.

I've been a tradesman, an IT guy, and a business owner, but except for a small period when I first got out, I've always somehow been working with the Army... and hope to do so until I die. I'm currently a senior business developer for a large defense contractor.

It's a very cool job, don't get me wrong. I love what I do. It's a lot of hard work though. A lot of time on the road, and there is no such thing as "off." If you're awake, you're either working or you're going to go back to work as soon as you finish this one little thing... like eat dinner.

Other than work, my hobbies all seem to end in 'ars.' Muscle cars, electric guitars, and cigars. I own an old Chevelle, one of many souped up death traps I've had over the years. I don't know how many guitars I own. Too many to use, to be sure. I also build them, though I haven't made one in quite some time. If I can slow down a little bit, I'd like to get back into it. I've been married forever and have three kids that drive me nuts... but I still love them to death.

That's about it!

 

[Palmettoguy]

I'm 35, been in the US Coast Guard for the same amount of time I've been married, 17 yrs. I have a 13 yr old daughter going on 30.

During my free time I hang out with the family, go hiking, and go biking for different charities. Last charity ride was for MS.

...and thats about it.

 

[Splatt]

30 year old Navy submariner vet, got hurt in boot camp, was ignored for 7 years then medical discharge in 2009. Now work as an operator at a natural gas power plant.

Free time is spent with my wife of 6 years and our boys ages 2 and 3.

 

[Hoshneer]

I am a school custodian I have been doing this job for almost twelve years now, almost as long as I have been married to my beautiful wife. I started right out of high school. I love my job and it lets me have the weekends off.

I spend a lot of time with my wife and friends, they are like family. We are never home on the weekends. We are always staying the night at peoples houses just like I did when I was fifteen. We have no kids so its easy to be nomadic.

My hobbies include gaming on my Xbox and recently cigars. I have a couple hookahs too that I love to death. I also like to home brew but lets just say its not beer or wine. Its a little more potent than that.

I also enjoy volunteering my time. I am a Freemason and I used to do monthly rallies in our home town to support our veterans and soldiers.

Now for the good stuff... I enjoy long walks on the beach, holding hands and singing musicals in the shower. Okay maybe not long walks..

 

[ilikefishes]

Hoshneer, that is funny. You might use the chemicals I sell.

I am a sales consultant for a family owned mid-western company. I cover all of Northern Colorado. It is a great job that allows me a ton of freedom. I am home every night, get to fish and play a ton of golf. Can't ask for much more.

I 2006 my wife and I started a company that markets products to the fishing and golf industries. It isn't huge but it allows me to write a bunch of crap off. So it works out pretty good.

I volunteer and run.charity events too much, if you were to ask my wife. It is something I have always done to give back and that is something I am trying to instill in our children.

Life is good!

 

[Maddy Mike]

I've been driving petroleum tanker for the last 12 years. I've been smoking cigars for a few years but really started getting into them within the last couple years. Ideally I'd like to be able to get out of the truck and get into the cigar industry, possibly open my own shop. That is, if our states smoking ban ever gets amended. In the meantime, I just enjoy the time I have to smoke a good stick and spend time with my family.

 

[jimmypa]

Work for a construction company as a Safety Professional. Just married in October 2011 without children. Other than being obsessed with cigars some of my other interests are: hanging out with friends, fishing, going to concerts/events, cooking, BBQing, scotch, tequila, cars, playing video games, guns (the safe use of), going to the gym, and having an all around good time.

 

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

Computer security consultant. 36. Former motorcycle racer.

I just paid off all my credit card debt from years of racing, so now I have spare change for cigars. I'm from the South, so I drink a lot, have LOTS of guns, BBQ year-round (yes, in the WA snow too) and enjoy Crossfit to counter all the unhealthy stuff. Or maybe it just helps me justify it? :laugh:

 

[Dubya D]

I work as a cremation products project manager. My job consists of working with cemeteries and churches designing and selling indoor glass front niches and outdoor granite columbaria. I get to travel about as much as I want (depends on the location). I have been working with my current employer for 30 yrs.

I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart for 28 yrs. I have 3 children (2 boys 26 and 24, 1 daughter 22), 3 grandsons (5, 2 and 1 year old) and Grizz my chocolate lab.

I love to play golf, shoot my bow, hunt, fish and camp.

 

[Zedman05]

I really need to read all the damned forum threads....musta missed this one somehow.
31. Married. 2 boys. Live: somewhere north
Heating/Air Conditioning/Refrigeration tech (fancy word for tradesman). I work on anything that heats, cools, or moves air. Been doing that since 2000. Love the work, but sucks to work outside when it's bloody cold or stupid-hot.
Love my cigars of course. Been smoking cigars since 2003, started actually collecting with a humi in 2005, and smoking steadily in 2009.
Hobbies are; not getting killed on a daily basis, playing hockey, coaching hockey, watching hockey and cigar smoking/collecting.

I work at a Honda dealership as a service technician. Just entry level for now, although I have done alot of maintenance and repairs on my own vehicle, which is also a Honda. Don't worry guys! Im a big muscle car fan. One day I will own a trans am ws6, but that is down the road.

I live with my girlfriend and all of her pets, so it's almost like having kids. Haha. We've been together for a little over a year now, but have known each other for 9 years or so. (We dated in high school) And that is how I ended up down here in AZ.

My other interests and hobbies are: cars, playing guitar and bass, listening to music, playing video games, going to concerts, drinking with buddies, and kickin back with good company.
