What do you do and what else do you do?

[AussieMitch]

Im 28, turning 29 in May. I've been with my wife for 10 years, married 5 on Australia day (26th Jan). We had our first son in March 2011.
I'm a fitter machinist by trade, and work for the water corporation in Western Australia. I initially did my time on a gold mine, but I got sick of that and wanted to do something new. I'm still using my trade, just in a different field. We have a pipeline which pumps water from Perth to Kalgoorlie (where I reside), whick is approx. 600km (375miles) long. I mainly work in and around the pumping stations, on control valves (pressure and flow), and Chlorinators. It's actually a great job, but the distances required to travel to get to a job are becoming a bit tiresome.
Other hobbies include: All Grain beer brewing, gardening, 4 wheel driving, camping, hanging out with the family, and most recently cigars.

I am 27. I just got married this last March to, IMO, the best girl in the world. I work in the Merchant Services Industry handling agent relationships. I play a lot of golf, hunt a lot more, and play soccer any chance I can. That was my first job and it's hard to quit playing. I am a huge college football fan and follow Nebraska and Florida State. I have 2 dogs. My bird dog Copper who is a Brittany, and my 180 lb. Great Dane/St. Bernard mix.

[jonk]

I'm in school right now studying mechanical engineering, but I'm much more interested in homebrewing. I've found that a cigar is a nice reward and complement to a long, successful brew day.

 

[Hoshneer]

I do a lot of paintballing and I am kind of a techie. I love working on my PC and modding my android phone.

Oh, that's not a banana in my pocket... sent from Tapatalk.

 

[usmcpurcell]

I'm a Process technician for a plastic injection company that makes things you use on a daily basis. Wanting to go back to school to be a college professor would be a pay cut but something I want to do. I'm an all around mutt I like reading,gaming,drinking,shooting,playing with my daughter,working on rat rods,studying different religions. I could keep going I have too many interest.

 

[JuYcEmAn]

I've had a great career in the CPG Food business over the last 15+ years. I have started new companies and launched new brands. Recentlly, I head up new business development for a Hawaiian distributor. I travel the mainland and attend trade shows and visit manufacturers to secure brands for their distribution in Hawaii. I cannot complain.

My true joy is my family. I have a beautiful and tolerant wife who is understanding of my habit(s). I certainly married up. I have two wonderful children, but cannot wait for the empty nest.

I pass the time with friends and family. Although I sold my motorcycle a couple of years ago, I am looking to purchase another. I truly enjoy the feeling of the open road on two wheels.

I love to cook and feel a sense of accomplishment when I can create a dish, or a meal, from scratch that is restaurant quality. I am investing in a smoker this spring and look forward to smoking roasts, briskets and ribs. I enter chili competitions across my area and have won several prizes.

I feel most relaxed and at peace when I can imbibe in a cigar, a glass of scotch or liquer, and some conversation. I usually herf with my father-in-law or with friends on my patio. Ahh, the pains of living in a cold weather state...

I have been in the Telecommunication / Cellular industry for over 30 years. If you make a phone call it probably goes over a network I engineered, installed or managed at some point. I have a beautiful wife, four children and seven grand children and a dumb ass cat. My interests are motorcycles, been riding and building for around 35 years, boats, shooting, wood working and of course cigars. I am either at work, on the bike in the shop or with the family.

 

[calgon]

I have worked for a repossession company for the last 3.5 years. which will soon be ending at the end of march, due to my boss retiring. After that who knows hopefully something in cigar industry and at the very least being self employed. I am 26 I have a wonderful girlfriend of 4 years. I love college sports. growing up in a college town there really isn't anything else. I play very little golf well and i love to fish. Fortunately I live in a place i can do that year round.

 

[tripp]

Wow my life has changed since I started this thread. I feel old.

I am still married to the same woman and have the same two kids, daughter will turn 30 in just a couple of weeks.
I now have 6 grand kids 4 girls and 2 boys. I got out of the car/truck sales business a few years ago and have been a happier& better person for it.
Struggled with the loss of my mother and her health issues the year and a half before she died on 2-18-10.
I used to be a heavy smoker but time and finances have kept that from from happening as of late but I am pretty optimistic right now.
I have a great place to live on the lake that produces the greatest sunsets and plan on smoking plenty of cigars watching them this year.

 

[Duxnutz]

Wow such a cross section of people on here, pretty awesome. Would love to meet some of you should our paths cross...

I'm 29 and live with my American lass of several years, no kids except for a needy lil bulldog that thinks she's a cat.

Having lived in the Midwest for a few years (grew up in Australia) I'm a keen Green Bay fan, modest baseball viewer and love me some Aussie Rules footy (Demons). Also love lots of craft beer and due to my recent job giving me tons of time off have started homebrewing.

I've been a pilot for over a decade and feel lucky to have seen large parts of Australia, North America, Mexico and a bit of the carribean on my travels. I started smoking cigars while flying relief supplies to some islands in the Caymans and haven't looked back!

My wife and children are really the most important and time consuming part of my life

[moreno]

Interesting to see what everybody is doing in his/her daily life, i never had really hobies, i worked my whole life in the tobacco business, do have kids who live their own life and you see that they are busy building their own life and are not really interested in what the old men is doing anymore, well guys live your life to the fullest before you realize you will be old like me, sometimes i close my eyes and think of things which happened 40 years ago as if it happend yesterday, funny but true, cheers Moreno
