Well I was a traveling pipefitter in refineries,reactors, ports, the bars in Las Vegas for years. Then I started getting old and tired of hanging 100' in the air. So I went back home and took a plant welding gig to be around family and maybe find a woman to keep around more than 3 months at a time. And the stuck me on a welding robot cuz as they said "You can read, you can write, and you have all your teeth." Which was totally outside my experience. Then I got moved into robot maintenance. Then I got poached by a small weld company and started making good money with their robots. Mom and dad got sick right before the pandemic. So I was working 12 hours a day, changing wound vac's and repacking wounds, mom had 2 brain surgeries and 3 amputations. So I quit to take care of them. I just recently took a gig at a plant down the street here a bit making retarded money getting their robots back up and running. Because they were purchased by a guy that made a lot of money in the food storage industry and didn't understand why they were "wasting so much time cleaning , its not food" So after I think 6 years of no real maintenance..... ( I sold my place and dumped every dime of it in crypto at the bottom of crypto winter) So now I am about to quit (I got them back up and running and am going in this week 3 times a day to make sure everyone understands the new cleaning and start up check protocols) Sell all my crap and head out on a bus or a plane and check out some places down south with woods, hills, and cricks' ..set myself up a little place and do a little bit of road work here and there!
