I'm a copier technician, i drive around and repair copiers and printers all day. The Ranger is better for hauling parts around in than my old Forester was.
I work a Xerox doing the same thing for 13 years before I couldn't take it anymore I got into the entertainment business and never look back.

I’m an auditor for the state of California. I basically am sent all over the state to make sure that state government agencies are spending money and performing in accordance to laws and other guidelines as they should be and if not that changes are implemented.
Ha Ha! I’m an IT Specialist for Caltrans. I’m sure you’ve audited us.

I’ve done a few that are done on behalf of Caltrans where we audit Prop 1B projects or overhead cost reimbursements.

I’m a manager in the import/export/logistics department for the Kawasaki plant in Lincoln, NE. We’re the only plant in the world that makes the Mule, Teryx, and JetSki products. Sister plant next door makes mass transit rail cars for the east coast railways.
Are Kawasaki robots still made there? I spent most of my 28 years at Ford working on them.

Nope, they’re mostly made in Japan and Indonesia I believe. All of the importing, sales, and service is based up in Wixom now.

I play golf. I don't make a living at it mind you, but it's what I do.

I drove several different vehicles. One was Terex 6300 Iron Ore Dump in a mine in the California desert. That was a rush of a job.

Hi Rich,

What kind of lift did you install? Where are the crash bars after the tire install? Just kidding...we have a copper mine behind us that uses these huge movers...13 mph up hill and about 20 mph down hill... We get the flat bed semi trucks hauling three tires at a time up to the mine.. Would love to take a ride in one sometime... All the mine trucks on streets of Green Valley have tall flags on them to avoid these tiny F350s from being squashed by these tires!

Best,

I was driving up an incline in the mine in one of those when my right side fuel tank fell off. I ran over it and didn’t even notice. A foreman chased me down on my left side to tell me.
