    Yeah, 12,000 feet down is a long way to swim. I try to stay out of the water (and mostly at a desk really). Designing parts to withstand 8,000+psi ambient pressure is fun/challenging though

    I actually am teaming up with some graphics artists that will be able to turn real-time photos into graphics and then be printed onto shirts for everyone on the forum. I am doing direct to garment so full color printing is my forte. I'm sending my truck over to somebody's tomorrow to see how they turn out and what price I can negotiate per photo.

    Once I see proof of concept I'll let you guys know for sure

    Just local pick up and delivery for me. I don't think I'll ever try over the road as driving and 8 hour trip by myself in this thing for a week drove me crazy. I can't imagine weeks on the road.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Jesus Christ this is an old post! Sorry, but this is totally invalid to whomever liked it! :rolleyes:

    I am now a full time heavy civil industry equipment operator. Way better pay, full benefits (wife's coverage included at minimal cost), and a 401k and attractive pension. Best part is, the job isn't even half the work of being a concrete laborer. I run big fancy dozers, excavators, and scrapers that do all the hard work for me, I just sit in the cushy cab and run the controls! :cool:

    My main job is a Logistician for NAVSUP. I support the US Ohio/Columbia and UK Vanguard/Dreadnought Submarines. Its basically making sure we have all the spare parts in stock at the warehouses. I've been here since 2009.

    I also have my own software development company DropForge Labs. We build web based applications for businesses (small and large). Shameless plug (https://www.dropforgelabs.com/). Started the business in 2008 before I graduated college.

    This life is done and gone tools are stored away in my closet!!! I bought and run a motorcycle repair shop now in Spartanburg sc. I’ve got a 40 year veteran Honda mechanic that works with me!! We do all the stuff no dealerships wanna do and sale parts tires and all that!! The money isn’t that good yet but hopefully I can grow a bit! It was time for a change I was stuck in the toolmaker job going nowhere for the next 30 years already close to too pay!!
