Re: What do you do?

Been screenprinting for 15+ years in the family business (Dad and I)..<br /><br />Spent a little better than a year working for a friend as a mobil mechanic in all areas of the marine field.. Also took care of some heavy equipment like front end loaders, forklifts, and travel-lifts around our home yard.. Aside from the driving, I liked the job.. It was a new adventure nearly everyday, but my Dad was having some health issues (now straightend out ) which meant I was needed more at the family business, so I had to give it up.. <br /><br />I'm back to screenprinting full time, and then some..
