Just got off the phone with my uncle Joel. He laughed and said hi.

I hope he is enjoying retirement as much or more than I am. We spent many a long hour in the old polyethylene plant. Ask him what a DECOMP sounds like, especially when you are in the next reactor bay. The first one I was that close to shook my bones, thankfully I had earplugs in.

In my long list of jobs I forgot a couple of clubs that I worked at, I was the night time manager at a very low class topless bar Dallas Gentleman's club back in the early 90's, friends of mine Randy & Brent Dumas owned it.
I thought it was going to be a pretty cool gig, NOT I was an under-paid baby sitter for a bunch of crazy messed up women.

Now had I worked at an upscale one like the Mens club I bet it would have been a lot more enjoyable.

US Navy then 31 years as a Shop Hand in a Production Machine Shop...new Company President decided I was too old, fat & unhealthy to carry on. So retirement several years ahead of schedule. Lean times but happier times. Closer to family than I would have ever been. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Just a trucker. Wasted my youth, let me tell you. If I could do life over again I would of got my CDL at the earliest legal age and I would of run in the oil field too. Could have been retired by now.

I was working in a machine shop in Odessa when I was a kid, before I started selling. I was eating lunch with my boss one afternoon. I asked him how he liked running things. He told me he’d been managing a machine shop for thirty years and felt like all he was qualified to do was run a daycare. He said he should have become a salesman. That stuck with me.

Oilfield hand of sorts. Buy some royalty here, sell a lease there, drill a few wells a year. Peaks and valleys.
