Disabled with just enough hobbies and beer to keep from going insane!

On a lighter note, I was a certified (not to be confused with certifiable) welder, metal fabricator, CNC machine operator, forklift operator, mechanic and everything else they could blame me for. LOL

I work for a wholesale electrical supply company. I work the counter, handle the freight, and do local deliveries in our van. My hours are set so I can be at every game, program, presentation etc that my kids have. Before that I spent 15 years with an orange box store. The guitars started as a whim, then got addictive. I sell a few to pay for the hobby. Would like to sell more but haven't tried a flea market or craft fair yet.

Like Wayfinder, I was able to retire from a programming and web development career fairly early.

I lost my hearing in my late thirties (long before I retired) and lost all interest in music for about 15 years.  A couple of cochlear implants and steadily improving sound processing technology have made it possible for me to think about learning guitar.  Of course its a bit of a gamble as I'm still a bit tone deaf so I didn't want to splash out on a guitar.  Instead, I crept up on it by building and trying to play some cigar box guitars.  A couple of months ago I finished a Telecaster copy so cigar boxes have taken a bit of a back seat recently while I try to work out how six stringers work.

For the last 10 years I have worked for the same company as a tele-sales guy, selling tools, industrial equipment, machinery ,PPE etc .For nearly 20 years ,I worked for a similar company doing the job I do now, plus warehouse work,fork lift operator,  trade counter assistant , delivery driver and had an extra job working for a charity for brain injured children .... previous for 2 years in a small co. as a warehouse/ counter sales guy and went to college and got some City & Guilds Engineering qualifications. Also did 2 weeks as a trainee butcher, 1 day selling fruit & veg and 1 day as a tyre fitter! Oh and several paper rounds as a kid :-)

Been mad about guitars since a very young kid after hearing my older Brother playing records and I would try to sing the guitar sounds, so I'm told, and was mad about his Marc Bolan posters with the Les Paul & Flying V apparently !

For the last 20+ years I've worked in the custom department in a plate glass tempering factory. I drill, cut and hand polish plate glass for custom cabinetry and doors. I spend all day wearing enough safety gear to make a medieval knight jealous.
