Cars & helos & industry. Euro cars-BMW/SAAB @ dealer & my beginning was to help an USAF guy prep his Fiat Abarth for SCCA racing-a long time ago. I served an apprenticeship as a industrial mechanic with Goodyear @ Topeka Plant. I wanted to be an electrician and was offered pipefitter, to which I asked is that all my choices and took mechanic.I am a life long MC rider & do my own fixing on them plus farm machines too over the years-on farm only never a dealer. I built wrecked euro cars on the side for many years but not one since 2008-no $ in it and I've aged into my MC hobby & also lifelong woodworker too so plenty to do-when not coming off shoulder surgery as I am now doing! It's a PITA too, even @ 3 months out on 3/19 very limiting! My pleasure is a full rotator cuff tear which the doc was able to reattach and now i can tie my shoes, been sleeping in a real bed(not recliner) for couple weeks and generally much better. It's all about certain muscles and ROM. Age 71 makes for a tougher road back and now researching hip replacements-decent looking guy in a worn out body, so it seems...
