HAHA ...well my OTHER Office is Ft Greely - a balmy -30 when we usually visit
Work-a-day activities take place in a much less auspicious office in a cubical farm...my only perk is I have a door

I'm sure you are a nice guy, but I am pre-disposed to hate you. I live on the entrance corner of a multi-subdivsion development. I am forever having the sign clowns putting signs in my yard. Realtors are the worst. In 12 years, I have only had one guy ask my permission, and that's only because I was walking over to remove the sign as soon as he took his hand off of it. I know you get paid either way, but I remove the signs as fast as they are put in place. The yards on the next street up look like a circus and I ain't letting that happen to mine.

Anyway, this is what I do to earn my $$$

My husband and I own a couple of those "dreaded car dealerships". I stay home with our kiddos, and we try to travel as much as possible, both by land and air. We like to expose ourselves and the kids to as much as we can while we have them with us.
We enjoy our home state of CO, it's a great state to RV in.

Ft Greely... as in Alaska? Spent 3 years there when I was a military brat. Dad was the NCOIC of the Tank Range for the Arctic Test Center. The M60 tank was his baby.

Anyway, like a couple others on here, I spent too much time dealing with the idiots of society while in law enforcement - almost 36 years worth. In Patrol, in Investigations and finally in Administration. Now, I spend my time protecting all those people as well as members of our Judiciary in MD.

Camped in sub-zero weather (Ft Greely, Alaska while in Boy Scouts) and have been doing it ever since. All my kids camped, as did both wives - 3rd/current, still does. And we go whenever we can.

Nah..you wouldn't hate me. At least I hope not Im a camper too None of my signs are placed in peoples yards. I refuse to do that!
I can understand totally your position on the posting of signs. My advise to you would be lay them down on the ground or in the ditch, after a week or two the installer would get the idea. If not take them. When they keep finding them missing $$$$ sets in. Cost of a sign on a pole is about $35 each. And remember in most towns and communities posting of signs w/o a permit is illegal if that helps. But government tends to turn its head when they want
TAX dollars $$

By the way my day job is kinda related to yours, well sort of. Im a graphite guy, some of our scrap goes to the steel industry.

Happy campin

I'm retired from that large three letter computer company... living on 4 acres in the country and growing tomatoes, cantaloupes, etc., for family and friends. I'm not a rocket scientist, but one of my more interesting software development gigs was to help produce the operating system software for the Onboard Flight Computers which provided onboard control of NASA's Space Shuttle. I did this work and a couple of years on the Skylab project just out the gate from the Johnson Space Center near Houston.

About once every 3-4 years, my parents took us camping at Turner Falls in southern Oklahoma and Beaver's Bend on the east end of Okla. We slept on a quilt and covered with a sheet... no tent, no stove - but I can still smell that bacon frying in a cast iron skillet over a stick fire!

Mom and I acknowledge that we are blessed beyond measure to be able to glamor camp as we do now.

Wow, I feel pretty inadequate now.

17 years as a mechanic, 10 of those at GM dealers. ASE Mastertech, GM World Class Tech, etc.

The last six years have been spent in corporate sales management for Standard Motor Products. Fancy name for salesman.

Pays the bills, foots the camping need.

Thanks to those that have served and been part of the space program!

Sknight I'm with u. Me being a truck driver seems a little boring now that I seen all these others. I didn't see any of those booths for career day! Lol

[Shanks12]

I am an Online/Network Marketer. Been that way for the past 5 years. I do everything from website setup to affiliate marketing to creating our own products and doing customer service.

My Wife is a Business Analyst at big company around here.

We recently had a son (almost 6 months old) that will be going camping for the first time -- I'm sure he will love it! And we have 2 dogs; 6 yr old Miniature Beagle -- That's on the fatty side -- and a 12 yr old Sheppard/Lab/etc Mix that we rescued a couple years ago.

I started camping in 1965 with my parents, a canvas pop up made in Breslau, Not graduated through several RVs. Was a Cub Scout and led a troop with my Sons and Daughter who is a Chief Scout and Queens Venturer. I made my own conversion van in 1981, bought a 22 ft RV in 1991(towed with a Grand Marquis and a 351 Variable Venturi 4BBl carb) for the kids and I to go camping while they were still in diapers. New chapter with DW Number 2 got back in the game buying a 32 ft Rockwood upgrading 13 months laster to a 32 ft 8289 Fiver to see this great land we call Canada and our close Neighbours to the south. I am a Broadcast Engineer specialist in TV Mobile Broadcast worldwide (many Olympic assignments) and a RF Specialist on Microwave transmission and High Power television transmission. I flew in Helicopters with Wescams all over Newfoundland, some day we will travel the rock to see it from the ground. DW is a Girl Guide leader still active with leading girls but the camping in the tent is nearing the end for her, a Yurt with heaters in January at -30 dF is more her liking now for women's weekend in the wilderness. DW was camping in tent trailers, conversion vans and when I met her had a TT at a lakeside park. We upgraded that after we met as a wedding gift to each other. I am in my retirement job now running the Engineering Department at a Media+Design School at the local Community College with a great staff teaching students all about technology, media, radio, TV, journalism and design.
Life is good, 12 years left to full time Saturday's, till then many weeks of trips, weekends and maybe even a winter trip to Texas for a month at some point after tenure. Looking forward to Goshen and sea of RVs.

Work full time as a bookkeeper/Comptroller Assistant for a large Ford/Lincoln Dealership in Baton Rouge, LA. Also, I work part-time as a Realtor/Consultant. Have been camping my entire childhood and off and on in my adult life. Now our children are grown and we just bought our first camper. We are looking forward making our own camping memories together.

Independent Insurance agent, camped as a kid in a tent and have tented until two years ago when we bought first camper. I cannot wait to get back to our favorite sites this summer and spend great times outdoors. I served and want to thank all that have served our country.

I'm the piano player in a house of ill-repute.

Actually, I figured that was more respectable than what I really do, which is a self-employed tire business owner.

I was dropped on my head a lot as a baby.

No need to feel inadequate, SKnight. Many (most?) folks who write/wrote computer software can't pass the assessments necessary to earn GM World Class tech. My son was certified as such 8 or so years ago. He's smarter/more capable than I am. He and I both know it.

Man, I could use you for my blog. The lack of budget and funds hurts that though!

As for me- web developer for a government contractor doing business applications. Not glamorous, but I work from home full time. We travel around daughter's school vacation schedule and I often times work from the road out of the camper. I run a few web sites that make me pennies most months. And have a couple of freelance customers, though, I've cut almost all of that off in lieu of family time.

Two kids- ages 10 and 2.
