Keep them coming.
It is interesting to read all the little things that have been done to keep an income coming in. In my first post I stuck to what I have had training in. Other small jobs that I have had to get through hard times have been. Leaf cutter selling stringhy bark leaf to chemical companies so they could extract blood cloting medicine from them, Eucolyptus distiller, shed hand, shearer, wool pressor, log feller and hauler, contract hay and silage bailer, contract weed sprayer, wood cutter, livestock carrier, short hall semi driver and contract station hand. I have only applied and interviewed for one job all the rest have been offered to me in times of need, I have been verry lucky that way.

Mixed bunch - eh?
I started off in the engineering iron industry in central Scotland, but I found out about 30 years back that all the money was in oil, so got an additional house here in Aberdeen.
Never really learned anything, loads of trial and error. don't really have the time or facilities to do as much restoration as I'd like ( ask my trucks ... ) I've always been fascinated by vehicles that do tricks - drive and float, drive and crawl, crawl and float, run on rails and road, road and snow, etc. Used to have a pile of amphibians but didn't use them, not got a bunch of snow and rail stuff and don't use that instead.

My Turn
Joined the Australian Army at 15 as an Army Apprentice Fitter.
Whilst in the ARA worked mostly with Artillery & weapons, fabrication & anything else I was told to work on. Did time as recruit instructing & an interlude in the Regimental stream as CSM & DSM. After 23 years transferred to the reserves where I am still at the Museum & work full time for a company who train the Army Technical Trades. I teach small arms & machine shop.
