I helped Hybrid out at their old shop a couple times. Many years ago I worked in a steel drum reconditioning plant in Cleveland. We supplied drums to Tremco and they had to be “Tremco Green”, which was quite a color! Kind of a bright lime green. I painted many thousands of them. You still use that color? ---

Mike Lundeen Product and Toy Designer Fisher-Price East Aurora, NY I am one of 6 designers in the Baby Gear group at FP. We design products for children from birth through about 3 years old…things like high chairs, potty’s, bouncer seats, swings, etc. Stroll through Target, Babies R US, Walmart, etc. and you’ll see our work. Sorry, but I can’t do much for hookups, best I can do is 20% through the FP Toystore. ---

This isn’t my job. I do it voluntarily. I have a license from NY called a Leashed Tracking Dog License. It allows me to use a trained dog to track wounded deer and bears.

I run a local automotive shop, I make the least there. I am responsible for the all facets of automotive performance in the place and responsible for the 5 others incomes and livelihood. It has its ups and downs. Always look on the brightside so that you dont carreen yourself into a bridge abutment some nights on the ride home. 🙂 ---

Always look on the brightside so that you dont carreen yourself into a bridge abutment some nights on the ride home. 🙂 I’ll bet that is tough. Do you find it difficult to get reliable, hard-working employees? I’ve discussed the economics/operational aspects of running a repair shop with a couple of friends who are familiar with that business. The large investment in tools, and the operational overhead (rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance, Worker’s Comp, etc.) make it seem like a pretty daunting propoistion to me. Almost seems like if you are a talented mechanic you’re better off working for someone else? If you run an honest shop and make a living at it, my hat is off to you. You may well have the hardest job posted so far! Rich ---
