What do you do for a living?

I retired from a 20 year (+ Post Graduate Degree) career of Cardiovascular Perfusion. I ran the bypass pump for cardiac surgery. Great job, but the hours burned me out. During that time, also got my Cert III in Carpentry. This allowed me to start my own Renovating business, which I used to buy and renovate houses. Dropped out of the big city, and moved to Far North Queensland. Retirement didn't suit me, so have worked a smattering of jobs up here. Casual with Qld Corrections, but four days a week at a Crocodile farm. Only in Australia!

Back when Rockwell was in Pittsburgh, we tried putting a few of these in the mills, and, while a good idea, our technology to that point wasn't quite up to making a reliable dinglearm. Then all the mills went bust. With modern computers, that technology is now a dead end. If history were different, and we didn't have all those dinglearm failures, who knows where we would be. No computers, no social media, and likely, world peace would have been achieved.
 
Construction Science degree that I never used. Have held various oilfield engineering jobs all revolving around the perceived naughty 4-letter F word. Now work for a startup geopressured battery company.
 
I'm a Stuntman and Stunt Coordinator for Film & Television. Been following the Grenadier since around 2019 and picking mine up this weekend if all goes well.
Nice that you decided in favour of the Grenadier. You won't regret it.
Although the GMC Sierra Grande would also have been a nice alternative. Give my regards to your mate Colt. ;)

I respectfully disagree. So why were the World Wars started no computers back then? I send my career in industrial automation, yep, Rockwell was one.
Also, Modicon, GE, Rolls-Royce, and Square D,
