I do commercial insurance. Like the insurance world, can't stand most of the people in it. Half searching for a career change.

I guess I didn't realize how prevelant logging still is! Pretty neat stuff!

Oh yeah there's still a lot going on, not as many timber companies up here anymore but there's still work and will always be some as long as people need paper and lumber.

Here's how the patch looked before I started.

12 hours of cutting later so two days worth.

Red alder swung 180 degrees out of the lean.

There was some tree hugging hippy's going through my neighborhood years ago trying to get people to sign a petition to stop logging in Oregon. I laughed & than pointed out to her that she was using a wood clip board, wood pencil & paper which all come from tree's... DUH!... Than I went on to ask her if she lived in a house, had furniture, owned books, use toilet paper? She was cute so I wasn't mean about it but she got the point.

Pipelines going on every where in part of ohio wv and some of pa. They can't find enough good cut cutters. Can only cut in the winter because of the Indiana brown bat. Alot of rules and regs for pipelines makes cutting more difficult. Besides the hills streams, roads, and powerlines.

I'm Director of Supply Chain for the Americas and Plant Manager of one of our Roller/Structure fabrication shops. The company I work for provides Engineered Conveying Solutions. We make conveying systems, idlers, transfer stations, the actual belt, and pretty much solve problems related to moving coal, rock, and minerals via conveying systems. I have a real appreciation for the hard dangerous work coal miners and others do on a daily basis. We have plants in GA, PA, OH, and Canada and service branches all over the US and in South America.

I am a Mechanical Engineer and in charge of the manufacturing side of a flight simulator company. This job also has the benefit of facilities manager. currently we are building a cessna citron 550 for a private client, a fleet of beechcraft kingair t-44s for the navy and six uh72A helicopter simulators for the US army. The uh72As will be in trailers and be transported all over the country for training.

Bob have you heard of the Ohio county coal mine (AKA Shoemaker)? That's where I work. Fenner has come to our mine on more than one occasion.
