What do you do for work?

[JustKyle]

So, purely out of curiosity, what do you do for work? Also on that same note, what’s your hobby, besides bbqing succulent meat?

I’m a signalman for BNSF Railroad, and I’m a car guy to the core. If I’m not cooking, I’m messing with my car. Just interested in what other people do and enjoy.

[DWCowles]

OTR truck driver and my hobby is bbqing.

[vandy]

My mother and father were OTR truck drivers as a team for a lot of years so I kind of know what you guys go through out there DW, stay safe my friend.

[ifican]

Did that job for quite a while, know and appreciate it well.

[Joetee]

When do you get time to bbq while working as a truck driver. Wow

[customtrim]

[customtrim]

Big fan of the old Bridgeports, I’d love to get ahold of one w dro

[customtrim]

Mudbeaver not sure but I think they can be had around here pretty reasonable not sure with the dro. One would be very handy around the house

[Jerod Broussard]

I work in food safety (approaching 16 years), amazingribs.com (approaching maybe 4 years), cooking brisket, pork shoulder, turkeys, hams, for whomever wants to pay me (approaching 3 years).

Hobbies- currently getting back into indoor target archery (2014 Hoyt Pro Comp Elite). Deer and hog hunting(rifle, bow) on the heavily forested public lands of east Texas.

[Powersmoke_80]

I'm a Hoyt guy as well shoot indoor winter league with a Hoyt 38 Pro.

[vandy]

I am basically a retired automotive technician after working on cars since 1973 so I guess you could call me a car guy. My son and I now own an automotive locksmith business. I don't do much work any more but keeping up with the business finances and book keeping is about all I want to do anymore with a bad back and other pains from all the abuse I put my body through over all those years.

[Steve B]

I hear you vandy this business takes a toll on your body.

[Attjack]

Freelance technical illustrator/writer. Hobbies include chasing squirrels and burying bones in the backyard.

[Black99vette]

LOL - just read this!

[jfmorris]

Electrical and Software Engineer, and my main non-BBQ hobby is brewing beer. Shooting guns also. Just don't mix the beer with the guns and you will be ok.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Thank you for the inspiration. Maybe if I drink beer next time I am shooting around the farm I can finally hit the broadside of the barn.....;-)

[Black99vette]

Terry Kath (Chicago)

[Troutman]

Terry Kath, just saw a documentary on Chicago. Kath was Jimi Hendrix’s favorite guitarist, Jimi claimed he was better then himself in an interview. Struggling with drugs and alcohol he did “accidentally” shoot himself in the head.

OK back to your regularly scheduled program...carry on..

[Potkettleblack]

As discussed in the podcast, I work as an analyst for a cabinet level agency, focusing mostly on travel administration and a small budget, as well as process improvement and various special projects.

My main hobby aside from cooking is currently a Star Trek game on my phone.

[jfmorris]

Which game is it? I need to find something to replace Game of Way on my phone...

[Potkettleblack]

It was called Star Trek Timelines. I have since quit it. Harder quit than here, as I deleted the app. I dunno that I would recommend it.

[HouseHomey]

Dejavu all over again.

[SoCal Chris]

I spent 7 years as a Mining Engineer for a very large gold mine in Nevada and now have been working in the Environmental industry in California for the last 25 years. Other than BBQ, I enjoy traveling both with and without our RV and making wine.

[Black99vette]

So would the Gold Rush guys be mining like that without the TV money?

[SoCal Chris]

I think the TV money definitely helps them. There is still plenty of gold out there but the ones making the big money are like where I worked. We were moving 500,000 tons of rock per day and producing 1.6 million ounces per year.

[Spinaker]

Sounds nice Chris!

[geotek230]

Service advisor at the local ford dealer. (mopar) car nut and have recently got into bladesmithing love to hunt when i can find the time

[DoubleUpOrQuit]

I'm a cubicle dweller in a large accounting department, I'll spare you all the details. Aside from BBQing, I enjoy fishing, photography, gaming, and a few other random things.

[Jerod Broussard]

If it makes you feel better they remodeled our office and put in an L-shaped desk and everyone is asking us if we went corporate. Thankfully most of my work is not in the office.

[BriggsBBQ]

Me too only they took down the walls so we could collaborate...or more likely just have more distractions around me.

[smokinfatties]

Amen for us bean counters!

[RonB]

R.E.T.I.R.E.D.! Wildlife photography is my main hobby besides cookin'.

[Yno]

Opened your link and just saw BBQ pictures. Is that your 'wild life'? Kidding, I went on the other galleries. Very nice.

[Mudkat]

Beautiful photos Ron. Love bald eagles!

[Black99vette]

Damn nice photos! Thanks for the link! And LOL: Aporkalypse Now

[ComfortablyNumb]

Well, let's see, in a previous life I owned a landscape business in San Diego, then worked for a public park in the SF Bay Area before becoming a chess instructor and working for UPS where I started off loading package cars, then delivering in lower Berkeley, and finally driving feeder (tractor/trailer). I bought a farm in NE Washington, moved up and for a few years hauled cryogenic gas from Trail, BC to Portland/Vancouver for a couple years. 'Retired' to farm and care for my father who had Alzheimer's Disease while working feeder for UPS in Spokane during peak season (Nov/Dec). Last year went back permanent with UPS for health benefits as our $6000 deductible policy now costs us $1300 a month.

Hobbies would be games (chess and dominoes) farming (vegetables, chickens, and hogs) old trucks (1950 F6 and 1956 F100) and brewing ale, although I haven't done that in a while.

[BourBonQ]

Much respect for the UPS guys and gals! (Dad was a feeder driver for nearly 30 years...)

[HouseHomey]

Remind us to talk about my only time in real snow. Hint Spokane!

[smokinfatties]

those trucks sound awesome! My gramps had a '56 big window

[smokenoob]

Peripatetic Circumlocutionist

[JimLinebarger]

Sounds like a medical procedure, or a mobile trainer who uses powerpoint...

[HouseHomey]

Mr. Bones LMFAO!!! The WPP!

[Soonerpop]

Hey! We don’t need that kind of talk around here.

[Rod]

I've worked in aerospace manufacturing most of my life. For the last 12yrs I've been primarily reverse engineering turbine engine parts for small aircraft. Other than bbq, I like to video game.

[Rod]

Crop dusters are actually one of the main aircraft fleets we support. Suck, squeeze, bang and blow!

[lonnie mac]

Cut my eye teeth with crop-dusters. Got my A&P back in 82 working at a glider port. Lots of crop dusting and banner towing too. Dang those were the days man.

[HawkerXP]

I've read some on how they're reverse engineering parts for some of the old aeroplanes. Interesting stuff. A working A&P since 1979.
