    Retired government employee living on a very fixed income, jack of all trades master of none, been a lot of places worked in so many jobs forgot some and most of the time wish I could forget all.

    Buying toys is a treat since I need to be very selective on getting best deals and trading what I have and don't use sort of like life win some lose some.

    What funds the toy drive, the wife working. She's a geophysicist in the oil and gas industry. She works hard to keep me in the lifestyle I have become accustomed to.

    Me on the other hand, I drag down the average household income for our address by working as a mercenary geologist for a small women owed environmental consulting firm. Pays okay, biggest perk is a very flexible schedule at times for shooting and taking care of my son.

    I work in Plant design and Piping for an Oil Gas and Chem engineering company. I went from US Army Infantry to this............I hate being behind a desk, but it pays the bills and allows my wife to stay home with our kids. I really wanted to be an LEO, but things fell through with Houston PD after a year of application process and I never went back.

    The last photos were taken when I took delivery.

    She looks a little different now that she is cleaned up and I painted the green visor white to match the truck.

    Oil/Gas/Investor/retired.

    Our main source of income is Oil and Gas royalties. We also buy and sell land as well as own a stake in a small regional bank. And in my spare time I can usualy be found cleaning swimming pools.

    I'm a national sales manager for a cajun food company out of baton rouge. Its a great job - I'm basically a regional sales manager that is building a new foodservice division (saw a Chef here - he's my customer!). Things are going great and when I hire a new regional (once the volume is there), I get a promotion - or pay raise actually :)

    Something I've wanted to do for a long time. I travel an awful lot though -the only not so fun part... ;)

    Lets hope the economy doesn't tank - because we all go down in that deal....
