Just trying to get to know the folks here and thought I'd ask what everyone does for a living? Some of you know enough that I'm guessing there are at least a few Dodge techs amongst us? Maybe?I'm the Equipment Manager, basically a service/fleet manager, for the golf and grounds department at Turning Stone Resort in NY. I manage 3 shops with 6 Equipment Techs and we maintain and repair all the equipment for our department. Everything from chainsaws to excavators for a crew of 125+ operators during the growing season and 50 operators when we are on our snow plow schedule. I also have my own repair business that I run nights and weekends. Mostly turf equipment but I occasionally take in other work as well. The bulk of the work is grinding reel mowers, small diesel repairs, and a lot of hydraulic work.So, what do you do if you don't mind me asking?

I own a small construction company. While I have been very lucky, guys have gone broke around me. I pray and let the boss upstairs run the Biz. He's much better at it than I ever was.

I am a partner in a Wrecker business, do dirt work, grave digger, drive big trucks, and am a licensed funeral director at a local funeral home!

If you do good work, do what you tell the customer you're going to do, and don't nickel and dime people...you'll always have work! :thumbup2:

I know prayer works.... Clients are offering to me better deals and situations than I would ever ask for in the past:thumb1: I'm not perfect by a long shot, not afraid to admit it. I do believe in Him and can see a difference while not ever giving up on faith. Folks giveup too easily, imperfections get in the way and drop out.... not me and you can do the same :thumb1:
