Glenn: Boom or bust, would probably best describe my work history. I can claim to be one of the few, that has worked in both the coldest, and hottest, place in the world.
I connected control equipment for the fuse, fire, and destruct, on the H-Bomb tests at Eniwetok, and Bikini Atolls. I connected scientific instruments, at the South Pole, that heard the Mt.St Helens explosion. I worked an undersea research project that is still classified. I worked on a micro-wave data highway system in Libya. I wired life support equipment on brooders, at a pig farm in Roseburg, Oregon. This was after my career as a dingbatter. Is this being a "Boomer" or a neurotic?
I probably passed more lucrative opportunities, in my search for experience, adventure, or just being curious. I would not advise any wireman to do the things I did, but I have no regrets, other than the pig farm. The baby pigs thought I was their mother.
