Guest BlueDamsel Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 I'm the art director for a major firearms company. So I get to hunt, fish, and color for a living...you know, it's all in the interests of being able to portray the lifestyle accurately! We do packaging, catalogs, and advertising for our outdoor products (I got my Garmin after the Garmin people sent us one for a photo shoot and we got a chance to test it out). I am one of those lucky people who have a job they really love... it's the best job in the world. Quote Link to comment

I?ve been doing this for 35 years now. In about four more years I?ll decide if I like it well enough to stay. Perhaps at that time I?ll go into Geocaching full time. :-) Quote Link to comment

Guest BassoonPilot Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I'm a bassoonist in NYC and environs. In my line of work, "being all thumbs" is considered a positive attribute. (If you're familiar with the bassoon, you know what I mean.) When I'm not performing with my bassoon, I'm sitting home at my desk designing and making bassoon reeds for other professional bassoonists. The most common question I hear from people attending their first concert is: "That's an oboe, right?" (Surprisingly, people rarely ask the oboists if "that's a bassoon" . . .) Of course, I'm always happy to explain it to them, and play them a little tune . . . ANYTHING to help develop a new audience member for classical music! For fun, I fly Cessnas, geocache, build computers and collect vintage technology. Quote Link to comment

Guest apersson850 Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Manager of the Electric Systems Design group within the R&D department of a company in Sweden, Stralfors, that makes paper handling machines of various types. Got into geocaching because I saw the Vista at a friend of mine, wanted one and then had to find an excuse for having it... Besides, I've been competing in orienteering since 1972, so this is just another way of finding the way. Anders Quote Link to comment
Guest DonnaG Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 My background is Surveying. I have been working on parcel information for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for the last 18 months. Lots of research and 100 year old survey plans! The real world is not as flat as it seems on a survey plan! I am a computer geek by necessity, not by choice. My husband is a GIS Specialist with the MNR also. He is a computer geek by choice.(The computer in the garage is networked with the other 3 in the house). We just started geocaching and love being able to put all of our hard work mapping Ontario to good use. Quote Link to comment
