My name is Cameron, from Dayton Ohio. In the day to pay the bills I work as a web designer and print advertisment manager for a large Motocross Race Team (www.troy-racing.com). For fun I like working on my cars / trucks / motorcycles and stuff. Modifying them to make them look better, sound better, go faster, etc etc. I'm a pretty laid back type of person whom just last weekend bought my first Volvo, a '99 S80 which I have already grown to love. Have any questions for me? Feel free to ask! Any motorcycle guru's out there let me know if you need parts, sponsorships, etc and I can help ya out. Just PM me. Thanks too all for making this a kick-*** forum!

DFW, Texas. Worked as a testing technician for 5 months, and got stuff done too fast. Not enough work flow apparently. Now I am doing pools over in Wylie. (Clean, test PH, Test chlorine, Etc)
18 years old, electrocuted 21 times, one of the times being 240V working on an electric stove (didn't know the switches went directly to 240V) electronics enthusiast wanting a degree in electronics engineering, and I may be moving to my friends house. Her cousin, mom, and me all work at the same place while me her and her cousin go to the same school.

I like to find simple solutions to complex problems. gotta fix the blower motor "resistor" in the volvo? Put a relay in place instead, I use it on full blast anyways. :P

Need to charge a 12v battery with a 24 volt solar panel? Use an old voltage regulator from a car, and use the diodes from the alternator (Polarity wont matter when plugging in the solar panel!) Besides the panel is only 350mA.

Bug zapper broke? lets put a microwave transformer, and a capacitor on it and play with it. (Too strong, kinda melted the two electrodes together after I left it with my friends family)

Afraid you will forget to feed the chickens? Setup a light fixture to turn on at night so that the bugs will fly in and eventually die, chickens will be well fed.

oh, Forgot to mention I love playing with chemicals. Still need a smock though, ruined a few pairs of jeans cleaning out rust from an old gas tank.

i work at a DME company. That's durable medical equipment. Our company does walkers,wheelchairs,etc as well as oxygen and cpap machines. I have a college fine arts degree in ceramics so i am a potter of sorts. More like a lapsed potter since I haven't potted for some time. I live in Upstate South Carolina but am a minority Independent/Democrat politically so my vote rarely counts nationally

DME company? Is it interesting?
About me - now I'm looking for a new job. Because I want to earn more money. Until I find a new job, I won't leave the old one. Because I can't stay out of work for long. I have compiled a summary of one of these examples - https://resumeget.com/resume-examples . I hope to be able to change jobs soon.

I've retired and moved to No. California. My beloved '92 240 was too rusty to ship, so I sold it for a fair price. I picked up a really nice '83 240 wagon out here. It had some quirks, but I've got them ironed out.

Kentucky, Bowling Green. Physical Therapist. I am currently in postgraduate studies, writing a study that is related to behavioral economics and how it affects the general condition of the individual during the making of important decisions in life. I faced the problem of creating a presentation and asked for help at https://edubirdie.com/powerpoint-pre...riting-service I have always thought that creating a presentation to paper was the most horrific assignment a student can face. I thought that it was nothing else but regurgitating the very same information twice. So, I decided to buy both paper and presentation online. I could not have expected that EduBirdie will provide me with such brilliant content. And yes, their prices are surely something to enjoy and they treat your confidentiality with respect.

Phoenix, just an ordinary editor. When I was in high school I wrote for pleasure, later I realized that I can earn money doing it. So I did and finally bought my first car (Volvo of course). Then I turned it into my career and enjoyed my life to the fullest. Now I’m working on a project about recliners, sofas, massage chairs and so on. Writing about it makes me wanna fill my flat with it.
