Process Technician at a petrochemical production facility.

fancy smancy term for a boiler operator.

Wife is retired and returned to school to get her degree.

Chickens, RIR, BRs, Black Copper Marans. I'm currently spending alot of brain power trying to figure out how to get the chickens to pay for themselves, any way you cut it, it's almost impossible. Starting to shift to rare and fancy, because the Black sexlink operation failed miserably.

Horses, dogs and cats.

3 years, 358 days from retirement, not counting leap year, but who's keeping score!.

So... according to my non farming friends, I really don't have a job.. cause I am home the most part of the day! LOL.

I know how that goes. Since I am self-employed, people assume I sit around and watch TV all day just waiting for them to call and ask me for favors.

Well at 41 years old I just restarted my career. I'm in Emergency Management as an Air Reserve Technician with the Air Force only now I'm a GS (but only a little one) instead of a contractor. 9 months ago my wife and I were blessed with our first child and we decided that she'd be a stay at home mother for as long as she wants. (I'll tell you that I think I've got the better end of the deal by working in an office all day, stay at home moms are super tough and more organized than anything on the planet).

I'm also an Air Force Reservist so one weekend a month I do exactly what I do during the week. I've got 12 years military already and that all counts towards retirement as well. The year that my daughter graduates high school and heads off to college I'll be retiring with 20 years as a civil servant and 30 accumulated years military.

Sometime in the next couple of years I'm giving my wife my GI bill so she can finish her degree as a nutritionist so that once Olivia is in school full time she can go back to work if she wants to.

First off: Thank You for your service to our country!
Second: Thank you for noticing that the title of "mom" is indeed a job title.
And Third: it seems that Miss Olivia has some wonderful parents.
