Thinkin back...

[#1Tidefan]

Bet you folks didn't know I was a dairyman. I had a chance to go to Montezuma,Ga at that Mennonite restaurant last weekend, and it brought back some good memories. I was workin for my bro-in-law back in the early 80's in the Dairy equipment business (Boumatic systems out of Madison Wi). I learned the ropes, and eventually learned the art of milkin/takin care of those milk producin Holsteins...Guernseys...and Jerseys.

Good times...working with cattlemen as well! If your ever down Montezuma way, ck out that Mennonite (self owned) eatin establishment. The Yoders and Swarzentrubers used to run it. Everything is completely Organic, and you get TWICE the food/dessert you would anywhere! and the Scenic scenes are fantastic!...ck it out.

Now that I have rambled on...what was one of you're first jobs that you remember?...good or bad.

I have more EPIC tales comin soon...  ;)

I've done a lot of carpentry work over the years, especially during the summers when I was still in school.  I enjoyed the work but you just can't make much money doing it.  Now I occasionally volunteer to help build a church or work on a Habitat for Humanity house.

So do I SC. but I ain't worth a flip when it comes to workin with wood. That my only drawback in a profession I would have loved to learn. Kudos to you sir for helpin with 'Habitat for Humanity' folks. All of the aluminum cans I save go directly to those folks.

... on my one room shack, now my mom pimps her act with minks on her back, and she loves to show me off course, smiles every time my face is up in the sauce.  We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us, no heat, wonder why christmas missed us, birthdays was the worst days, now we sip champagne when we thirsty...  

I worked at carmike cinemas (lorna rd, hoover), delivered newspapers to the greensprings area, was helper for remodeling contractor in huntsville in grad school, and a bartender at the bubble lounge in Mobile when it first opened.

I worked for Jim Walter's Resources (coal mines) in college, but two roommates worked for Perry's Pride. We lived a semester on ice cream, the cracked nuts for drumsticks, and the wafers they make ice cream sandwiches with.

Then you know something about hard work, it takes a special person to own a dairy.

First job was working for a car wash/gas station in Tuscaloosa right after high school. Did that for several years, but it was awful during the summer.

There is a "Yoder's" restaurant in Abbeville, SC. Great food there as well.

All the Mennonites around here are lined up at the Library to use computers. They don't mind using them, just owning them.

We visited an Amish community in the foothills between Jackson, TN and Nashville. Surprising to us, they had phones, computers etc.

They still work hard. Rest assured their restaurants, bakeries, etc., are clean. A little weird but nice, honest, reputable folks. We get along fine.

Dairy Farms is a lot of hard work. 7 days a week. RTR!

During summers in High School - cutting, baling and putting hay in the barn.

During  college summers - worked as a carpenters helper for a house builder...in the days before power saws and nail guns.
