Rich Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 You guys would have hated my job. I worked in a steel mill welding railroad cars. The parking lot was 1/2 mile from the plant so you had to walk, plus it was over a bridge so lots of wind. Always fun when the temp dropped to below zero with wind chills of -15 or so. The building was a huge metal structure with no heat or air conditioning, so in the winter, you layered on the clothes and built fires in drums to keep warm. Hot lunch? Yeah right. And in the summer you prayed for third shift, because that tin can heated up like an oven. Try welding under a 15 ton railroad car when it's 95 degrees outside. Did that job for 36 years, so when early retirement was offered up............I said "I'm outta here". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own too many pair of long pants anymore. When it's in the 60s here, it's cold, and when it's in the 90s, it's hot. Everything else is why I live in SW Florida. Actually, my wife and I used to be avid skiers. We used to take a ski vacation every year and went to one of the major ski resorts out west. I loved playing in the snow. Unfortunately, my wife had some health issues and the doctor recommended that she give up skiing. Funny thing, when we stopped skiing I lost my enthusiasm for cold weather. That's what drove me to move to SW Florida when we retired last year. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
