    I sell drugs. Legitimate ones, not ones made in a bathtub in Mexico and then smuggled across the border. I work for a major pharmaceutical company. Approaching the 34 year mark... I’m a long term survivor. Planning to retire sometime in the next year, at which point the Tundra will be used for many more road-trips.

    Used to be a director of automation in aerospace, civ and mil, but hooked up with a couple chemical and mechanical engineers and created a new company from scratch. Now I help people make cannabis and hemp oil. It does not suck.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    Director of Virtual Construction for a large mechanical/electrical/plumbing and industrial contractor. Started with them 23 years ago as a field engineer fresh out of college, moved into project management, and then took over oversight and management of our 3D modeling/BIM/pre-construction detailing back in 2013.

    Basically, the people that work for me try to build our projects digitally before they get built for real, so that we can find and solve the issues and can prefabricate and modularize the construction to be more safe, more efficient, and less expensive with the same or higher level of quality.

    I’ve got a great group of people that work for us to make that happen... and we’re always looking for more.

    Love using 3D models when I'm calculating up designs for field layout. Sometimes it's so hard to see how different systems work together on 2D drawings, the 3D drawings make it so easy to see if I'll have clearance issues and have to tweak the design.

    Sazerac are masters of marketing no doubt and their allocation system for things that they have warehouses full of to drum of demand is an interesting strategy but no, it’s a big small industry and I know a lot of people there but I work for Brown-Forman (Woodford Reserve , Old Forester , Jack Daniels, Slane and some damn good scotches Glen Dronach and BenRiach, Glenglassaugh)

    Sounds like you calibrate a lot of cool stuff. I work for an automotive supplier as the in-house metrologist, and send out our reference standards to labs like you.

    The plant I work at makes main bearing caps for FCA, Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan. Before my time there they were trying to quote a Toyota V8 cap but never got it. Not sure what engine it was for, as the design looks totally different from pics of torn apart engines I've seen.

    Kool! We do see a lot of interesting items come in. We have a quite large CMM for doing 1st article inspection verification. Large enough to verify aircraft landing gear specs down to micro inch uncertainty. I'm 65 now and not planning to retire for quite some time. I love working with the latest high tech goodies. Still learning something new everyday:thumbsup: It's nice to have another member know that we don't predict the weather as a job........ha!
