I work for the 3rd largest cable company in the U.S, Cox Communications, for the last ten years. Many just refer to us/me as "Cable Guy".

I'm a gunsmith.

I customize, alter, repair, and clean just about anything that comes through the door that's worth my time to work on. I also advise people on what firearms they should buy and rent out and disillusion them as to firearm nomenclature and firearms laws and 2nd Amendment rights.

I don't blow smoke up anyones' *ss and I don't bullsh*t anyone into buying something they don't need. I may not have decades of experience, but I know enough to know what I'm talking about.

I'm also a 4-H youth rifle instructor....but I haven't done that for over 2 years. I also give "crash-course" pistol shooting lessons for $20 for people who are new to guns and want a little bit of coaching.

I drive cars, delivery vans, trucks (lorry's?) and get paid for it
I went into the wall a couple of years ago, so I´m holding back my work effort somewhat nowadays. Getting wiser with age, hopefully :rotfl:
