What does everyone do for a living? Where do you live?

Living in Oregon, from Montana! Grew up with F100s, 150s, 250s and 350s, owned / worked on / driven the heck out of all of em!
Quit my job at GoDaddy (engineer) last year to start my own software business. Me and my brother were working on rebuilding an engine (his wife's Excursion - 7.3 PSD) and once again found ourselves searching on some forum for torque specs. We had this idea that was pretty simple for looking up your torque specs on the phone instead of the manual. Manual is great if you need a complete reference, but 90% of the time we're just laying under a vehicle going - what was that spec again? We added F150s/F250s and F350s as our first go around. Mostly, just cause we are Ford gurus already. Hoping to get some input from F150 owners if it's not against site policy to ask. We'll see how this goes / how interested folks are. Even if the idea flops, it was still fun to use my software experience to write something for DIY mechanics, and of course the Ford community gets my special treatment!

Parks and Recreation Attendant for the city of Bathurst, New Brunswick. Take care of the parks and trails in the summer. Attend to the local hockey rink in the winter helping make the two ice surfaces and maintain them, keep the arena clean, move nets during floods or drive Zamboni when needed. Also can operate most of our equipment when needed in other city services like snow removal or water leaks. I feel blessed to have this job and appreciate it.

Hi, new member here, first post...I work in Manhattan, NY as a landscaper and irrigation tech mostly for rooftop gardens. I'm a grad from 1991 from American Diesel and Auto College in Denver Co, a 2 year full time school besides years of hobby work. Only a few years working as an actual mechanic mostly on heavy equipment.
Live in East Stroudsburg PA! Drive a Ford F150 Lightning as a semi daily driver alternating with my supercharged C6 Z06 vette and an F550 tool body. Supercommute of 180 miles round trip, 3:30am daily.
We have 3 Ford trucks in the company, all pre 2005. Each truck is stone reliable. Each day they go to work and shut down, start up....wish I could say that about the other vehicles!
Would like to meet local people who have similar trucks especially as resource sharing and advice, parts swap etc.
Thanks,
Todd
