Of course.

Well at least I started to, then Barry Meguiar's hired me and I moved from Oregon to Southern California in March of 2002 to work as the Corporate Writer.

I was hand cleaning the paint on #3 Scoop using M01 and terry cloth anytime I was caught up. I actually had some pictures of the shiny sections but have no idea where they are now days...

That's fun stuff Mike! Thanks for sharing it.

That is some cool background info. It's nice to get to know you a little better Mike. I hope to meet you and many others here someday.

Yeah...the second reason kinda makes sense.

Interesting work history Mike.

Did the oil drilling job cause the disability? Maybe I shouldn't ask but just curious.

Mike had a drag racing boat accident; he's talked about it here before.

I was also an ironworker on a couple of jobs with my dad. Definitely a tough job with a lot of interesting characters. I learned alot about hard work doing that job.

I now work as a manager in the financial analysis dept for a fortune 100 company. I still sometimes miss the crisp air, hard work, and good times I had as an ironworker.
