Wasp asked if I would chart a short bio of myself as he/she thought I had an interesting life. This only touches on my work life as I have other interests and adventures.

Grew up working on a hay and cattle farm
Spent five years in the US Army as an MP.
After my service I was a nurse for over twenty years
After nursing I drove liquid O2 tankers for Airgas in Oregon and Alabama.
Moved to Alabama working for Airgas, my wife and me had a small goat farm in the swamp south.
Now, retired or retarded, some days I can’t tell the difference

I would be hard pressed to back up a set of doubles like he does and I used to back a 48′ O2 tanker a half mile through the VA hospital in Tacoma, WA and where the tanks, a hard left and an immediate hard right turns at 3am in the morning.. One, he doesn’t use a trailer dolly for the second trailer, an extended trailer 5th wheel, so he doesn’t have two extra pivot points. It is a European truck and trailers and that suicide knob would get him a ticket here in the states. I don’t know if that length and set up of trailers and the bridging would be legal either.

Edited to add,

The Tactical Hermit sent it to me and I forwarded it to CederQ because I know he used to drive trucks.
