What is your profession?

Post by Valb68 »

So we already figured out one of your hobbies is catfish :d What is everyone's profession? How do you support your hobby in other words lol
We have two businesses both of which I do the majority of my work out of my home office. We haul logs out of the Inland Northwest in Washington State, USA and also have a portrait business.
Would love to know more about everyone :)

The results here can be concatenated with this, bearing in mind that a lot of the posters on that thread are no longer active in the forum.
