What do/did you do for a living?

@jjss49 Yes. When I saw this I felt that I may have added to it. After a quick look it seems that it escaped me. So in correction....

I was a Researcher/Professor of Plant Breeding until I retired in 2006.  Became a  Audiogon member in 2011 as part of reuniting with this audio hobby.

Will now need to go back and revisit this thread.

Engineer by education but have owned bike shops for almost 40 years.

I am a retired engineering geologist.  30 Years in foundation exploration, geotechnical instrumentation, groundwater clean up etc.  Worked another 10 years as a sub-surface geophysical tech doing ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity surveys, some seismic work etc.  I have always been an audiophile even before I even knew what it meant.  Built my first system in the air force with a Knight kit tube amp, some home made speaker cabinets and a Thorens TD 101 tt I got at a pawn shop.  It has been uphill ever since as time and funds allowed.  Listen mainly to jazz and classical.

ya call this livin’?!

I am a baker, just a very good one 😂
