Most of my working life I've earned a living as a pipe fitter / plumbing and heating guy. For the last 20 years or so, I have been working for the largest fuel company in Alaska, installing and servicing oil-fired hot water boilers for our customers.
2 years ago I was the last man standing because as other techs left company they were not replaced. The company then decided to discontinue the service so I now just work on our company heating equipment around the state. Travelling around Alaska is almost always an adventure but, I'm just not into adventures so much as I used to be.
I'll be 64 in a few days, I'd really rather just stay home! I'm in Bethel Ak as I write this, and I just got a request for me to visit Kotzebue. I guess I'll be heading there right after Christmas.
