I’d say circa.. 2017? Been here, there, ended up back in San Diego, ditched the fire-EMS career for remote healthcare IT project management, grad school, bought first house, lost a few people to Covid and other stuff, became an uncle a couple times over, that about sums it up!

Oh shit, that's a long time. quite a bit happened.  Most of it crap.  but hey, life.. ya know. That's quite the career change -one would think firefighters are also in demand there atm?

I was doing summer seasonal wildfire out of state, private EMS in the off season. Wasn’t really sustainable and net pay was shit. Now I work from home full time and have much better work-life balance (plus the knees are happier).

Neat! Mr. Clod's made a couple of river tables, but never the kind that lets the epoxy spill over the edge like that during the process. I like the look!

So he knows the bubble elimination pain! Just got the beginnings of a slab flattening router sled setup, so a river table may be in the pipeline eventually.

Used to spend way too much time getting edges perfectly cleaned up, then a few spillover pieces sold instantly so I started just going that direction!

Thanks glatt!

Thanks. It’s not foot’s hall closet level haha, but is pretty fun since each one comes out unique after hand-mixing the mica powder coloring.

In the vein of “if you can’t laugh at your own expense, you can’t laugh at anyone else’s”, my favorite project manager joke:

A project manager is someone who thinks 9 people can deliver a baby in 1 month.

Mostly charcuterie boards, side tables, and epoxy ocean wave stuff.

*kicks tires* Neat.
