Hi Thomas, I lived in the first house behind the bank on Bellfield Avenue, which is off of Cedar Avenue just out of University Circle. I could see Case University out my bedroom window and it was close to a mile walk to the Cleveland Sight Center. I had to be at the bus stop by 6:30 to catch the 32c Cedar bus. I would get off at Taylor boulevard and wait for the Taylor bus, which would drop me off the other side of I90 near east a hundred and eighty fifth street at about 7:45. So I walk across the frozen pedestrian bridge over I90 and back up South Waterloo road to the company Fastener Service. Fasteners are nuts, bolts, screws, washers, rivets etc. Fastener Service bought bulk wholesale and sold smaller quantities to local companies. Parts went from so small that thousands would fit in the palm of your hand and weigh almost nothing to a single steel washer that weighed a pound.Or bolts 2 foot long and an inch and a half in diameter. Or a nut seven and a half inches across. Some of those were specialty parts to places like NASA, Diamond Shamrock, Rockwell etc. I did work my way up to warehouse foreman, but my job was still toting boxes and kegs of greasy, dirty steel parts around a non cooled or and barely heated warehouse to fill, package and ship orders. The kegs could weigh up to two hundred and fifty pounds. I was just barely legally blind due to tunnel vision, so I did everything including using the battery operated three wheel walk behind one ton rated fork lift to load and unload trucks. It was a hot, dirty, nasty job. They even kept a supply of salt tablets on hand. Good thing too as I needed them on occasion. But hey from carrying all that steel around all day for years, I never lost an arm wrestling match back then. Before that I worked the kitchen etc in my Dad's bar in Glenndale Arizona. Not really much fun working a hot kitchen in Glenndale slash Phoenix Arizona either. Before that I worked shipping and receiving slash plant gopher for the repair department in a nice cool clean electronics factory named LFE. They produced analog meters of all types. You know like the toe meters used for front end alignment in cars to refrigeration control meters or the UV meters in sound equipment. At that same time my Dad, Brother and I built a house and sold it for profit. Before that I was an external automotive reconditioning specialist. Yep, dried cars at the car wash. And at the same time bought pounds and sold ounces of pot. Before that I worked on my Grandparents farm planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. That was good honest dirty hard work as well. But great fun driving the farm tractors and being the boss of the high school girls picking strawberries. Before that of course I had a paper route. Ok, so now since December 1989 I have been learning myself how to and writing blind accessible PC dos and Windows games and utilities as a hobby.
