Dick Shappy is the ultimate restorer of old cars and motorcycles. You know he's good if Jay Leno brings projects to him. Click on "Projects" to view the stuff he's working (or worked) on. Look at the '34 Deusenburg...an incredible barn find. Probably the most challenging restoration is the Trolley Car...an interesting story.

Hey Rob...I'm also a computer operator (and technician for 14 different electronics systems...which seldom break down). I can't tell you who I work for as it would probably make some people mad :). Anyway, it's a GREAT job! One of these days I'm going to have to venture the 180 miles west to Indy and go for a ride with you. Best regards!

OMG!!! :o
You work for Wal*Mart!
Oh no, I guess that would place you in Arkansas....

Rob...I work for you and the rest of the taxpayers...oops, I shouldn't tell.

Oh! I hated my job at the State. yuck yuck yuck.....
Now I work for the water company. Still no apparent organization, but it is small. I do my best work when alone.
We still run a VSE mainframe to run the billing for one of the local towns.
That and the MVS and probably everything that has the name IBM will be leaving early next year, if all goes as planned.
I'm going to miss them. :(

I work for the tax payer too managing a High School network of around 500 PCs and 6 servers. Our main challenge is to keep the network secure and be one step ahead of some very smart kids. Our coolest tool was witten in VB by one of our Techicians. If a student we suspect of being up to no good logs on anywhere on the network a realtime screen shot of his PC pops up automatically on the server. It's big brother in action but we need it.

Rob and Barry...I'm glad I'm not the only "techy" on this site. I know that Justin is because he put the site together (Thanks Justin!).
I'm glad some of my articles are appreciated by other site members. I enjoy stories about old BMWs (naturally), WW2 discoveries and history, and anything involving bike or car restorations.
If you read nothing else from the above mentioned website, read this article about the 1934 Duesie stashed in a carriage house for 60 years...absolutely fascinating.
