For Prank Calls,

Remember 'Dialing for Dollars'? Well on one of Dave Davis's calls I prank called someone at the same time (tried this probably 10 times before) but this time someone answered at the same time that the TV one answered. I held the phone up to the TV and the lady I was pranking said, Yes and gave the count and the amount, But the caller on TV didn't know. My pranked caller was so disappointed, she started yelling 'but I do know' and then Dave says Oh I'm so sorry and hung up.

It was a very proud day seeing the Solar array deploy on the ISS. Great day, all the stress was worth it.

Have had a metal fabrication business for a long time. Hobbie/Work/Love all those things. Love steel. Anyway, my ex partner, Mick, and I built and installed these doors for PINK in her Santa Ynez winery. 14' doors To be honest I spent a Christmas Break making them so couldn't be with my wife during Christmas. Will never do that again.

Designed these 'Vertical Restraints’for an oil platform off of Greenland. I know, Oil, but until we all ride bikes, like I do to work, then we can't talk. These restraints held 900 kips! I designed a longitudinal restraints that held 3000 kips. The most Mechanical Engineering job I ever had. Problem was, oil dumped, and so did the company. Loved this job.
