What do you do for a living?

Glad to get to know you boys better, great thread.

I have been in the Oil & Gas industry for 36 years. Background and advanced degrees in petrophysics, geology, business & math. Lucky to have survived and have worked in 99 countries. The career about killed my wife [travel with her raising 3 boys] - contracted tuberculosis in 2009 and various exotic ills from Russia, India and Brazil. We have been in Dallas & Oklahoma since 1985. Wife is a flight attendant for American.

Look forward to learning more about you fellas.

is it something similar to the optomap? I just had my eyes checked a few weeks ago and had that done...pretty wild. I had it done 2 years ago as well.

I wasn't familiar with that product, looks pretty nifty. I couldn't tell from the descriptions whether they can do multiple kinds of scans at the same time?

Yes, it's the same basic idea. We use a single kind of scanning technology called optical coherence tomography (OCT) that gives you a 3-D view into the retina. Instead of going for as big a field of view as possible like the optomap, we go in the opposite direction, zooming in on a 1- or 2-degree square patch of tissue at high enough resolution that we can see individual cells. Here's a nice picture.

So I was a union ironworker for 20 years but injuries in the line of duty led me to learn to tattoo and I worked in street shops for 23 years. Retired for 8 or 9 years now.

That's quite the shift. I love ink. Trying to figure out building out a shoulder piece right now around a pilgrim's cross I got in Jerusalem on a mission trip. Lots of ideas, but most of them so far don't quite work for me. Probably time to sit down with an artist and start working on some sketches. I've had the cash saved up for almost 3 years now.
