My dad doesn't even know what I do for a living 🙃 thank you for being part of this community. Ive rarely participated (if ever) but it's comforting to know it's here.

Happy to! Btw what do you do for a living? Or just for fun?

I install/ repair industrial weighing/ packaging equipment. If you purchase food products packaged in the US, there's a decent chance the company I work for has at least serviced the equipment it was packaged on

That is impressive being able to install and repair stuff like that! Ive always struggled with repairing things but I've been challenging myself when things break

Thanks! It's challenging but fun. I think a lot of people get overwhelmed and assume things are too hard when it just takes a bit of looking in to.
