What do Baja Nomads do for a living?


I am in the landscape irrigation and lighting business working outdoors... So, on these rainy, wet days I am not repairing or installing! I know some other Nomads who are in construction and also are home right now, too! When not in Baja or dreaming about Baja or reading Baja Nomad...

What do you do?

Since moving to Baja full-time, we've never been so busy (except of course when we were working!). Bajamigo is retired, I just don't work any more (for money anyway). We stay busy, busy, busy!

As little as possible? I work for Boeing in Long Beach. I am a Aircraft Inspector in the wing build up area on C-17 military cargo jets. Been there about 20 years and hope to get another 10-20 years.
I like aircraft manufacturing but am not crazy about about wing build because I spend alot of time climbing around inside aircraft fuel tanks which is very difficult.
But it's a good job that pays okay so no worries.
