So you get back now.

Now what? Out of the bike game again.

Really? Yeah, I went to the oil field.

What? Yeah.

Again, for the money.

Right.

I moved back to Colorado in 2014 and went to work for a drilling company as a robotics mechanic.

So I wasn't like a roughneck on a rig or anything.

I was a maintenance mechanic.

And it was great.

I loved it.

It was...

It was challenging.

Right.

It was stuff I didn't know anything about.

So it was, every day was, you know, I learned something.

Right.

And I really, really liked it.

And I did that for about three years.

Here in Colorado? Yep.

Okay.

And 2016, when the election rolled around, oil took a dive, as it does every election year, and we all got laid off.

Huh.

Which is, that's kind of the game in the oil field.

But that was when I decided, I think I just want to build bikes for a living.
