Began striping in 1955 after seeing it in the car magazines. Wasn't my real job, but pretty good on a part time basis for a few extra bux. Covererd tri-state corner of Nebraska, Colorado & Wyoming. After five years of that, went off in a completely different career direction, but still dabbled just to keep my hand in it, mostly doing stuff for friends and family. Ratcheted it up a couple of clicks 20 years ago, but now that I'm retired from my regular job I'm doing even more. Prefer doing what I want and when I want rather than the pressure of having to get it done or someone's strange project. Like all the new stuff I see on this site, but still like to lean back on the older fifties styles when I can.
