About me. Well, where to begin.
The pic above says allot about me. That's me through and through :-)
First off there are several pictures on this page. Just click on a pic to see a larger version of it. After clicking on a picture to get back to this page, just click the Back Button in your Browser. :-)
I'm Not your average guy. I've been through 3 back injuries. In the course of these injuries, I've had a vertebra broke in my low back, all my ribs knocked out of place, both hips knocked out of place and I've torn most the tendons and ligaments in my back three times. and you know what? I'm still walking. Guess I'm to stubborn to give up or quite. After the back injuries, I had to give up Mechanic work. Funny thing. Even after the injury that broke my back I got up and walked away. In Major pain, but walking still the same. I was told I shouldn't have been able to. I've got my fair share of back problems now, but I don't let it stop me. It has slowed me down a bit and I don't take some of the chances I use to. The only other thing that has come about from all this is a slight anxiety problem. I don't like being around crowds. But I don't let it stop me either.
As for my Personality. Well I've been referred to as a lot of thing.
The Strong Silent Type, Shy, Quiet, Nice, Sweet, Kind, Honest, Easy Going, A Romantic, A Good Listener, and an Understanding Person, Virtuous, Stubborn, a Perfectionist. and a Die hard. I'm the kind of person that when I do something, I Like to do it right. If I can't do it right, I won't do it at all!
My financial situation has gone from having the money to do what I wanted when I wanted, to scrapping to get by, to now making end meet. and through all this I've figured out one main thing. Money doesn't make the world go round. It helps in some things. but all in all it can't make you happy.
I have an above average IQ. This doesn't mean I'm a genius, but I'm also no Fool. And I like learning new things.
I'm a bit of a romantic at heart. I've got Romantic pages at (Geo Cites.) This is the starting point.
My favorite quotes are.
"Treat others as you would have them Treat You!"
"A Little bit of Kindness goes a long ways."
"Some times the simple things in life are the Best!"
Simple hu.... :-)
I Like the outdoors, I like hunting, fishing, Target Practicing, and playing on this computer, I've built a Few Computers and helped a lot of people with computer problems, I've also set up my own Network here in my house. I also like playing with graphics on the computer. I Like Antiques, I've Restored Several for other People, and even pickup up a couple for myself. Here is a Walnut Rocker I Restored for Myself. It's sitting in my Living room.
And I like playing around with my trucks. As I'm sure you already noticed. If you haven't then GO CHECK THEM OUT!
My Taste in Shows is Varied, I Like SiFi, Comedy, Romance, Documentaries, History, and a lot more. Oddly enough I don't watch that much TV. I'm usually on the go or doing something.
And this is me after a long and HOT day, lounging on the sofa watching a little TV. The Quality of the photos isn't very good, in fact it's really BAD, but they were taken with a Really CHEAP digital Camera. So what can you expect. lol And I'm also Hot, Tired, and a little Bit Dirty.
This is also me when I'm not Hot tired and Dirty. :-)
this is a more recent pic of me.
New pictures below It's me and my GMC I Restored.
There's a lot more pic's of it and what I went through to restore it on my GMC page. You should take a look. :-)
Here's a pic of my old boat. It was all white, So I Painted it.
I was born and raised in Kansas. I Spent a few years living and working in Texas. Half way between Houston and Galveston. Learnt allot while I was there. Right now I live in the house I was raised in. long story, but since no one was living there I couldn't see it going to waist, so here I am. fixing it back up which is a full time job in its self...lol This is a pic of me during the move.What a MESS! LOL
Below are two shots of my son and I working on the house. I'm the one on the right. :-)
Did i mention we're also repainting the old house. the front is pretty much painted. this is the back of the house.

And here's a pic of my dog, her name is Lady, I call her Yuppie. She's a pure bread. I won't bother telling you her registered name, it's a bit long...lolThe other day she dug up a baby cotton tail rabbit. it didn't even have it's eyes open and i knew it wouldn't live if I just left it, so guess what. Raising a baby bunny is all kinds of fun...lol It's got it's eyes open now and I figure in about a month it will be big enough to turn back loose, but for now it's living in a box in the kitchen. And on occasion I let it run on the living room floor. the poor dog doesn't know what to think...lol But I don't think she'll be digging up any more bunnies....LOL
and here's pic's of the bunny.
Pocket Bunny. Not something you see everyday. :-)
Update
The Bunny has been set free. time to join it fellow Bunnies. :-)
On a Sad Note, Lady Died in her sleep 7/16/2001 She will Most Assuredly Be Missed!
For those of you that find it silly to mention a dogs death, you have never had a truly Faithful and Loyal Pet / Friend. She was a Truly special Dog, and won't soon be forgotten!
Ok Back to Me.
Why in the world I got into 4X4s I don't really know. I just like them. And I like hot cars also. even use to do a little drag racing in my younger years. even did some on the local drag strip. :-) I still do a little racing now and then on the main drag in town. even though I know I shouldn't. just can't get that part of the kid out of me. :-) Right now I've had to suspend my lead foot. because I'm in the process of restoring My old Truck.
I also do woodworking, I'm not a cabinet builder by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm pretty fair at it. Also like working with my wood lath, I seem to have a natural talent for that. I use to operate my own Furniture Refinishing Business for several years. really enjoyed doing that.
What else.... I play around with leather work also. made a few items. Gun holster and things like that. Here's a pic of the holster I made for my Ruger 357Mag I did all the tooling on it myself.
I guess you could say I'm multi talented...
I've never really found anything I couldn't do if I really wanted to.I also fix things. It's a habit I guess, and I enjoy it. My Son calls me Mr. Fixit... :-)
I also hunt with a Bow. but with my back problems I'm finding it increasingly hard to do. :-(
Now I mainly I just Target Practice.
Ok Time to get back to the home page.
