First a little history
I am 52 years old this month . I am happily married to the same wife for 30 + years and have 2 Great boys age 14 and 16
I am the number 6 child out of 12 and i am a twin (paternal) the same mother and father for all 12 of us i was raised on tennant farms and came up the hard way. My Mother cooked with a wood stove and we heated with wood untill 1970 If you ate it you grew it or Killed it when the dinner call went out you was quick to the table if ya wanted your share
i have raised tobacco by the acres . worked Beef operations worked dairy operations. and have done about all the type feild grain and produce tpye crops that are common to the kentucky area.
I owned and operated a Remodeling company for 20 years mostly remodeling turn of the century German built houses . For the U S Dept of Housing Restoring them back to their original state . And in doing so you had to be correct down to the most minute detaill which means you had to fabricate a lot of your materials on site.
i currently manage maintenance on a 375 unit manufactured housing community and enjoy my job as it also supplys me with a verry large shop and and a place to play with my cubs
i have had 27 cubs to date and have restored a good number of them sold a few in their work clothes and parted a few so others could make the legend live on
Cubs are my Hobby and it is what keeps my sanity
A lot of you have met me and i have met a lot ot you Fellas as i tell all new people i send to the Forum it is like a big family reunion when we get togather only better cause there ain't some of them bickering about what Susie or Billy said
Thanks to a Great bunch Glad to be a part of it

you are so right about the family thing. I've never felt so apart of something so great ever in my life. I feel so thankful for each and every person that has been so open-armed to me as I've grown up these past 3 years that i've been on here.
