Concrete and cattle. Always been pretty handy fixing stuff, good thing 'cause I've always been a pretty fair hand at breaking stuff too.

The last dove shoot I went on, I got 14 doves with 17 shots. Never went to the second barrel. I'm trying my hardest to be a good Grandfather to my 4 Grandchildren. That is what I think is the most important thing right now.

Marriage: lots of experience here, been married 31 years ....................... 3 yr the first time, 10 yr the second time, 18 yr the third time. I won't try a fourth.
Parenting: raised 2 daughters from the 3rd ex, they chose to live with me not her.
Carpentry/construction: worked my way through college working general construction, later built my own home. Did EVERYTHING except the foundation.
Shooting: best claim to fame is 1st place out of 52 shooters at a DCM/CMP match using a 308 M1 vs M1s, M1As, and ARs. I built up that gun from nothing but the receiver from an old 46 Springfield Korean return.
Cooking: I can whip up some mean Chinese and Thai dishes
Hunting: ducks, geese, pheasants, woodcock, turkey, squirrels, rabbits and deer have all graced my table.
Fishing: pretty deadly on any of the Great Lakes species, I learned from 2 of the best, my dad and brother chartered for years on Erie and Ontario.
Social Media: I'm a strong introvert, but I'll often voice my $.02, especially if I know it runs against the grain, or if I can give someone else a compliment. I can go toe-to-toe with the best bullies/loudmouths though if they poke on me first, otherwise I don't waist my breath.

Used to be pretty good at building stuff. Now I'm really good at retirement. Ditto......I'm a good driver too (or maybe lucky).....haven't had a ticket or accident in almost 40 years.

Designing and making fixtures,.....and writing love letters to pretty girls.
It's been a life that's worth living. I've seen what you've shown us here, and I've been impressed.

When I was in high school, I used to hang around the local service station whenever I'd get the chance. One day an old scroungy looking guy pulled up and got some gas, and as he was driving off, the fellow that worked there said that that guy got more puzzy than anyone in the country. In my youthful ignorance, I said that it must be because he had a big schlong, or a lot of money. Nope, says the service station guy, it's because he knows how to keep his mouth shut. A lot of women will give you some, if you won't tell about it, he said.
So, I suspect there are those who won't brag about what they're good at. So how did anybody know he got so much trim?

I learned to keep my mouth shut in high school real quick. The guys would ask, I would say nope.

Don't sell yourself short. Who else here could possibly read an entire thread and still produce such wonderfully rapid response? ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/v0R3hHc.png) That's serious skill and production.
