Little bit more about us?

I'd like to get to know you guys better.

So other than FTE-Do Gooders and Ford Aficionados, what do y'all do?

I'll start. I'm a full time student (except summer) and I run a hauling business. I'm, in school to be a Paramedic.

Department manager for a manufacturing company. This is how I buy beans each week.

What I really do is hunt, shoot, fish, woodwork, and burn as much fossil fuel as possible.

Concrete/masonry work is my business, so I spend a lot of time trying to remember where I put my damned tape measure. I love hunting birds, but will also shoot (at) stationary objects with a handgun or rifle when given the opportunity.


Other than that I'm a little on the tall side, and not particularly good at math.

Vegetable seeds business for me. I lead a research group that figures out how to grow the best quality veggie seeds (26 species) that farmers will buy to put tomatoes, peppers, onions, broccoli, etc. on our tables. I'd much rather be camping, hiking, climbing, trail riding hanging out with the 5 yr old son and 1 & 3 yr old grand kids (also have a married daughter). Lived in France for a while, but as y'all know, not much need for that language in Cali.

For the next 5 months and 26 days, I work at a landfill doing survey, engineering, CAD, and whatever else happens to be going up in flames at the moment. After that, my schedule's open.

You Bet! 5 months, 23 days, tic tic tic. I'll be in So Cal for about another year getting the house fixed up. Then it's up to Trinity County, Nor Cal. Hope the Nor Cal chapter will accept a refugee for down south. I just noticed that TreySpooner 65 is a neighbor here in Ventura. Nice to know ther are other members in the area. Gail and I will try to attend some G2G's before we move.

Outstanding! So Bubba and the port-a-palace are heading for Hayfork, huh? We'll have to have a shindig up your way before you go.

I'm sure the NoCal chapter would be happy to have you.

Lots of room at our place up north. I've considered having a weekend stayover for my friends but we have a grumpy neighbor (my brother-in-law) that might start taking potshots at us if we make too much noise.

Assembly Supervisor, building Aircraft for the military. Love what I do while at work, but we all only work so we can play so... I enjoy camping, off-road, dirt-bikes/quads, hiking, fishing, hunting (small game & Bird) and spending time with my boys (3 & 1y/old now) and of course turning the wrenches on the 7.3L
