I guess I'll go ahead and introduce myself.

I'm Jim. I'm from Vanderbilt, PA. Right outside of Connellsville. I'm about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. I own three Fords. Two F150s - a 1977 and a 1994, and an 1989 F250. They all have their ups and downs, but so does everything. I'm currently laid off from work, so I'm just a part time farmer right now. I run heavy equipment for the family construction business. We mainly do above and in ground swimming pools, so if any of you have a pool question, don't hesistate to ask. I've been doing swimming pools since I was 12. Haha. I'm an ex athlete (baseball, ice hockey in high school and soccer, basketball, baseball, and football in grade school and junior high). Now I just work, drink beer and play around with pickup trucks. I'm an easy guy to get a long with. I'm looking forward to making to one of the meet and greets so I can start putting faces with names.

It's nice to be here and thank you for welcoming me to the chapter.
