42. Married 20. Grew up farming. Been putting food on the table working on equipment and over the road trucks my whole life. Do some machine work also. Catfish when I can, shoot when not catfishing and when not doing that I am going to a Teakwondo tournament with my son. Next stop is the US Open in Vegas. Just him and I. The wife is missing out on this one. Oh.. and a goofy A@@ English mastiff and lots of chickens.

Im 19, And i work as a Network Operation Center Technician for a Local ISP. I have a really have quite the resume for a kid my age. Ive done all kinds of crap like working at wendy's to cleaning out 5,000 gallon mixers, to teaching skiing and providing tech support.

I love using my hands and working on stuff and figuring things out, i love challenges. Every now and again, i might cuss the challenge, hell, i might kick the ever living crap out of the challenge, but eventually like all ford men seem to do i over come it.haha

We bought my oldest daughter (9) a Malamute this summer. The thing is only 5 1/2 months old and it's bigger than our adult breeding Husky female.
She's going to be freaking HUGE! .......The Malamute, not my daughter....

Seems I am in the older half on here, nice to see a lot of younger guys. I am 48, married for 18 years. No kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats. Nuclear rocket scientist, I am an engineer currently working with the Air Force. I work on nukes, mostly longer term development setting requirements. Some work for support of current stockpile. Lot of gov't administrative BS and inefficiencies.

I have and work on old cars as my hobby, my 88 F-250 4x4 is my only diesel. Inherited from my father, it is real nice shape

I build and repair almost all of my stuff. I don't have any real spectacular show winning vehicles, but I have a lot of fun building and driving them.
