Greetings!
I have been checking out steemit for the last week and finally decided to create an account. I am an American male, age 52 this year. I have a wonderful wife that I have had the pleasure to be married too for the last thirty three years. We have raised four kids in that time. They are all grown up and now on their own doing their own thing.
I have always been pretty much self-employed, I have always had that drive to work for myself and make my own way in life. Every once in a while I would need to work for someone else's company to get my next venture off the ground. But I have always did what was necessary to make sure my family was taken care of before I started chasing the self-employment train again.
My blog will mostly be about carpentry,....I'll try to stay away from politics as much as possible, and them pesky conspiracies that seem to be blatantly in your face now-a-days. But No Promises!
Hmm, Not sure if you want to know this or not but I'll tell you anyway. I have been a paperboy 4- 8 routes at age 10, Lawn mowing business from age 10 to 15 seasonal and snow removal during that same time for the winter months mostly by hand shovel and hand spread salt. I learned to use wood and metal hand tools from age 5 started using power tools at age 10 or so. I was always building something or taking stuff apart (which sometimes got me into hot water with my father). I have learned to use heavy equipment farm tractor, bulldozer, skid steer, track hoe, and many others, I was an over the road truck driver for a few years, that did not agree with me one bit. but forging on I am always looking for new stuff to learn and do. Aside from high school and a bit of community collage I am self tought in most things that where not covered in public schools.
Hobbies include but not limited too: Bee Keeping (this one might get me in trouble with the city council we will see once I get some bees. :-)) Hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, target shooting (steel, paper and sometimes live, NO! NO! NOT them, the four legged ones that climb trees and taste like chicken that are knee high to a grass hopper! SQUIRRELS! very tasty critters! ), horse back riding, Gun smiting, machining, wood turning, carpentry, metal casting!, OK maybe I should have just said everything? Well I hope you find my blog entertaining as well as informative. Be sure to follow 
Peace to all and have a great day!
