Re: Tell us about yourself.

60 Years old and retired! Was married for 35 years before she went home. Got one son - 33 and his wife 31, and they have 2 sons 5&7. They live nearby, so I get alot of family time with them.<br /><br />Love to golf, love to fish. Love to sit on the porch and watch the sun rise with a cup of UNFLAVORED black coffee (can a guy find that anymore).<br /><br /> Not a true "love" for boating as most of you here... it's just one of the tools I need to achieve my limit of Eyes - alot of work, owning a boat.

Re: Tell us about yourself.

I am 6' 4" 210 lbs with deep blue eyes... oh wait.. sorry, wrong site! <br /><br />Seriously, I'm 38, married with a son 4, a cat (age unknown) and a Cocker Spaniel 4 monts old.<br /><br />I've been married for 13 years but we have been "together" for, get this, about 25-years! Really, no kidding....<br /><br />I am currently a lay-a-bout house dad - just taken a little break to spend time with the family and indulge my passions a little. It was either take a break or I was going to be dead by 50... And although I love her dearly, no way I was gonna finance a party I couldn't attend if ya know what I mean.<br /><br />I happened on to this site because I had a stuck trim ram and have hung around ever since. You are all a bunch of good guys and I like trying to help people and learn at the same time.<br /><br />The old 80/20 rule really does apply here. About 80% of the people who drift through with a problem have one of a handful of problems and/or questions.<br /><br />Enough from me. NEXT

ralph you sure held out a long time for that! :D <br /> <br />ralph of course i dont know you, but you remind me of my best friend who decided to take his own life a couple years ago. no offense! but he to was a electronic engineer, he got his degree at devry and ended up working for a company based in new york called general semiconductor he lived in california and he to traveled all over the world, constantly. he was the smartest guy i have ever known, and the beat fishing friend i ever had.<br />his wife told me it was the pressure of the job that made him do it. so i just wanted to tell you about that and say to you, dont let the pressure get to you!
