Well, here goes....(this is like the personal ads on Yahoo). I am a 49 year old, born-again, conservative Republican (though both parents are Dems), former dairy farmer (yes, PETA, I've held animals in bondage!), have been an off-road advocate for over 35 years, both 2 and 4 wheeling, and I consider myself a liberal's worst nightmare: a redneck with a pickup, a library card, and a conceled carry permit!

I love any type of racing or competition that involves internal combustion, from F-1 to NASCAR to motocross to tractor pulls! I have been married twice, this time (and for the LAST time) for over 5 years to a better woman than the first one, with 3 boys to go with my 2. (Their ages range 27, 26, 24, 23, 19. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment!) No grandkids yet, but all things in their own time.

I currently work for the USPS as a relief mail carrier. Although I have had no "formal" training ('cept from my father), I am also an accomplished mechanic, welder, carpenter, plumber, and electrician. I can fix just about anything, (my wife says I even fixed her broken heart!), and if I'm not working for the Postal Service, I'm working on my house, my truck, my motorcycle, or anything someone brings me to fix. I did a right-hand conversion (put the steering wheel and pedals on the OTHER side of the car) to a 1980 Chevy Malibu, which I use to deliver mail in, and my co-workers keep me busy fixing stuff for them (everything from brakes and engine/transmission swaps, to farm tractors). I FAITHFULLY listen to Rush, Hannity, Glen Beck, Mark Levine, and Jerry Doyle (Michael Garabaldi from "Babylon 5") when I can... If they don't have it, or it ain't on FR, it ain't worth bothering with!!!

To quote my favorite Southern humorist, the late, great, Lewis Grizzard (pronounced "griz ZARD"), who was American by birth; Southern by the Grace of God... "My political views are of the Right, because if you're Left, you can't go right, and if you're Right, you can't go wrong!"

The best, greatest, ONLY reference book needed by CIVILIZED (read: non-muslim) man to live by is the Holy Bible. Learn it. Love it. LIVE IT!
