    Hey folks. New old guy here from SE Iowa.

    Ive been into this survival thing for a very long time but dont pretend to know everything about everything.

    Im happily married with children and grandchildren. I earn a living as a millwright but also dabble in some investing, own a few rental properties and am a bit of an entrepreneur. Im currently developing a couple components which I hope will eventually be picked up by companies like the one I currently work for.


    Anyway. Thanks for having me. I hope we can all enjoy eachothers company.

    Thanks guys.

    Chellovek. I can deal with just about anyone. Havent seen much drama in my lurking here yet. But I'm still on day one.

    I live life by a pretty simple philosophy. Treat people the way they need to be treated. How they need to be treated is largely determined by how they treat me.

    This said, my mouth filter is barely functional most of the time.

    Agreed. (court jester 'n' all).

    If you have been lurking here for a while, then you'll probably know where the gold is.

    I too was a lurker for quite a while, before becoming an active member. I look forward to your contributions and questions.

    Some folks have their peculiarities (self not excepted),but the capacity for helpfulness and generosity here is considerable...you have made a sound decision to make this patch one of your stomping grounds. :)

    Anyway. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

  11. Welcome to the monkey tree OM.. How did you fetch up in Iowa. Kind curious 'cause I was born (and live) here where the river runs west, by choice...I worked 23 years in a far eastern suburb, Aurora Ill. couldn't wait to retire and move home. More in my rants about Illinois elsewhere
