I'm 39 yo, married father of 3 boys (9,7 & 5).  5'9" 160 lbs with short hair and bushy beard.  Live in N Central MN but grew up in Minneapolis.  Always wanted to have some elbow room and 3 years ago bought an old farm in wife's hometown of 2,000 people.  Absolutely, love not having neighbors and spend as much time as I can outdoors.   My day job is selling Electrical Wire and Cable which I have done for the last 18 years..  I spend my spare time feeding farm animals (this helps feed my 3 growing boys), gardening,  cutting fire wood, recently took up bow hunting and the list goes on and on...  oh, and I have a big German Shepherd named Ozmon and he keeps an eye on things...

Realitivley new to "country living", the Mrs. of almost 19 years found us a place a few years back that sits on 10 acres so we jumped without even being in the market for a new place.  Now I cannot imagine living with sidewalks or even on a paved road.  Been in law enforcement for almost 16 years, after 6 years in the Navy and a few years of construction work.  6'4 320#, high and tight cut, go figure...  I love being outdoors, hunting with my 13 year old son and 15 year old daughter. We camp and love our great lakes, have two hairball machines (cats) and one Entlebucher Mountian Dog, small cousin to the Bernese. I love to problem solve everything from mechanical, electrical, electronics or just try to build anything vs. buying.  My views are right of center but not so far as to be headed back left.

I'm 26, probably considered young to some you guys on here but I grew up fast.  I graduated high school at 17 and celebrated my 18th birthday in Marine Corps boot camp.  Spent the next 5 years in the Marines with a couple deployments to some warmer areas.  I got out and took a job working in a test lab for a small engines manufacturer.  I am working on finishing up my Mechanical Engineering degree.  As much I hate seeing how much comes out of my checks for taxes I have to remember that it isn't all going to welfare and "Obama Mamas".  I would have never considered college if it wasn't for the GI bill.  So thank you guys!  3 years ago I bought a foreclosed house about an hour south of Green Bay Wi and have been working on fully remodeling it.  I just have the rec room/ bar area left to finish in the basement.  Hope to sell this house in the next few years and build on the 27 acres of woods I purchased over the summer.  I enjoy bow hunting, snowmobiling, working on the house, anything with engines, and like everyone else cutting firewood and clearing the sawdust out of my throat with some cold beer.

Thank you for your service JTS.

Just spent the last 8 hours at our local VFW helping the Mens Auxiliary out with our yearly Daytona party, not the only fund raising event for the Auxiliary but pretty much the major one.

If the snow keeps up, in the morning I'll head to the Legion and see if our lot needs plowed.

JTS - thank you for your sacrifice and service to our country. I served for 6 years in the Navy and would do it all over again if I was 17 again. Some of the best friends and memories from those years.  :thumbup:

Don't mention it, like Sluggo I have nothing but great memories and great friends from my time and wouldn't change anything if I had the chance.

Mlappin, thanks for spending your time with those guys.  I really should get involved with the VFW but don't have much time with work, school, and house projects.  The VFW by me has a fish fry every friday that is open to the public so that is my first choice of places to go if we go out to eat.  I would much rather spend my money there than at chain restaurants.

If any of you are ever in the area my door is always open and I would enjoy sharing a (or a few) beer(s) and some stories.

Even if you could only make one or two meetings a year, by joining you increase their membership by one which makes what they have to say in Washington more likely to be heard.

Our Legion in town has breakfast seven days a week and lunch Monday thru Friday, all open to the public, if I get down their at the right time for breakfast Abe is usually there, WWII veteran and he's one sharp cookie yet. Our township is building a new Emergency Services building across the road from the Legion, Abe will tell you where the water tower, round house, coaling tower and half a dozen other things used to be at the building site when the Wabash railroad and steam locomotives were still big in the area.

I enjoy sites like this because besides all the knowledge you gain, you won't find a better group of honest, hard working salt of the earth type of people anywhere else.

As for me: 47 years old, self employed electrical contractor, wife of 20 years and 2 teenage daughters who mean everything to me. I'm 5'10, 208 lbs. and now cut my own hair since it just doesn't make sense to go to the barber since there's hardly anything left. I enjoy working out, cutting wood(usually), working on my house, being outside on our land, spending time with my family and also spending time at our place on the NH seacoast. I actually enjoy my job as well.

Great idea to start this topic!

Hey Hockeyguy, you and I are the same in that we cut our own hair, difference is you use scissors or a clipper, I use a wood boiler :bash:
