Get to know me!
« on: February 18, 2015, 05:00:04 PM »

I'm getting sick of reading everyone's comments and not really having any idea who I'm talking to.  Have the smart pin this one to the top for quick reference and let's get to know each other a little better.  I have pictures in my head of what a lot of you are like but I really have nothing to base it off.  For instance I picture slim as skinny,mustache,ratty jeans,smoker,prescription glasses that auto darken when he goes outside,middle 50's,not much into sports,into politics,not a big drinker but maybe a cheap beer if anything!  Let's hear from ya!  I didn't mean to offend you either slim,that's just what I picture when I read your posts!  I will get it started.  I'm 33 years old,just got married in September,have my first kid due this september.  I'm a concrete guy of 13 years.  Residential,commercial,agriculture,walls,flat work,stamped,decorative we do it all.  Feel free to ask questions if you want.  Everyone seems to have questions about concrete.  I live in the country in a log home I built 5 years ago with no female influence and now that I'm married with a kid on the way was that ever a dumb idea!  I'm from a town of roughly 150 people in west central Wisconsin.  I'm about 20 minutes from la crosse and the Mississippi river.  I built a new shed last winter/spring for toy storage and tinkering (heated of course!). I'm into camping,grilling on my Green Egg,occasional drinker,Busch light and captain Morgan, cutting wood,Wisconsin badgers,Green Bay packers,and I quit smoking two weeks ago with Chantix.  I View myself as a libertarian for the most part.  Let's see what we all have in common rather than heating independence.  Can't wait to hear from ya.  Almost forgot,I got a 10 year old lab and 4 year old cocker spaniel who love going to the stove with me.  Also have two semi tame angora cats that sleep 4 feet away from my wood stove door.  It's only a matter of time till an ember lands on one and good night!

I'm 53 years old, never married, no children (I think  ;)), love a shot of Jim Beam whiskey once in a while, wear bi-focal glasses, auto darkening, beard & mustache, physically fit although the back is acting up due to working nearly 20 years in the EMS system, raised in the house I'm in now, lived alone for the past 9 years (took care of dad in his late stages of life before he died 9 years ago) until about 5 months ago one of younger bro's moved in to ease his financial burden as well as mine, I was raised in a town of about 5,000 people, on the border of VT near the Dartmouth College area, I work at Dartmouth College at their Engineering School (you can ask engineering questions but I will not know the answer), quit smoking cold turkey over 20 years ago (a 2.5 pack/day habit).  My political views are center to right, more right leaning, not a fanatic though.

Atvalaska,is that competition smoked brisket?  What do you smoke on?  What a beautiful view and I'm a moral mushroom man myself.  To eat not to sell!  Roger I had you pegged!  Would I be fair in saying most on this site are right leaning?  Would anyone actually admit being on the left?!?!

If Heatmaster seen me walk in there plant Walt and Ryan would run so fast your head would spin!  I will wait for you outside!  I doubt I will ever get up their way but do you think they would give tours to any customer joe?

 36 years young, married, 3 sons six and under. Live in central Wisconsin a few miles from sluggo. Purchased and remodeled the home I was raised in from my parents. I am a flooring salesman, if anybody has any questions let me know. My hobbies are I drive a NASCAR late model racecar here in Wisconsin, camping, family fun,and of course harvesting firewood. 5'9" tall and 175lbs with a buzz cut. I call it like I see that's probably why I don't have a ton of friends. Oh I almost forgot my dog Charlotte 7 year old crapzu who was our first child.
