I hope I am posting my intro in the correct place.
Hi, I am retired (as of this last November (2015). I was raised and am living just outside of Austin Texas.
Garage(s):
I have a two car garage attached to our house. I actually keep two cars in there! My shop is about fifty feet removed from the house and is comprised of a two car garage with an adjoining efficiency apartment space. (tool and equipment storage, clean room work, office, bathroom and Shower.)
I was employed over the years in a number of ways. Early on I was a field tech and sales rep for a golf cart dealer, I ran a high end foreign car salvage yard for a while. I sold John Deere equipment at a John Deere dealer, Sold a boat load of tires and service for Firestone Tire and Rubber, Took years of abuse and had way too much fun selling service for Dodge Chrysler and Ford dealers and even spent too much time killing pests in nasty *** apartments and filthy restaurants. (I do not recommend the pest control business except to my most ardent enemies). Somewhere in there I had my own computer repair and retailing business for a while. Damn you Michael Dell and your way too cheap computers!
Rolling stock:
2014 Ford Hybrid C-Max. 40mpg! That's good stuff even at current prices!
2009 Nissan Sentra (the wife's wheels) w/about 45k miles. Any one want a Sentra? LOWWWW mileage, good on gas!
2010 F250 Gas burner. I sold service for Ford remember? Much of my living was made on the backs of Diesel drivers.
21' bumper pull camper.
2014 Kubota 4x4 B3300SU w/ loader Ok, yes it is a diesel.
1999 Craftsman 20hp garden tractor
1964 Sears Suburban SS14 garden tractor(project)
1960 (?) Minneapolis Moline 106 garden tractor(project)
Other stuff:
Recently restored Old sears 4" jointer
Running even Older Craftsman scroll saw (Tilting table type)
Early 70s Wards Radial Arm Saw (recently out of commission again!)
1940s Sheldon 10" Metal lathe (running but a work in progress)
A lot more Welding, Wood Working and Wrenching stuff that there is barely room in the shop for.
Introduction done.
