Default Hello From Weeki Wachee, FL

Howdy all!

First, I want to thank RiverUSMC for inviting me to be a member here!

I was a tank gunner in the Army a while back, and ETS'd from Benning on 28March75.

I'm a fifth generation Florida Cracker and retired Ombudsman enjoying life on the water in SW Florida.

I shoot a bit of IDPA, and am a graduate of Brownie's Volusia TF Pistol class this past November.

I like to hunt, spearfish, boating, work on guns (particularly 1911's), motorcycle, bicycle, Kayak, and play guitar in a classic rock power trio.

I've been married almost 29 years, have two sons, and come next March; two grandkids.

I've seen more than a few familiar folks on here already, look forward to having a great time on this forum, and hope to contribute a bit where I can.

Edit: I was just reading Beerhunter's into (another Volusia Alumnus); and noticed the "Mimber" reference. I checked, and, sure enough; I've got one, damn!

In the interests of full disclosure; I'll throw myself on the sword. At one time (many moons ago) I owned four. Then I saw the light, poured out the Koolaid, and now only own one. It was a 20th Anniversary present from the wife, and I've since done a good bit of work on it so it's worth having around.

We both became more enlightened as we grew older; my 25th Anniversary present was a Baer!

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
