Outdoors: a lifetime of fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, butchering, cooking, handloading and target shooting long and short range, brush cutting, trail making, firewood gathering and splitting mauls. Don't like cliffs much(vertigo), not afraid of tractors.

Auto mechanics: The only car part I have not repaired is an automatic transmission...because they're a big stinking mess. this includes ECU/MCU - hint, it's usually the caps leaking.

We are in a global crisis of systemic division, propaganda, censorship, and a corporate takeover of civil rights.
Watch out for: Long winded storytelling, A little bit Asperger's, a little bit shellshocked/ptsd. 16yrs a Navy brat.(no I won't tell you how many blades a fast attack sub has) Prefer wood stocks and grips to "modern" black plastic crap. Wheelguns keep your brass off the ground.
