Hello. I am a fulltime utility worker, parttime knifemaker, and very interested in learning to weld. I am trying to read all I can to learn all I can. I am also wracking my brains out trying to decide on what mig welder to buy!

Ask her if she remembered the redheaded cousins that used to come and visit. That was me and my brother. All the local kids would laugh at us cause we had city accents.

Theyre down in Florida now. I used to love it there, tell your wife I used to fish the heck out of that pond on the other side of the woods at the top of the hill. I used to hang out with Keith and his younger brother if that helps. I always got along with the trouble, I know. Still laughing bro, very smalll world

Those where my guys! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Forgot little Scotts name! Yo bud very small world. Very small. Tell your wife I used to run that 1/4 mile 90 degree hill full speed on my bicycle and do 300ft skids till my tire popped, was always in trouble. One day I came out of aunt Lindas driveway going full blast and the chain fell off going down that hill with the barbred wire cow fence at the bottom intersection and had to abort. Till this day was probably one of the, worst crashes iv'e ever been in. Road rash everywhere, head, face, elbows,shoulders, knees everything. I was famous after that. Ask your wife if she remembered that one!

Bro swear to god, I was like 8yrs old when that happened and I was yelling for help on the way down cause all I saw was that barbed wire fence coming up quick, and I just remember one of the neighbors screaming at me "SHUT THE FCK UP" as I was about to die by barbed wire or a car passing by!
