Hello all. As you can see I'm new here. I've been reading the forum for awhile though, and I figured it was time to join and introduce myself finally.

I'm young compared to many of you, old to some. I was born and raised a farmboy. Did the usual country kid stuff when I was younger. Joined the Army and did my time as an infantryman. I now work in the hardware business, while saving money to get my butt back into school. I am married but do not have any children yet. I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, shooting sports, gardening, and many many other things.

Anyway, thank you to everyone for sharing so many great ideas and tips on here. Now, time to get back to reading...

Thanks all. Sadly I need to get to bed soon so I don't fall asleep on my shift tomorrow. haha What's that saying about early to bed, early to rise? Oh yeah, it leads to a dull life!

Book marked a few more threads to read on my breaks tomorrow. Check back then. Good night everyone!

Yeah, remember there is a 10 year limit or something before you can't use it.

Thank you all again.

For school I should clarify. I will be going back to school to finish a degree. I still have a year left on the original major, then grad school. Sometimes life throws you a curve and you are stuck not being able to do exactly what you want, when you want to do it. But I'll get there in time.
