Hello,
I retired from the FAA and Air Traffic Control in 2019 after working for over 40 years in Fort Worth, Texas. Before that I served in the US Navy for four years as an Air Traffic Controller. Two years stationed in NAF Sigonella, Sicily and 2 years aboard the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier out of Norfolk, Va.
I like to spend time completing woodworking projects, refinishing antiques, and going to auctions. Hiking or long walks in the woods, on the beach, anywhere that I can enjoy the fresh air. My camera goes everywhere, I take candid shots of people, humorous situations, the beauty of nature, my next meal ha!. I play the harmonica and am trying to learn the Ukulele. I enjoy tending to a vegetable garden each year and what we don't eat fresh, we preserve by canning and/or pickling.
Car shows are a blast, currently I am searching for either a 1958 Chevy Impala or 1958 Austin Healey Bug-eye or 1971-73 Buick Riviera (boat tail) to restore, although anything sitting in a garage or barn for the last 40 or 50 years would be cool too.
My wife (of 38 years) and I recently moved to the north east corner of Tennessee and are currently searching for property to grow a small orchard and raise some small farm animals.
I am restoring my chicken coop to get back in the chicken raising hobby. Hopefully will get about 6 chickens that will provide me eggs and entertainment (they are crazy!!). I would love to have room for some goats. I am also taking courses and lessons to set up my own backyard apiary (bee hive).
I would enjoy colorful postcards that portray or celebrate your town or local customs/culture or landscapes.
A note about yourself and how you fit into your world would be an added bonus. Peace.
