Hi from minne soda

[dddonOne]

I am retired (finally) ...
I make, or get "needin fixin" whatever I cant find in "my" price range ......

I work on whatever ....and really find SOME of the stuff on the internet very useful .....
I spent 30 years at Honeywell in research , where it was often necessary to build what was needed , cause lots of what I worked on had never been done before.
My current projects are : rehabbing a home for one of my granddaughters , upgrading a plasma cutter to cut thicker metal , finding someone to buy a hundred tons of VW air cooled parts (really!!)....
helping a buddy keep Jack Daniels in business ..... (perhaps the most enjoyable project) ... AND enjoying time with family!!!

We have 13 great-grand , and 25 grand children ......... but only 4 kids (so far) ....(married for 60 plus years)..... yes I'm a "mature" person (82) ..... but I can still run around the block or up a few flights of steps!!
DAMN LUCKY!!! .... my secret for a long life? ............ "don't get sick an die."

Hi dddon,

Welcome - glad to have you here!

I'm with you on the secret to long life - sounds like a good plan to me!!

If you've got any photos of the plasma cutter project, we'd love to see them.

Hi dddon, welcome to the forums! Perhaps your kindheartedness in helping keep Jack Daniels afloat is what is contributing to your continued health.

Yes, longevity is a good plan. I plan on living forever...so far, it's working. Goals and recreation help too.
