Howdy from Big Sandy, Tennessee

Well, looks like I have you beat. I turned 62 Ocober 24th and now getting my SS check. I love retirement. I do sell carports and storage buildings from my home. The wife is still working even though she had retired from Western Baptise Hospital in Pauchah. She now works at Vanderbuilt in Nashville couple days a week. They pay good there. I figured on the SS check, I better get it while I can. With our Government, you never know when the funds might run out. Started buying tools when you were twelve? Wow, that is something. Just must have been in you blood.

Back in those days money was hard to come by. I picked cotton ($2.50 a hundred #'s) and saved up $25. I bought a Jap crap set of 1/2 inch drive sockets. I still have most of it. My dad had a few odd and end wrenches, screwdrivers, a hammer and a wire brush. I took our old reel type lawn mower apart and put it back every week until mom caught me. The peach tree in the back yard lost another limb over that. I did a lot of dumb things but learned how to make things work. I still get a kick out of taking a piece of junk and getting it to work. I don't own a boat, motorcycle, or anything like that. I bought tools and built my hot rod toys. Hope to meet you someday and show you my home made junk. Have a good day. Ron (Mr Round Tuit)
