Don's Story
Hi There!
Well,you know, I wasn't going to get this involved in this site, but after seeing all the names of people who've visited my page, most of whom I remember...here goes.
A brief history of what I've done since 1970...2 years at a tech school in Tampa, followed by 18 years in the Air Force. I was one of the people you never want to see actually go to "work". That's right, I worked on the big stuff. I was stationed in N. Carolina-1 yr, Louisiana-13 yrs, Belguim-1 yr, and California-3 yrs. After an early out, I managed an apt complex in Brandon for a couple of years, then became a truck driver. Been at that ever since.
I own 32 acres in Tenn and am about to begin building my own house. Log, I hope. Until then, on the 4 days a month I'm home, I live in a single room cabin that I also built with the help of my wife, who now lives in Ind. But that's not part of this story.
Until recently I had 2 companions on the road with me. Toby, a black and gray s...Expand for more
triped tabby. And Jake...an American Eskimo aka Spitz, and my best friend. On May 18th, 2009, I buried Jake. I'm gonna miss that old guy a long time. Toby is still with me and as the company I drive for has declared no new pets allowed in trucks, I will soon be making a career change. It's time to become an entrepreneur, in real estate I think.
Besides the interests I listed in my profile I enjoy studying Science, (Physics & Mathematics mostly) and I also enjoy a very busy hobby keeping track of NASA's progress. I try to watch all the launches live on NASA TV and hope to actually be at the cape for the first test launch of the new Aries rocket in Aug 2009 and the very last shuttle launch which is supposed to be in late 2010. I bet they extend the Shuttle Program into 2011. Any takers?
This has been long winded for me, but I enjoyed it, even if it bores you. Oh, by the way. The picture in my profile was taken 1993. My hair is grayer and I'm wider. Bye Ya'll
