I am a paramedic for a private ambulance company. I absolutely love my job, the hours are long, the pay could be better but hey I get to do something I love. I am married to a wonderul woman, wish I would have met her earlier in life but hey God always has a plan. I have 2 boys from a previous marriage, they are 20 and 17 and I am very proud of them both. My oldest is a junior at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, CA and majoring in aerospace engineering. The boy is gonna be a rocket scientist,LOL. My youngest is a senior in HS and is looking at a local community college after graduation. The LOML is a nurse in a busy labor and delivery unit. She also has 2 boys of her own that are 15 and 9. They are great kids but do suffer from ADHD. It has been a challenge for me but I think I am gaining on them. My wife is a wonderful and caring woman and I cant imagine every being without her, she puts up all my crap. I dont know how she does it but I am sure glad she does. God Bless to all.

Hello Ken,

Welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be an exciting and rewarding part of your woodworking experience.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless
