Opa, are you an author already? I think you should write a book, I have the feeling it would be hysterical.
I don't know just how funny a book about my life would be. Some of it would have to be censored or at least given an x-rating, but I think most of it would be rather somnolent.
I done a myriad of things in my life. I've been involved in construction since 1964 and since I retired from the fire department almost twenty years ago, I've been working with my middle son doing trim carpentry and building custom homes. In the military I was in combat engineers and my job specialty was demolition. I ended my military career as a drill sergeant at Fort Leonard Wood. I worked for American Airlines refueling planes, for United Parcel Service doing deliveries. I drove a school bus, I worked in a factory building ping pong tables, in another factory assembling diesel engines. I wound up as a full time fireman and EMT and after 21 years retired as a captain. For several years I wrote a syndicated newspaper outdoors column and was a member of the Michigan Outdoor Writers Association. I worked as videographer and editor for a few years, and did voice overs for advertising. I learned taxidermy to enhance my appreciation of nature. I do bas relief wood carvings when the mood strikes me. I guess I've spent my life learning about what intriges me and constantly trying new things. Yet when I look back at all the things I've done with my life the thing I am most proud of is my sons.
Can't wait to meet you at Chickenstock, Opa. With your trim carpentry skills, now I understand why your incubator looks so professional! I never became an EMT, but I did drive an ambulance at one time. You have been around and done a lot. I certainly respect your chicken knowledge and always welcome advice from the Old Rooster. I still think you should write a book.
