I'm a little country, a little rock & roll, a little bit outlaw and ever bit a gentleman. an ARMY Veteran, industrial electrician/general contractor that's self sufficient and self reliant, a "Do-it-yourself,Jack-of-all-trades" Check out my blog at http://therecykler.blogspot.com/ have a great sense of humor & enjoy kids, music, working out, cooking, teaching and gardening. I don't care for drama, cigarette smoke, traffic or small minded plastic people. if you took the time to meet me and talk with me you might make a friend. I own a house in Phoenix (might lease it out) and a ranch in the Missouri Ozarks.Its about a square mile of rolling hills covered in hardwoods, Deer, Turkey and all wildlife with two creeks and limestone cliffs and caves. I love the four seasons especially where its located below the arctic zone and above the temperate so all four are relatively mild. It's only a few miles from a small town to the east and lake of the Ozarks resort to the west and not too near neighbors. maybe its time for a nice road trip! I don't spend more than I bring in or live beyond my means. I've worked hard for everything I've gotten in this life & take nothing for granted. I don't use words like "love and hate" casually. I recycle everything, and enjoy old machines, inventing new ones, and alternative building & fuels. Joel Salatin is a hero of mine. My dream is a vineyard on the ranch some day & raising a family even if its only the two of us, organic vegetables, livestock and awareness. I'd like to maybe have goats and make cheese. If honesty, respect, and courage describe your character, and are a woman who says what she means and means what she says. Who uses phrases like "Do you think together we can....... or Let's try" instead of "I can't" and are committed to a healthy and rewarding lifestyle for herself and her family, and care for a man who'd give his life for her, and thinks life's too short to sit and watch T.V. adventure when she could be living it, well, I'd love to have a partner, best friend and the other half of me that I've searched a lifetime for~ Are you the diamond in this big ol' coal mine? I'm really not as scary as I look. only hard on the outside, Adios~
