I retired 13 years ago. I had my own business back in the mid 70' through 1990 making hand made musky baits. I also use to make and compete in the NTWF call making, got to be to much politics for me. I still bow hunt this will be my 54year at as far as i can remember lol. I have also done a lot of construction work inbetween.

I like to try different things and i got the train bug a little over a year ago. My brother got me into by accident long story. Well i really enjoy it. Last january i started with a 4' by 8' set up, after i had all the track layed i decided that wasn't big enough so i added another 4' by8' on to it.

After working on it all year had it about 60% done, then in January this year i dismantled it and started all over. I think i like this lay out the best, it is bigger of course. Strickly a fictional layout.

I have a large shop where i can just about what ever i want, i love building tresles and bridges all out of Wisconsin white pine.

I also do i lot of woodworking but not as much as i use to getting a little old.

My favorite cigar Alec Bradley Black Market.

So there ya have it.
