I'm the dangerous one...I know a little about alot of things but not a whole lot on any one thing. I was a machinst but those jobs are hard to come by so while I am off i started a small metal finishing service out of my garage. I do intakes, wheels, pullies, anything you want nice and shiny. I also without really trying started selling cars on consignment, did it for one friend then before I knew it everyone wanted me to sell there car. In the summer i teach advanced riding lessons on my horses, and I compete in paper chases and some bareback and bronc riding. when time allows I volunteer with the Border Collie rescue, mostly transports and overnight fostering.
