Thank you so much for the privilege of being a part of this group of talented and gifted individuals.
I just started. I carved out a little hole in my garage to learn leatherwork. Here, I am among Masters, and I do not take that lightly. I will respect every tip, instruction and comment, even if it's, "Hey Tom, I think you need to step away from the leather and start welding". You guys have been there, done that and I'm just starting the journey. So, that said, I thank you in advance.
I'm 60 years old, retired in 2015 with 30 years of service from Texas Department of Corrections. I was a Facility/Agriculture Maintenance Supervisor. Now, I hang pretty close to the house and care for my mother-in-law, who is 88, when my wife is at work. She moved in with us 14 months ago after she had a Stroke. I have a wonderful wife and an awesome son, 11 years old, and a daughter, halfway through nursing school.
In closing, I like to look at the glass of life as "half full", and it's a beautiful glass.
Tom
