About Me

Hmmm...I work with animals and love my job. Hung out in clubs most of the time for about 25 years, now I'm more of a homebody. I have a 1 year old Olde English Bulldogge who challenges me daily and I love her! Moved to South Austin from Southern California 11 years ago and I'll probably never leave. My 64 Mercury was a daily driver for several years, now she's parked in front of my house waiting for me to find someone willing to do some body work and paint for, well, pretty cheap. I'm now driving a tiny 2 seater that doesn't use a lot of gas. Weird, how much things can change in 10 years. Getting old can be pretty cool, if you look at it in the right way.http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g299/64merc/Rhett082.j pg
