The profile page didn't allow for too much information, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to elaborate and introduce myself a bit further.
I'm a '50 something' refinery worker along the Houston Ship Channel. I've been working there since 1977. I married my high school sweetheart over 35 years ago and now have 3 kids and two grandkids. In addition, I also served in the fire service as both an industrial and municipal volunteer. After 32 years service, I decided I'd done enough for 'King and Country' (and besides it was getting harder to keep up with those 'young-uns' down at the station) and in 2005 retired from the fire service. I had entertained the idea of one day taking up reloading as a hobby, and my retirement from the fire service gave me good excuse to get started. Anyway, me and the wife make our home on a peninsula on Galveston Bay. In 2008 when Hurricane Ike hit Galveston (we're located about 20 miles north of there) we were flooded out and lost nearly everything we had. We completed a total re-build of our house this past year, so now I’m slowly getting back into reloading and shooting again.
