well..............im not a 20 something any more, lol

i'll be 40 in february,

ive never had a fresh water tank, and have been researching salt for a couple years on and off and my wonderful wife bought me my first 20 long salt set up and i've been upgradeing it ever since.......

we were about to close on a loan and start building a new house by the end of this month and this stupid finacial/government crap has screwed that up and we were denied after 6 months of work.........................we may have another option for financing though and should find out the first of the week, and hopefully be back on schedual..............

I will be building a 7 foot long, 30 inch deep 24 inch tall , in the wall tank with a tank room behind it, plywood epoxy with star fire glass front, I can't wait to build a house around my fish tank, LOL

will be married 1 yr on the 29th and have a beautiful 16 yr old step daughter, easy A1, lol

i own my own landscape / exca vation business "Deer Dynamics LLC" and struggle daily to keep the lights on and food on the table, but after loseing my ass in a very nasty divorce several yrs ago I woudn't trade a dollar for happyness.................my wife and I dated 21 yrs ago as ccute little puppy love high school sweethearts............i even gave her her first "real boyfriend" kiss, lol she says i gave her her first beer too, although i don't remember that part, oooppps.......................and after al these years of making our own mistakes and haveing failures and successes, here we are together again and happy as can be ..........................

thats basically the Snowboss in a nut shell, ..............see, I'm not a mean old man, just a big teddy bear with a pissy face,,,,,,,LMAO

later all

dang boss... i kinda thought you were bankin it...... i can certainly see why you vavlue happyness so much, thats another reason for me getting into this hobby, i have absolutely no luck with girls so i thought this would be a better of keeping me happy and getting a taste of my career at the same time.

On the other hand dizz you got ne pics of your daughter? hahaha

now Blue, this isn't a feel bad for Boss post, but I'll thumbnail the lose for ya, so you can see that life is SSSSOOOOOO much more important than the almighty dollar - -

i was married for 9 years to my X, no kids and between us we made 140,000 a yr in Kansas..................then she decided to go elswhere and divorced me, i just laid down like a beaten dog and let her have everything

i lost 2 boats, 2 pick-ups, 5 Porsches {3 totally restored, 1 set up for autocross and 1 daily driver} 4 motorcycles {2 classic fully restored MotoGuzzi, 1 tour bike and an Eddie Lawson replica sport bike ZR1100S, a 3 bedroom house on 4 acres and 250,000 dollars in investments - - - -ALL gone in a matter of 3 months

I had ulcers, worked like friggin mainiac, never did anything fo me, just worked to get her stuff and me stuff

and i wouldn't take any of the stuff or money back for a second if i had to give up my life now............................

So yeah i sit here almost 40 yrs old and smile for the first time in my life looking into my little 20 long salt tank with my wife sitting next to me........life IS good

just a note, i have new toys now, but they mean a lot more now - - - couple jeeps, and a Nissan 350Z convertable that i co-own with my step father, 2 older{a 99 arctic cat 500SS and 01 Skidoo Formula III 700triple} but really fast snowmobiles and of course my company equipment, excavator, skid steer, dump truck and all the cool tools and toys that go with that

Well it's Sunday and i am happily getting ready to go to work , gotta get the trucks and equipment ready to push snow...........all be safe

SnowBoss

nothing wrong with drive at all man....and don't for a second think i just sit around with a stupid smile on my face letting life do what it wants to me, LOL {although i feel like doing that at times} If i want something i will find a way to get it, drive, hard work and honesty are the only true virtues left in this world and there's not many people - -especially young people like yourself that understand that things just don't get handed to you, So i would say you are WAY ahead of the curve my friend . . .and sooner or later when the time is right there will be 2 kinds of girls chasing you .....the ones that want you to be their "sugar daddy" because they see that you work hard and can take care of them......and the ones that have the same work ethic and want to go somewhere in this world and see you as a great partner to do it with ..............i would strongly suggest dateing the later....LMAO

and as far as a hug goes??? i'd rather have ya come up here to the mountains in NY and have a BBQ and spend some time on the boat or somethin, lol , but thanks for the thoughts, like i said it's wasn't a pitty party for Boss post

Boss

it feels like i need to post some pics of myself to..
