Hello, I'm a very independent, self-employed,MAN.I'm not a Quitter,I've been knocked down many times. But, I just get back up and keep going. There for I may come off like I have a chip on my shoulder, so you'll need to be a little patient with me. Lookin', for a woman that can deal with that. I have 4 boys that are my priority. Also, I work to live, I don't live to work. Although, I take care of business first.

My intent was to retire early, but due to personal tragedy and a very bitter divorce,things are a little behind schedule. But, as I said, I keep truckin'. I'm a fiscal conservative, and about eighty percent social conservative. My Christian beliefs are my foundation for life. That's what gets me up in the morning and keeps me going all day. No, I'm not a religious fanatic, I just know where my strength is.

Alright, things I like. I like to take rides on my bike stopping here and there, and playing pool. Boating, camping, not roughing it, motor home camping. I love singing in the band, and dancing, although, my dancing has been hindered by a recent event that I will get to later. I also enjoy just hangin' at home, and relaxing in the backyard, swimming, hot tubing, horseshoes, throwing some catch, ping-pong, volleyball, or whatever. It's a large backyard.

Now, regarding that recent event,that has just decimated my dancing with the stars dream. Nine months ago I was hit while riding my bike, and here's the kicker, they had to amputate my right leg, below the knee. I'm recovering now, and doing quite well. I put on a few pounds while I was laid-up, but am shedding them now that I can get out and move around.

I'm not sure, Ill have to watch fifty first dates again, and get some ideas. HA HA
Maybe we could go to a ONE LEGGED ASS KICKIN" CONTEST!! Yeah, that's right, I'm feelin' a little humorous. It really depends on what season it is, and what's available. For example, a summertime date could be, to take a boat ride on the river, and have lunch or dinner. A winter or fall date calls for something indoors, like a movie, concert, or casino. Although movies are not very well suited for getting to know someone.
