I'm a Career Master Certified Automotive tech & owner of my business, and a couple others. Glamourous life? Mmmmmm....MaYbE...(Some days are more glamourous than others) But a solid, BOSS-FREE very decent living! (A LOT "decent-r" then you might THINK) & YES, I do take pride in keeping all my Toys looking/running & happy as new, NOT by wasting gazillions of dollars on them, but through good `ol time spent & regular care, (What can I Say, I'm a "DoItYourSelfer", THAT'S how things get done RIGHT!) so WHY wouldn't I do at LEAST as much for my special Gal? Hmmmm?!?! Darn right I would! (But if dating a guy that works 8-5, that can fix ANYTHING but an election, & gets his hands dirty for an honest living makes you go "Ewwwwwww"... Well, I guess you'll just have to keep lookin.... NOW, for those of you still reading,(& by the way, THANX!...) I live by myself on the Lake of the Ozarks, The vacation Capital of the Midwest, with my Xtra-fiesty Pommeranian "Rufus". I'm a happy fellow, sometimes just downright silly, but when there's work to do, I'm on it. I DON'T need OR want to run your life, or tell you how to think... I just want to show you the TIME of your life...I don't do or act pushy, jealous, Mean-spirited, or controlling, that nonsence just ain't in me. (but that DOESN'T mean that I'm a "Cold-fish", either) (smile) Let's just relax & enjoy a nice date together, is all I'm trying to say. There'll be time to "step it up" IF we BOTH should choose to, (Isn't that the whole trick to long term-relationships? BOTH wanting the same things in life, & both willing to adapt enough to each other enough to make it work?) So if we should reach that "Plateau", I Want to be there for you if you need me, & a phone call away when you need some space. I've been on my own for over 6 years, SCARY how time flies, huh?. I'm NOT on this site to live here, Or to be some sort of "Wanna-B-Celebri-T"... So when I find the girl that's right for me, I'll just be "click" & Gone... NO Dragged-Out-TASTELESS-public-posting from this guy on "How I've Found my true Love"... Have YOU come across profiles that say "I'm Currently Dating Someone" (Are They Bragging or Complaining? LOL..)...Or "I've found someone special, so I'm just here for penpals" (Yeah, RIGHT! So what does your "Someone special" think of your STILL ACTIVE membership here..."Fishing?" HMMMM?) or "I'm NOT really looking, but STILL on here", (Say WHAAA?) or some drival along those lines... WHAT a trainload of CRAP...To Me, The dating site is JUST like being at the DMV, when you finally succeed, that's GREAT, but NOBODY that's still sitting there waiting for their number to be called wants to watch someone ELSE Dance around the waiting room singing "I got my licence plates, I got my licence plates"!!! ...LOL... NOW, I NEED to ask YOU! Can I Get you to do me a big BIG FAVOR? If I write to you, but you're not interested for WHATEVER reason, & you just CAN'T find the right words to duck out, ALL I ASK is that you go ahead & DELETE....YES, DELETE my E-mail, & give me SOME clue to look elsewhere, & NOT just leave me hanging with a "Message Read" but there it SITS, unreplied to.... (The WORST form of snobbbbbbish indifference) I mean, just HOW HARD IS THAT?!? I don't want to keep writing to you if you're NOT interested ANYMORE than YOU want me to! A bit about the "BODY-TYPE" thing... I'm Muscular/stocky, with noticably developed Shoulders & upperbody, NICE, SOLID arms, & the skin texture of a 35 yr old. (HOLD the "sundried-burn't-leathery" look!) I'm NOT a "skinny-weenie" more like a retired fullback....But CERTAINLY NOT a "Jelly-Belly-blob"...I work hard, I enjoy my job, I dance to my own tune, I speak my mind in PLAIN English with a sprinkling of smarty / humor, & it shows... As far as exchanging E-mails, SURE, comunicating is GREAT, But I'm of the mind that after a few exchanges that there SHOULD be some NATURAL tendancy towards making plans to MEET! I mean there ARE chat-sites if ALL you wanna do is type... ANYWAY.... All I'm asking is a fair shake, I'd like to think that you'll be PLEASENTLY surprised, should you choose to meet me. OK, ON with the SHOW! I love to go play on the Lake, & I got the toys to do it with. (I make NO "Intentional Brag" about my belongings, I just mention toys MAINLY so you have an Idea what it is I like to DO, & that I'm NO BUM, But if the mention of my truck/bikes/boats irks ya THAT bad, well GEEEEZ!! If I lived out of the Back of a Broken-down Hatchback would THAT be better? (Ya know, I've found that it's IMPOSSIBLE to please EVERYONE, So I've given up on trying to please the ones with a big chip on their shoulder) ANYYYWAYYY.... Do you like Trucks & Boats? (Or maybe Traveling together?? Exploring? I just got a new 27ft sport-Cruiser (55+ mph,YEE-HAH!!) & Dang RIGHT it ROCKS! (Of course it DOES depend on how ruff the lake is on how much it rocks...) haha! Riding my Harley is a kick also, do you wanna come along? (If you've got one too, GREAT!) Are YOU a "Lake-Vacationeer"? Would you like to see what the lake is about?? I s`pose you've heard a LOT of "lake-stories", but the BEST way to know is to come & See 4 YOURSELF...I'll B Here...Oh, & BTW, If you put "NO MESSAGES past 75 miles" who's to blame for you having yet ANOTHER "Weekend flyin solo" just B`cuz the person you've been lookin 4 all your life lives 81 miles away? Just wonderin....

Let's See...It DOES depend on the weather, ya know...On a Nice, Warm day, Would you like to go out boating? The lake of the Ozarks RULES the Water-front-country. There are Dozens of Lakefront Hotspots to choose from, Concerts, Cove hangin, Water slides, Resorts, White-Sand-Beaches, Swim-up Bars, Meeting up with other boaters, swimming, Tubing, Skiing, It's ALL good. Or maybe take the Harley for a spin around the Lake, & stop somewhere for a bite to eat & a nice chat. There are LOT'S of other sites to see if the weather is bad, Maybe out for a NICE dinner & a chat, or wander around the Outlet mall. You should SEE all the construction going on around the lake are, this place is growing FAST!...To Sum it up, "I don't care where we go, I don't care what we do, I don't care pretty Baby, Just take me with you...."
