11/21/09 Update... Is there such a thing as over employed? 7 days a week! WOW! I'm recovering. Face looks good! For such an old fart! U can tell I'm startin to feel good again because I'm posting photo's on Flickr again. I made photo of the week on EIU.edu web site last week. So KOOL!

09/22/09 Update... This is sorta of fun. Ok I was never that good lookin but things have improved. My battle scares are on my face but they don't detract from who I am. I've have now totaled 2 motorcycles and don't plan on quitin, life is not going to pass me by. I may skid through life on my ass but it will be my choice. I've got my next motorcycle in mind. What do you think?

09/02/09 Update... Motorcycle down for the count. In the shop for repairs. Guy run a stop sign and broadsided me. Nikon D300 gota be replaced and my face, well I'm not that good looking devil any more at least from the right side.

07/06/09 Update... Looks like my luck has changed! Back to fixin computer controlled machines in a big plant near home.

02/14/09 I must update this... I am now one of those guys without a job. After 20 years of employment as an industrial electrician with the same company they closed the plant. So now my primary concern is finding employment. I do want someone in my life, but what I have to offer has narrowed. This takes a toll on a person.

First of all there is no such thing as a perfect match. But I am a romantic and believe I can find Love not just companionship. That starts with friendship and trust. I would like someone I truly like inside as well as outside. It all starts with a smile for me and some common interest and goals.

I've been single for along time so my sons could have my undivided attention as there farther. I have seen to many second marriages that did not allow for the first marriage's children. I'm too old for more children of my own and that is fine. I love kids and all that goes with a big family. My sons are moving on with there lives and it time for me to build a home life for myself. I look forward to grand children and Christmas's, summer outings, and more.

I'm a man with all that implies. I don't need pharmicudicals to love or fix my mood. I don't need a cook or house keeper. I'm a very good cook and I know how to keep house. I'm too damn old to clime mountains but I like driving to them for the weekend. I'm too damn old to swim across a river but I still like to fly fish in them. I'm too damn old to run a country mile but I've been on every country mile of road within 100 miles of my home on my ST1300. And I'm not too damn old to live life to its fullest.

If your looking for a house mate. Just a face in the room so your not alone. A yea I got a man kind of thing. A Mr. fix it. I'm not your guy!
I like sharing, talking, holding hands, public kisses, and the one no one will admit to: SEX.
I'm not a needie person, but I want to be needed!

This is not an open invitation for women who don't take care of themself to contact me. If you can support yourself and not over weight or at least trying I could Luv U.
I think that was said well without missing the point.
Please post a recent picture of yourself if you would like a response.

I'm too old for a first date. I did that in high school. Let's just have some fun.
