Born in Detroit in 1955, and lived there most of my life.

Sex, plenty....opps I mean male. :whistling:

Height, 5' 4" and remember good things come in small packages. :biggrin:

Education, high school grad, associate degree in general drafting, and accounting. Certified small engine mechanic

Single, never married, 1 son

I've worked a number of jobs, growing up I would work on my uncles farm in the summer, when I got out of high school I drove trucks for a number of years. Then I became a small engine mechanic for a number of years, then I went into the restaurant business in which I did everything from washing dishes, bartended, grill cook, broiler, sous chef, and kitchen manager.

Retired, but not by choice. The kitchen work became to much due to my severe arthritis. I had to retire early, and moved from my house to an apartment. I live in a senior apartment, the same one my mom lives in and now I take care of her. She also has severe arthritis and she's 90 year old.

I use to love to go hunting and fishing, but when my buddies started dying with whom I did these activities I lost interest. Now I watch football, mostly college, I cheer for the Lions but they have disappointed me year after year. I watch college basketball and NASCAR also. I also like F1.

The last car I had was a Mercury Marquis, but I had to give up driving, it was murder on my back and the meds that I'm on were giving me dizzy spells. I didn't want to be behind the wheel of a car when I had an attack so I quit driving.

First movie I remember going to see was Goldfinger and Dr. no. Back in the day we got two movies, and coming attractions for 15 cents.

Started smoking when I was 13 and on the farm. Quit smoking for good around 1995. Smoked three packs of Lucky Strikes a day, and my doctor can't believe it as my lungs are clear today with no shortness of breath. When I started smoking cigarettes were 33 cents a pack. On the farm they were free as my uncle grew his own tobacco, and my aunt would roll cigarettes for everyone of us. My uncle taught me how to drive too. And he gave me an old Farmall tractor that you had to start with a crank.

Since I stayed on the farm until Sept. when I started school, I had to go to school with my cousins starting in August. It was a one room school house in Kent Bridge, Ont. Most of the other students were my cousins. I had to do homework too. So when I came home they were ready for a month off because of harvest time. Somehow I didn't think that was fair. LOL!

Born in Cleveland, OH in 1950 and have lived in the area my entire life except when in the military.

I'm #3 of five boys, and the eldest of identical twins. My twin is the direct opposite of me, despite of looking identical. Be thankful for that saving grace on America.

Sex: Male who can provide his own entertainment when necessary.:brows:

Education: Associate degree in mechanical engineering, but always hated being trapped in an office. Went on to get a Bachelor's in business which has served me well over the years.

Married in 1972, and recently celebrated 42 years of her tolerating me. We have 2 girls and one boy (in that order), and have 3 grandchildren.

Serve 4 years in the USAF, achieving the rank of SSGT. Overseas duty was in Adana, Turkey for 18 months.

I have the reputation in the family as the guy who can't hold a job. Truth be told, I get bored when there's no longer a goal to shoot for, or the job gets to be a PIA and it's time to move on. Over the years I've held ...

Life insurance license
Property & Casualty insurance license
Real Estate license
Licensed Electrical Contractor
Certified Facility Manager (IFMA)
Amateur & General Class radio licenses

and probably a couple more things that I've forgotten or found useless.

I've owned several different businesses, but always seem to gravitate back to construction. I've had a Handyman business full time for 12 or 13 years, and enjoy the freedom of being my own boss and helping people. I hate commercial construction because people with lots of money always fuck with YOUR money so they can keep theirs longer. I probably walk away from tens of thousands of dollars of commercial work annually because I hate having to chase my money. Residential customers always pay, and are thankful for having solved their problems or made their visions come to fruition.

Love hunting & fishing, but do little of either right now. Have built 11 fly rods (no bamboo), and enjoy that form of fishing the most, as it's the most challenging. I also tie every fly that I use and haven't purchased one for anything other than copying the pattern in more than 15 years.

I have always had trucks in my life, but the most memorable was a 1968 short-narrow bed white Chevy pickup. It had a straight six and 3 on the tree, and was almost more fun than sex...almost! Had a 3-gun rack in the back window that always had a .22 or a shotgun hanging on it when I lived in New Mexico in '72-'73. Today I have 2003 3/4 tom Chevy Express van for work, and a 2006 Hyundai Tucson GL for running around. I have never purchased a new truck, as I have always been able to find late models that have been previously loved, but need a new home at a reasonable price.

I haven't been to the movies since Titanic, and fell asleep during that. I can't tell you who's who in music or Hollywood, and frankly don't really care (except for Mike Rowe). The only thing I care less for is professional sports, which I have always felt was a way to strip money from people who lack the physical ability to compete, but think they have all the answers for how the sport should be performed. Most fans are full of shit, and just regurgitate shit some talking head said last Sunday. Also, most of today's athletes are under-performing primadonnas with outrageous salaries. Too many of them are ass holes in real life, and too many turn to drug abuse because they have no real world experience in dealing with money. I digress...

There! Now you have a snapshot into some of JEV's boring life on the South Shore of Lake Erie.
