Hello from 'Quinn-land' Illinois
« on: February 11, 2011, 03:46:31 PM »
Just joined a few min's ago. This site looks even better than others I've seen. I am from west-central Ill. between the Spoon River and the Mississippi. Born, raised, grew up, left home for the 'war' and was stupid enough to come back. Farmed, hunted, trapped, fished, worked as a heavy equip. mech. ( fire trks., refueling trks., missile haulers, dumps, tractors, dozers, etc.), welder, grain handler, millrite, roofer, ditchdigger, tilelier, hog handler, and retired from the mil.. Have been in place's people never heard of and seen things most people only see in National Geographic. See ya'alla round. Thanks
