Thanks for the welcome everyone, as for what I've been doing since I retired. I work in construction, inspecting, repairing and cleaning underground pipe and utilities. When I'm not working I try to find time to ride one of my 5 horses. I also have 7 kids, 8 grandkids and one on the way, it keeps me busy. 4 of my kids have served in the military, 2 served in Iraq, and one is still serving with 1st SFG at Ft Lewis. He just got back from Afghanistan a few months ago. I also have 2 son in laws and one daughter in law serving in the army at this time. My youngest started college this year, so hopefully I'll have a little more free time to ride my horse now. Glad to be here, it feels like home. RLTW
