Where are folks from? - Dan Cash - 05-10-2012
Where are all the folks on the forum from and what do you do or don't do for a living?
I am in south western North Dakota north east of Sentinel Butte. We moved here from KY in order to avoid jobs and work and stuff. Mostly succeed but have to watch out. Every time Grace or I go some where, some low life is trying to hire one or both of us to do something. Most of the time, it is something we don't know how to do or want to do but it does not seem to make a difference.

Just retired after 40 years with Uncle Sam and now doing the consulting thing....keeps me away from home about 45 weeks a year (home on the weekends). That's why I don't get out to shoot much. I plan on doing this for another year and a half before I really retire.
I live in New Hampshire and my wife won't let me move warmer until the grandkids are all grown
