Title: Oh, You let me in, Great, Now what do I do?????
Post by: PoppaRob on August 11, 2012, 09:06:48 am
Hello and thanks for letting me in,

Please give me a few years to learn this and to top asking question, Please!!

I am in my mid 60's, disabled, have 3 dogs, a motorcycle, a so called woodworking shop that is being reworked, has been for about 6 months (wow, that long, need to get back on that) and most of all I have the greatest woman that a man could ask for to keep me crazy,

Ok, I don't know a thing about this, I need to have something to keep my mind busy, something new, I will be looking at the rest of the site to learn and keep the question down as much as possible as I am sure most of them have already been asked already, just have to find them,

Looking forward to learning, meeting people and sharing your knowledge with me, myself and I,

If you have a question please don't beat around the bush with me, ask it, I am way to honest at times so remember that also, Oh, you should keep this in mind, I like to go on sometimes in a post and thats because i just do, its like when I meet someone and we talk a bit, I just sometimes just don't shut up, like now, lol

A Reply To All, A Thank you from me to you in my crazy way, lol

Well shut my mouth and don't let me put that spoonful of taters in, lol

This is a worldly and very nice group, heck I should of been here long time ago just for the talk that goes on, lol, y'all are very welcoming to me and I'll be a thanking you, lol

No I ma not crazy, but close to it, so the doctors say, but then they say a lot of things, I love to have a smile on my face and yours, sure hope you have one, lol,

Someone said you have answers that lead to more questions which to me is music to my ears, as I love to talk and listen and learn, too,

I said listen, not hear, when I listen I feel the thoughts and the learning that you have had and you are trying to pass on to me, yes pass onto me so I can go on with out having to learn that lesson the hard way or waste my time doing so, if I just hear you, your just making some noise that anyone can make and really have no ideal what your are saying, lol

So I'll shut up now and will be listening for the next learning lesson that is just down there around the tree,

Poppa Rob, scary isn't it, lol, they let me in, its not my fault, lol

Rob Roy, lol

My family name comes from Scotland, Lowery, though I think someone said it was McLowery at the time, not sure,

I know I'll be happy here as in most groups I have joined by this time they are not happy with my antics as some call it, but most of those groups are computer and software types, lol, always saying stay on subject and no extra info,

no fun in that as I see it, lol, smiles for everyone, be happy, life is to short to leave it with a frown on your face, lol

Again thanks to all for the welcome, Poppa Rob

Rob, welcome from Beautiful Southern Oregon.  Ask all the questions you want.  What we don't know we will make up.  Heck, some of the answers may even be true.  So ask away.  The only dumb question is the unasked one. :)

Thanks again to all hat have posted,

I am learning the ropes in the site and find it easier to get around now, I have the saw now and I can see things I don't like but the true test of whats good or bad will be in the use of it and making something for someone,

Still free is a good price to pay, lol, makes all the other seem of little importance, well until I know better, then it will be time to get another one and then pass this on to someone else in need,

Poppa Rob, TY all again,

Hi, I'm John from Huntsville,Texas.I think you are the right age and have the right frame of mind to be right here.

Post by: PoppaRob on August 16, 2012, 08:48:28 pm
Well mickey357, I think I have the same gun, 357,

Age is a funny thing, if your talking about physically then I am over 105, thats what the doctor told me about 6/7 years ago, I have rode this body in the ground working since I was 12 years old,

Now if your talking about mentally then that would depend on, who I am around, what mood I am in, what I have been drinking and most of all if I can remember a darn thing, lol

Frame of mind is tricky so we'll just stop while I think I am ahead , OK, but it is as hard as a framing hammer at times, lol

Thanks for the reply and I think your also a new addition to the group, welcome and have a seat, might fine folks in this group, well until they get to know me that is, lol
