Hey this is pat2254 a.k.a. Jim Schroeder.

 Been living here in Michigan most of my life. Had a stint in the Marine Corps (76 - 80) where I was in Air Support Operations and got out a Sergeant. We were somewhat of a go-between with the ground and air forces of the Marine Corps, called a DASC. Got out of that institution and joined another called Marriage, which produced two beautiful childen, a boy and a girl.

Had a lot of hobbies over the years. Haven't hunted or fished for years, but I used to be pretty good with a rifle and I could put a spinner just where that Trout liked it. Well, okay, sometimes I used my rifle for fishing, oops. Tried a R/C plane, but it was more like crashing it then flying it. Got alot of trees with it, a chain link fence, and a barn. Nuttin was safe around me. Done some woodworking too, ole Norm made me buy all those machines. Okay, a little tool envy there, I'll admit. Even had a small woodworking shop with a Brother for a few years, and can still count to ten on my fingers. I also like other handy dandy things like rewiring houses, putting wells down, and just building things. Metal Detecting, especially on the beach, is another of my favorites. Just me, the gulls, and the sun coming up, what a nice morning.

Lately it's been computers, lot's to learn there. But I've also learned alot about flight sims in the last year because I hang around this great bunch called 'The Outlaws'. They're always willing to help, and willing to get rid of the trash too. Oh, and I've got a skate job driving a forklift in a factory, scaring people, and I love it.  I won't run anyone over 'cause there's just to much paperwork involved, ha, joking. So if I see ya 'up there', just remember, there ain't no paper work here, he he, so let's have some fun.
