Welcome to the nation sean, it's great to meet ya. I was a diesel mechanic most of my life. If you hang in at college, you'll make a nice living doing diesel repair. I worked on over the road tractors and trailers.

Love building rat rods, driving mustangs, and building websites.

Super singles with a baby kitty. A baby 13 speed would be perfect.
