Hey guys. (What a past couple of years)

[Flytyer14 0]

Hello everyone, I hope someone remembers me. Seems like this site has really grown since I was here last. I'm 17 now. Almost 18. I just graduated High School this year. That was pretty awesome. Haven't been tying much, and I know this isn't my blog but I'd still like to share a bit

 

 

I've been working for a Custom metal worker. I learned to weld and whatnot, also I've started blacksmithing with him. It's a great opportunity for me to learn. Hopefully I can aqquire some more life skills in the area of work.

 

I started driving, I get my drivers license on the 24th of this month.

 

I went to Nicaragua on a missions trip with my church, me and 4 other guys built them a 48'x32' church out of steel, cinder blocks, and re-bar. It was really something.

 

 

I'd like to host a swap soon probably, that'll get me motivated to tie more. Really missed everyone. Glad to be back.

Good to hear,it's nice to hear a young man on the right track in life. Keep up the good work. Working in the trades can be a very promising career choice in this day and age.

Yeah, I do remember you, wondering what happened. Good to see your making some progress in LIFE. That's always more important than fly tying.

Welcome back Mark I think I remember ya, I built you a rod a couple years ago if I'm not mistaken didn't I? Cool that your welding. I was a certified TIG welder (also did MIG and stick) and ran a welding shop for about 10 years in the late 90's and early 2000's, it's a good skill to learn.

Excellent, things seem to be going very well for you young man!

[Flytyer14 0]

Mr. Steve, you did not. Although I had asked you to start one. I never got the money. But we did discuss it for sometime. I haven't done TIG yet, only stick and MIG. But it's been alot of fun hope all is well!
