Retired journeyman Ironworker, welder, runner. Discovered RE when I purchased Reader's Digest's "Back To Basics" in the 80's, and have been chasing it ever since. 3 years ago we bought 43 acres in Missouri's Ozarks, after looking for a property with a south facing hillside that wasn't covered in granite. Soon building an earth home on that property, installing our solar and wind systems now in preparation for our life there. Married 43 years, 3 kids, 7 grandkids. Retired at 51 from multiple work injuries, but still stay busy at the property, which is my "Happy Place".
