Raised on a family farm. Paid my own way to get a degree in geology, worked 6 mining seasons in Alaska Working seven ten hour days for 7 months, which actually was a cake walk compared to the length of summer work days on the farm. Then 32 yrs at a warehouse retailer. Now retired. I do E-bay to keep me busy. I am still finding things to sell from Alaska and from the 4 generation family farm. Like most people raised on a farm, my main activities are outdoors hunting ,fishing, hiking, and am asked to help trap when someone has a predator problem, I also put in a fair amount of time prospecting, mostly for gold. I am also an avid Gardener. I find most of my hobbies seem be related to growing and collecting my own food. I am lucky to be born in Montana where the outdoor activities are endless. I search for e-bay items on the weekend because I like the solitude of the outdoors and there is more people out on the weekend. Thank you for visiting my sight. I hope you find something you like.
