Here? Really?

I like lists. I feel they're a good place to start when considering writing your own history. Here's a list:

Dog farm
Sheep Farm
Dairy Farm

Race car team
Automotive Restoration shop
Home remodeling
groundskeeper
newspaper editor
writing tutor
Carpenter

log home builder
oil field worker
natural gas distribution system manager
warehouse crane builder
Administrative Specialist
generator mechanic

That's where I come from! Here's another list:

Indiana
Virginia
Pennsylvania
Mississippi
Kansas
Arizona
Colorado

That's states I've had an address in. Some of them several addresses.

States I have NOT been to:

Oregon
Everything in New England except Massachusetts. I think I was in Connecticut once on a roadtrip.

Motorcycles:

1982 Honda CM400E
Yamaha XS650 (x2)
1971 Kawasaki F7 (never ran)
1980-something Kawasaki KZ440 (never ran)
Some Yamaha dirtbike
1982 Yamaha Seca
1997 Suzuki TL1000S
1978 Suzuki GT550K-Indy (never ran)
2006 Harley Davidson XL1200C

I think that's a complete list.

Trucks:

1977 Ford F100
1982 Ford F250
1986 Ford Bronco
1985 Ford F150
1989 Ford F150
1977 Ford F250 Highboy
1995 Ford Ranger
1984 Ford F150
2006 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner
1962 Ford F150

Cars:

1989 Volkswagen Fox
1987 Toyota MR2
1970-something Toyota Corolla

I don't remember any more cars.

TV's I paid for, in my life: 1. I paid for it because it was my friend's and I threw it out my front door one night. Things happen.

See how many stories there are right there? A few quick lists, and I could tell you stories for hours.
