The RL Thread

Love huskies! Used to have a wolf/shep/lab/husk mix. Smartest animal I've ever seen. Will have to dig up some pics.

 

Life is looking swell for you pr0d. The American Dream good sir.

Glad to have you on board. I was most interested in the C130 in the bike pic though :9

Congrats on the young tike coming. Write a book along the way then sell it to be via PayPal. lol

 

Thanks, Orestes, I think...
And, Yes she's my boo boo. All our friends fought over who got to watch her while we are in TX. The kids who got them have a schedule of who she sleeps with... She's a snuggle bug.
The C-130 in the background is a display on Pope AAF. Shows many of the planes that the Army has jumped out over the years. I prefer the Blackhawks and Chinooks!

 

Well, I guess it's about time I posted here...

I have been a stay-at-home dad with 3 daughters and now a son, going on 5 years now and I love it. To make money, I own a small computer business on the side. It doesn't bring in a ton of money because I charge about half of what the "Big Guys" do, with most of my work being from referrals. It mainly goes towards my Steak and Beer Fund™.

Sometimes I will put ads on Craigslist but them fuckers can be scary. I also do occasional Healthcare/Mentor work for an elderly lady who's son is terminally wheelchair bound. He's a great kid (26) and loves computers, video games, and porn so we get along fantastic.

The wife works from home through VPN on her computer as some kind of big boss lady for Equifax. I have no idea what she does but it involves W2's and credit and background checks... and they cringe when she goes on vacation. That's about all I'm allowed to know.

We have been married for like 11 years or something.

I used to be a work-o-holic. Just before I got married in 2001, I worked as Lead Quality Assurance / Lead Inspection Tech for a General Motors rework facility just outside St. Louis working 70+ hour weeks for many years. Basically I had to oversee everything that went on and make sure it was perfect before loading it up to be shipped out, as well as coming up with ways to make the process faster/more accurate/cost less. It was fun; the days went by quick because I was constantly busy and I was well compensated, but I always wanted to be in the 18-wheelers that delivered to us - so eventually I went to school to get my CDL. Graduated at the top of my class from a Professional Driving Academy recognized as one of the Top 10 in the nation and immediately got thrown on the road for a company based out of South Carolina. They saw my skills behind the wheel and quickly made me a trainer, something I would come to loathe. New hires scare the absolute shit out of me, and I found myself missing a ton of family time. After a little over 6 months of being a trainer, I had enough and quit. I absolutely loved it, but it's not really the place for a family man.

Now here I am, simply living and living simply. I'll close with a few pics from my past. More to come as I find and upload them.

The wife, before i knocked her up.

Me and the wife, preggers.

Buying my Jeep, looking retarded.

This is why you don't take your Jeep through a creek while drunk. You get stuck, and rub trees and don't care until the next day.

Some time before we had kids, 9 AM and we just got home from partying all night at Pop's Night Club in East St. Louis. I was really stoned lol

And finally, my crib and my baby.
Jeep is for sale too, I just don't drive it anymore. Hit me up if interested.

 

Good shit Phragg. Bout time!!! Now I can stop imagining that you look like Steven Hawking.

I wish I could be a stay at home someday

 

wtf you imagined he looked like Steven Hawking??

 

Yah! Just fuckin sitting in his little roller chair all day, gunning in the chopper like a baws.

 

He did leave out a picture of his gaming center!

 

Yeah I need to get updated pics of it but this one is from the old house. Pretty much the same except the speakers are mounted to the wall, I got a bigger sub (and it's on the floor, what a douche) and a new PC.

 

And no, the TV is not sitting on the sub. It has a 2x4" hollow steel beam (for cables) running up the back that has a swivel mount bolted to the back. The base has a welded steel support that cannot be removed without possibly damaging the TV, so I left the base as it was.
