I guess its about time I do this.........

Hello all!

I guess I should tell you all a little about ourselves.

Me: 56yo drop out, spent 40 years working in the jewelry trades and have enough of working with greedy pigs. I still work a little bit, doing repair jobs for former students, no enough to become a wage slave.

We live in a 700 sf off the grid house high in the New Mexico mountains, where there is only 1 person per 2 sq miles. Lots of elks antelope, deer, turkeys, hawks and song birds. Mostly self sufficient, however I get water delivered can't afford a well yet.
Small ranchette 5 1/2 acs
Eventually I would like to have an apprentice to pass my skills on to, I'm a watchmaker, I always enjoyed teaching a new group of people, in my trade there are some worthless rules.
1) never teach anyone out side of your ethnic group
2) never teach a left handed person
3) never teach a woman

I have never abided to those rules. I have blacks, Indians, Orentials to name a few.

My wife 56yo, graphic artist, video producer and great lover.

My son 18 yo graphic artist, rock guitarist

Peace
Dude

I am very jealous of your lifestyle.. i envy/admire you.

 

Well don't be too jealous, it only took me 40 years to get here.

Looking forward to some strange people to visit this summer.

Welcome
