What would you do?

RE: What would you do?
I fear that if I list everything I will be branded a liar, but here goes for part of the list.

I was an officer in the U.S. Army during the Viet Namn War, specializing in building defensive systems small and large. I was discharged as a Captain. I served as both a platoon leader, a company commander and an instructor.

I hold a lifetime certification as a teacher and have taught every subject in the cirriculium at one time of another over the pase 40 years. Yes, I kept all the books.

I have certification as a machinist graduating from a 2 year program in machine tool and welding.

I ran a gun shop as a side business from 1980-1994. Most of the business was custom target work.

My interest in living history has taken me into strange territory. (I hold a Masters Degree in Cultural Rescourses Management) I can live indefinately at any level of pre-electric technology but do not really enjoy the stone age very much.

Based on the living history experience I can clothe myself from head to toe from scratch and have taught several museum staffs to do so.

I build my own bows and do my own fletching from native materials.

I hold a Master Blacksmith rating from one of the leading associations here in the States.

I can build both modern and black powder muzzleloading guns from scratch (based on the combination of the above listed skills.)

I live in a house I built with my own hands; framed wired plumbed and finished.

I plant a garden each year, have for many years.

Got chickens in the back yard too

I am also an ordained minister; so I can marry you, bury you, christen you, counsel you or serve communion.

I play a mean blues guitar.

Those are the high points, I do other stuff too, but i do not want to brag.
