Just wanted to introduce myself. Names Daniel but it's been Dano since 1969 when I came back from Nam
and the only people that would give me a job was the Metro Police Dept in Washington DC. Been in Law
Enforcement ever since. BookemDano just naturally came to be. Been married to the same woman almost
45 years now. Very unusual in a cops world. One child, she's 30 and been married 10 years. I started off putting
her thru college, she got married and dropped out and I ended up putting her husband thru college. Got near as
much invested in that boy as she does.
But I have to admit, he's a good kid. Gave him my old Hoyt Pro-Force compound
bow yesterday. He'd never shot a bow in his life (city kid) but he took to it like a duck to water. Had
to drag him away from the target range I have set up. He'd have shot all night long.
Going to retire next year. Own 28 acres that joins several hundred thousand acres of wildlife refuge in
East TN. 90% is woods that I want to turn into at least ten 1/2 acre food plots to attract and hold more
deer and turkeys on my property.
Bought a Kubota L3800 w FEL, Box Scraper, Disk & Rotary Cutter last week. Accepted delivery yesterday
and put 3.3 hours on it grading my driveway, my brothers, his 2 daughters and my dad's driveways.
Purchaced the HST model, 4-wheel drive. Never drove a tractor in my life. Smelled a lot of mule farts
as a youngster skidding logs and paperwood, plowing, cutting hay and pulling the hay wagon but I was
grown and gone before dad ever got a tractor for the farm.
That's about it. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm sure I'll have a number of questions to ask.
