More about me

I am a 55 year old Tennessee boy, stuck all my life in Indiana. Would love to move back "home" now that I am retired, but wife wont leave her son.  So Im still "stuck" in Indiana. LOL Leaving her, is out of the question.

I like to joke a lot, so if you dont get the joke, dont worry about it, you aint the first Ive had to explain them to.

As I said, I am retired, through disability. If Id known I was going to live this long, Id have taken better care of myself. LOL

I am enjoying EONS site, and have been visiting more often these days. (I signed in as Papaw48, only because I couldnt get Papaw, and Papaw48 is my nick since I got this contraption, so use it even though I am 55 now.) 

Best of luck to everyone,

Papaw
