Sence I really dont know most of you floks. I figer I should let you all in to the life of Psychedelic and my famlie.
Lets start with the basics. Age soon to be 47. Father of 9. 7 girls 2 boys. from the ages of 26 to 4 years old. Started early finshed late.
Most of my life I ve been working. I never really took vactions. Always had long list of things that needed to be eather fixed or repaired from cars to remodleing the house. So as life ambled on I got married a few times My wife at present Melodie. I ve knowen sence my high school days. We got married 2007. Anyways I did my time for the Mean Green Machine 6 years US Army. Durning most of time. I spent high was a heavy user of drugs. In 1990 I left the army. I contuned my drug use till 1995. Aug 16 1995 I quit drugs and pretty much gave up drinking.To this day I really never drink more than 2 double shots of Yukon Jack on ice. Been my drink sence Way back in Hondours time mid 80s. Late 80s I spent some time in Isreal. 
In case your doing math theres some probems with time frame and births of kids. Becuse not all of my kids are MY kids I raised them as if I cooked them up. So there my kids. In case your wondering just how you do 6 years in the Army High most of the time Its easy. First Do your job! Do it right and with a little luck be the best at it. I was a 63 T/R with russin lang skills. Hevey Duty Deisal repair And Recovery spec in soviet miltary equment. REPAIR AND REUTALZTION. 
After the army I open my own Auto repair shop for a wile. After a few years I was burned out busted up and ready for some one else to lead the way. Went to work in the wrecking yards for awile. and then after a 4 year stent of building up a couple of yard I crashed and burned. I got ran over by my own tool box. (Drugs what a wonderful idea) Crushed 4 disks in my back. I took a 2 year brake on my coutch saw a back doctor for the entire time and never really got better. Till one day getting ready to see the back doc I sliped off the stairs of my house. Landing on my ass and sliding down 6 stairs I really thought I was hurt. But for some reason I felt better than EVER! I saw the doctor. I destoryed the 4 disks that had been an issue. A small surgey to remove the bone fragments I was back up free of drugs I went back to work. 7 1/2 years out at Wilcox Farms as a yard hostler and CIP. Making good money and the wife also working there pluss 3 of the kids as full timers and 1 as a on call. We really had things going our way.
Then in 2008 the milk devsion of Wilcox Farms Failed out of work. I went to work for NYK as a yard hostler a year later blowen out right shoulder After surgey a few months later I had a hart attack. 5 stints and being told not to work any more I stayed at home. A few weeks ago my wife started polking me about a TOW truck. Maybe We should start a bisness? Yesterday We Bought our First Truck !!!!

Hey!!! My motto has always been "Only the living swim upstream". That's the way life is....keep on battling against the current. You've done remarkably well. Keep on brother.

Peace

Makes me feel pretty lucky & pretty boring

Towing? Know one family pretty successful @ it but willing to bet they have $500,000 to $1,000,000 worth of equipment sitting in their yard (yeh, they still run their business out of their house). - If I could put my hands on that much capital could think of more interesting things to do with it
