Intro. From Atlanta

I figured I'd finally do an intro. since I've been reading through the forum for quite some time and have learned quite a bit.

I'm originally from Rochester,NY but now live in Conyers, GA which is just outside of Atlanta. Most of my work is within metro Atlanta. I've been doing inspections for 8 years, and carpentry since I was in high school, so gaining on 20 years now.

Conyers? Which exit off of I-20? Salem or 138? I was Doraville & Tucker for 13 years.

Oh! You are gonna fit RIGHT IN!

Welcome!!!

I was a Locksmith for half my Atlanta time. The other half was a specialized Locksmith AKA RepoMan and Bond Enforcement Agent!

Started my "Career" with "Buddy's Locksmith" (what a Stereotypic Suthren name) out of Centerville/Snellville at the corner of Bethany Church and 124 next to Kroger? Ingles? I do not recall which one!

Yee and Haw are the Left and Right reigns on a Team of Mules, Horses or Oxen, hence the Cowboy Connotation.

Just thought y'all would like to know!
