Getting to know you

Post by _Scottie »

I thought it might be interesting to get to know a little about our fellow posters.

Feel free to participate or not. Answer some or all of the questions. Whatever you are comfortable with.

Erase my answers and provide your own.

Occupation: Trainmaster
Favorite Food: Mexican
What song is currently stuck in your head?: Buckcherry 'Crazy Bitch'
Religious affiliation?: Born into RLDS. Went to Baptist church starting in junior high through high school. Baptist and original restoration beliefs are close to the same, so I fit in well just keep the Book of Mormon to myself. At the moment I don't attend church, hard to find a good one here in Idaho Falls.
Other Pastimes (other than message boards): I am getting into guns! I bought my first gun 2 weeks ago, which still doesn't seem normal for me. I've now gone shooting 4 times and I'm hooked. I also like to hike, camp, fish, and am koi kichi.
Location: Idaho Falls, Idaho
Why your avatar?: That's Roxanne and I. We are a happy family.
