Hello all my first ever post here. I'm excited to finally get started here. I know quite a few users here from my time in read.cash. Looking foward to interacting with some of them I haven't seen in awhile. I'm here on the referral link of @duvinca. Thank you Duvinca, after much talk about it here I am. Well let me get to what I will write about which is myself.
I can't mention my whole life, but let me give you a small incomplete summary of it for the rest of this article. I'll start with some general information about me and what I do for a living. Mostly everyone has hobbies so I'll tell you a few of mine. I will also mention my aim as an author here and certain genre I like to write. BTW the picture is only hours old above:)
About me
Well if the picture didn't give it away above, I hail in the United States. To be a little more specific I live in the state of Iowa. I feel like I'm still young even though l will be turning the big 50 this year. I'm married and a father of one. I consider myself nice, generous and very easy going. I can be serious one moment and be funny the next.
After high school I enlisted in the United States Air Force (USAF). I did just over 7 years and got to see some interesting places. I worked in the transportation career field.
After getting out I decided to pursue the USAF again but this time as government employee (civilian). I got a job doing the same thing I did when I was in the military. Only difference is I don't have to deploy to areas of concern. I really love my job and it gives me a sense of accomplishment serving my country. My primary duties are loading and offloading cargo aircraft.
I also work part time as delivery driver. This job is really my side hussling thing. I love how I have the freedom of making my own hours. Between my full-time job and this one I have worked up to 80 hours a week
Hobbies
Well a picture says a 1000 words. There you have it, my favorite hobby is fishing. I started at a young age and got hooked immediately. I fish all year around on both open and frozen water. There's many things I hold dear, but don't mess with my fishing poles!!
Wood working is another hobby of mine. I'm not a full pledged carpenter but I like to create things out of wood that are useful. A favorite of mine is to use re-purpose wood. I have used wood from old decks, fences, and barns. I just like to bring the wood back to life. Sometimes I leave it looking rustic by not doing much to it. I have made benches, shelves, racks, and many other things.
Me as an author
I haven't gave years to writing. It's been almost 6 months now that I have taken it serious. I will say it has helped me as a person. I'm glad I got into writing on platforms. I really can say I've meant some great individuals. I enjoy reading a little more than I do writing. So be assured I will be appreciative of authors here.
What do I like to write about? I think one of my favorite things to write about are my experiences. I have written only a few non-fiction stories but I think I will try to do some more. Another thing I like to do is create challenge articles. I really enjoy creating engagement among my fellow authors and doing challenges I feel I succeed at it.
Why Hive now? I find it will challenge me to become a better writer. A new place where I can meet new people and learn more things. Coming here I will have more access to more platform articles. I find it interesting to read and have the opportunity to interact with an author if I want to.
After thoughts
I hope I can have an impact here and meet some new interesting individuals. I can promise you the more I write the better you will know more about me. I'm excited to be here and hope my time here will gather approval. I really look forward on the days ahead as I learn and better understand on how things work here. This article has come to an end and I say just one more thing. Nice to meet you new friends and hello to old friends I've missed.

PS. Do you wanna fix my fence? 😉
Thank you ma'am. I can fix your fence and make you something out of the damaged wood :) 💚
Ma’am 😂😂😂 You too? 😂
Well I have to address you professionally you may pay me to fix your fence. 🤣 😂 🤣
Haha 😂 Ok, that’s not cause I’m old then! 😁
My fence so rotten that I doubt you’d be able to make anything from leftovers 🙈
Nope I call women much younger than me ma'am. I'm was in the military I sometimes use ma'am and sir a lot. Bummer not even fire pit worthy.
I see. I’ll need to get used to it then 😉
Yeah, not even fireplace. Maybe good for growing mushrooms 🍄

Yup so much to do here, I think what should I do first, haha. Everyday I feel a little bit more comfortable.
Hey man, found you from a comment on Macchiata's post! I'm glad that I found you, I think we share a lot of similarities so that's cool, save I'm not in nor have worked around the military but that's okay lol. Great intro here and really looking forward to seeing your posts and things you come up with!
I've got pretty similar hobbies myself, with adding a few more to the list but fishing and woodworking are really high up on the list! One thing I can't do though is ice fishing lol I did it a few times when I was younger and it's tooooo cold for me. I know a big reason is not having the right equipment like a snow hut on the ice but maybe one day I can be a changed man and get into it with my son. We do love fishing in the rest of the seasons though!
Thanks for your appreciation. I'm actually working on elaborating on my hobby of fishing now. Hopefully I'll publish tomorrow. Many ideas to write about but so little time 😂
I hear you on that man! I've been there and just know that with things on Hive, it's all good and comes with time. Hive is a fun side hobby so it comes when you have the mental space and availability!
Welcome to Hive @coolmidwestguy. This is @bloghound's daughter 🙂
Thank you for the welcome :)
You're welcome 🙂
Hello there friend! Welcome to Hive, Nice to see you here my friend 🤗 May you enjoy your journey here. God bless you 🤗 Looking forward to your future articles. 🤗
Thanks Jenalyn for the wishes. I look forward to reading yours.
Hello my good friend, welcome to hive, it's nice to see you here. I'm sure you'll love this place and I hope you grow very fast, Hive is really interesting and has thousands of cool things.
I leave you some gifts, in addition to my vote and my gift that I have already sent you. Some appreciation tokens, and some samples of some things that are in Hive, so you learn and get to know some of the genius.
In addition to the vote with which you support the person you read, you can leave tokens and other things, but don't worry, you will learn that little by little, I'm just showing you so you can see it.
They are basically bots that you call with a command and they execute an action (the command starts with "!" but to call the bot you must have tokens of what you want to use or maybe the bot is free to use, but generally it is not like that, if It deals with second layer tokens that one accumulates over time. I just wanted to give you this additional information, because I think this is going to be very interesting for you, over time you will go deeper and learn more, don't worry, but at the outset it is important that you know.
Then in private I explain other things.

Welcome to hive. Good to see you here.
This is a good place. Just watch out with some bullies but apart from that you would make lot more connections than you made on readcash. And compared to readcash you don't have to put much into the account either. Once you have like 1K power for voting, that's good enough for supporting others, you need just hive power here .. no need to funds so till large hive power is accumulated you just have to put the effort. Lot of prompt based topics here in tribes like freewrite. Do check that out. I'll be here around daily checking out :)
Thanks Esmee. Still feeling very wet around the ears. I have a lot of reading to do here to learn the ways here. It's good to see you again and hope to see you around often.
Take care .. these are communities worth exploring while you are on Ecency.
