    It was well known in our family that we're 50% English and 50% German. Then I had the DNA done...... Turns out we're about 67% English/Irish, about 30ish % German, and the rest a mix of Scandinavian along with a dash of Greek/Italian. So much for family "knowledge".

    when i asked what the heck is unknown southeast asian,
    they said could be anything BESIDES chinese or japanese-
    cambodian, laotin, vietnamese, indonesian, mongolian,
    filipino, okinawan, taiwanese, singaporian, etc....
    they cant tell really cant tell, they just know its not japanese
    or chinese. how weird.

    so that means fully 41% of my makeup is asian---- more than
    any of the other stuff---but i look like a big fat white dude. go figure.

    therers also danish, irish, mexican, chiracahua indian, turkish,
    and portuguese. im a grade A mutt!

    When our son asked me about our lineage, I thought about it, and, figured that with my German, French, and Irish known background...(Basically a hodgepodge of northeastern european} and Tammy's Spanish/latin lineage how to formulate a reply... I said, "Sean, we have basically been kicked out of every respectable country in Europe"

    Oh wise one, you speak a truth most of us would rather sweep under the carpet. We are all mutts. It's what made us great. Beyond Italian and Scots heritage, and knowing that the Scots side was here on the continent well before the Revolutionary war, I could only guess what all is in my genetic makeup. And the Italian heritage, anyone's guess as to what really happened over the millennia. Oh well I'm better off for it

    If that were the case, I'd probably never have been able to retire. So to further question this, if I'm not untired, or retired, that means I must be tired. Now does that mean exhausted or, if you rather, bias ply or radial ply? Ah the English language isn't it wonderful?

    I'm trying to catch up with some of the masters of mess. Today I brought 2 chop saws, one wood one metal, back into the garage from the shed. I know, big deal! Well as Clint Eastwood would say "a man's got to know his limitations! "

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Besides every little bit helps...

    I'm trying to get past 2 on the 1 to 10 scale

    It's said that I have no problems with hard work. I can stand there and watch it all day! No problem

    Don't worry Dave, there are those like me far below you on the scale. It's a case in point that whatever space you have governs how much stuff you bring home - you'll fill that space. And if you have virtually no space at all you only bring home girly things like squirt bottles and not manly thing like transmissions.

    I'm so embarrassed! My garage doesn't even rate on a scale of 1 to 10. And you guys have turned it up to 11!

    I did! I added to the jumble in the garage! I got a transmission and 1 inch tube dies today! Okay so I'm still not even up to a 1 yet. Give me credit, I'm still trying!

    I'm recently a Disheartened Leinies Original Longneck drinker. I'm upset that since 1867 the labels had the Indian Princess of the local Native Tribe on them.......
    BUT Corporate Miller had them remove her to be "Politically Correct" in this New Era of everybody forget who your ancestors were....
    The Local Indian Tribe/Nation Even took out Add Space to say THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REMOVING of the Indian Princess !!

    Sorry, I'm not to Bring Politics or Religion to this site.........

    BUT, Stop Over, BRING BEER, we Talk Rusty Iron, Pretty Girls, and the High Cost of NON ETHANOL GAS here !!
    Shared beer is always good.
    I haven't drank Rolling Rock since Viet Nam. At time it was all we had and usually not cold. That and Ballentine's must have been the low bidders. Yuch.
