Welcome to a New Blogger

Please join me in welcoming a new talent to the blogosphere.  Meet Jim (aka my hubby), the author of Field Expedient Repair.  

After several years of lurking about and peering with anonymity into the lives of unknowing bloggers across the globe, he decided to take the plunge and become a participating member of the cyber community.

For over 26 years, we have laughed together, misunderstood each other and found humor in our miscommunications.  Every time I laugh until I can't breathe over some verbal misstep, he says, "you need to blog that".  Now I can say that.

Jim has a wide array of interests, including metal working, electronics and welding.  He has heard things like "don't do that", "are you crazy?" and "be careful" more than once with reference to some of his more interesting endeavors.

You can find him sharing his latest trials and tribulations projects, some he said/she said stories and, of course, a cat tale or two here at: 

Field Expedient Repair – Or Not…

A perfectionist meets baling gum and chewing wire…

  7. Timothy- I don't know about overdoing it. The imagination is unlimited, it's just putting it into words that is sometimes my problem. My blog has evolved since I first started. But the weekly quotes have been consistent for nearly four years. Now hubby has joined in the fun.

    Jannie- You're right, he is awesome, and I've told him for a while he needs to blog. I'm not sure what his primary focus will be (he's not either), but I'm sure it will be touched with humor, and cats. Thanks for thinking I'm awesome, too. Right back at ya!

    Hilary- He definitely has plenty of imagination with which to hook yours. He's been lurking around cyberspace for a while so it's time he gets his feet wet.

  9. Oh, Linda already, I have screwed up. I meant to put that last comment on Jim's blog but I had both your blog and his open at the same time. HMMM...I will get it right in the future.
