Hello from New Mexico
« on: March 10, 2012, 10:06:13 PM »
Hello!

My name is Steve and I am a retired train mechanic living outside of Santa Fe, NM.
I started wrenching on Chevy's in the late 60's, went on to aircraft (Lockheed), before spending the last 26 years working for Metrorail in suburban Maryland.
Crazy as it sounds, I STILL love wrenching on vehicles (modified 1991 Mitsubishi Turbo Eclipse & 1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca).
I refurbish/rebuild guitar and audio tube amplifiers, when I'm not out hiking with my two Shetland Sheepdogs.
My wife and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and we're looking forward to many more!
I consider it a pleasure and an honor to be  the newest member of this forum.

Take care & have fun!
Steve

Hello Steve!

Glad you made it over; it's good to have a fellow Gray Tools lover here!

Funny you mentioned GRAY Tools?
I put my 1/2" drive GRAY socket extensions up on the garage peg board only yesterday.
