If I have added you recently it is because I've decided that you have a good, decent family friendly photostream. I am just trying to find good people to associate with here on Flickr. If I'm not your kind of contact and you choose not to follow me back or even block me (although I will never give you a reason) there will be no hard feelings on my part.

I've been on Flickr since 2007. Hopefully that will speak for itself. I am finally fed up with all the trolls that I have been blocking lately and the stuff that a lot of them post. My photostream is a nice, respectable one that showcases my interests, hobbies, activities as well as my family and friends. From here on out, if I add you and you have a stream with decent, respectable family and friend photos, I will add you as a friend. If you have a photostream that has no people photos and add me, I may do the same but you will not see my people photos. I commend all of you that keep their stream public. I always thought I would as well, but I'm over blocking pervs at this point.

As for me, here are some bullet points:

- I love everything aviation. Flying is my passion and the sky is my happy place.

- I own a four seat airplane called a Grumman Cheetah.

- I work on jet fighters for a living.

- I am a Marine (1989-1994) and proud of it.

- I really enjoy photography and my favorite subjects are aviation, lightning, and people.

- I snowboard to pretend I'm not old and somehow I always survive.

- I have a blue heeler named Daisy and she IS smarter than your kid!

- I am single/never married and currently not interested in being miserable with those that are. lol (but seriously, I feel for you)

- I have no kids but do have a half a dozen nieces, a few nephews, and even three faux nieces that keep me happily occupied.
