Hello Steemit a grumbly old fart

len.george (63)in #introducemyself • 8 years ago

This is my first post on Steemit. I'm not really sure about this place just yet, but it seems to be where things are going, and since I'm still going at 77 years old, I might as well get on board and keep going.

I'm retired and I live in a small town in New Zealand.

I started my working life in the Airforce as a mechanic, and ended up as co-owner of my own company supplying machinery to vegetable growers around the country.

I've got four grown kids (one of which is typing this for me) and an interest in Country Music, and books.

I'm a big reader and love reading books on my Kindle and tablet.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens on Steemit and seeing if there are people that I can connect with and chat to.

Welcme to steemit. Ther are a lot of interesting people here. Being biased, trevor.george writes a good yarn. Papa pepper and the little peppers are worth following, he has a great variety of story's. Tell him I sent you. Otherwise read until you find someone you like and 'follow'

Hi Len, welcome to steemit!

I think people will be interested in reading your military, business, family and hobby writings if you choose to share them here. Also, look around and comment on others' posts so they know you are here in the community. I think you will find a lot of interesting reading here and I am sure you can contribute interesting pieces of our own.

Best wishes!

Well, if you're a little but curmudgeonly, it just adds some variety to the forum!

Welcome to Steemit. I love reading books as well. I might be what you'd call a reading addict. I'm much better with books than I am with people, but Steemit is helping with that. There are plenty of decent people here, and some knuckleheads, but I find a higher percentage of decent folk here than in the face to face world. I hope you enjoy your endeavors here.

Welcome to Steemit! Country music and reading are some of my interests, too. I will note that the new junk that passes for Country music these days is no good, but that is just my opinion. I will follow you to read your future posts.
