After 74 posts, I should finally introduce myself

I'm Chuck from down South Florida way living on the Atlantic Coast side of the U.S., and i wanted to finally take this opportunity to say hello to the Steemit community, introduce and tell you a little about myself after 75 posts.. (I always seem to jump into everything with both feet, without instruction and finally feel i know a little bit about Steemit)
As you can see i am an avid guitar player plinking primarily at home. Im 61 now and am pretty much a homebody nowadays.

I grow quite a few plants here in planting zone 10b that seem to thrive under the Florida humidity and the green thumb I inhereted from my father.I think i'm most proud of the bananas and the passion flower vine that covers my fence.

I honorably served in the the U.S.Air Force for eight years and worked in the Nuclear Power industry as a mechanic at numerous power stations across the country for thirteen years. Here is an actual photo of "my" airplane i helped maintain at Langley Va and a power plant I worked which i think was Indian Point in New York.
.
I also like to collect pure silver and gold coins as lets just call it, " just in case of the shtf" if you get my drift

Last but not least i would like to introduce you to my pets Coda (the little one) and his three year younger sister Poco...
and my feline companions are Tiki a 12 year old Bengal and Andrew the greatest rescued little guy i've ever had.

Well I honestly appreciate you taking this time to read this post and good posting to you too...
