Another new guy from Texas

[WestTex]

Hey guys,

I've been following these threads for a few years and finally made the move over here.  Like a lot of y'all, I'm prior service; Army.  Spent a few years welding when I got out. I mostly did portable stuff, carports, fences, barns, etc.  Never seemed to get much shop work, but I was always busy.  I still build some barns and do side work for people I know, but not near as much as I used too.  Currently I'm back in school and about 1/2 way done with a 3 year program here at TCU.  Hope all is well with everyone.

Thanks,

Logan

[WestTex]

Im from Lubbock and thats where my family is now.  I'll be moving back from Fort Worth at the end of July to start my clinical rotations.  Are you at Bliss?

Welcome aboard Logan

Since you're a professional welder, you can't look at or comment on my many "Welds"

Hooah brother...Glad to have ya here

Welcome Logan!
I think a lot of us are backyard welders. So don't feel bad if you get some ugly.
There are a few spots on my bumper that are luckily on the inside under a 1/4" of undercoating.
Little bit of time back on it and everything cleans up.
Glad you're here!

Heh, I've never described myself as a professional welder.  I'm a pretty fair hand but not a pipeliner by any means.  Got some good memories of Bliss, Donna Anna actually.  Got to spend a few days out there when someones rifle walked off during a night qual.  Spent the next 3 days walking thru the desert looking for that thing.  Good times were had by all!!!  We've got a little land in Cloudcroft, not too far from El Paso, with a small off the grid cabin; good place to get away too.
