    Real name is John.

    I am a Labor Law Investigator for the State and I live south of Austin.
    I was a competitive revolver shooter in the 1990's.
    I also abandoned Northern IL for TX.
    I operated a Martial Arts school.
    I retired from Federal Service after I almost got dead on duty and needed 12 operations to walk normally (mostly) again. Running and wrench turning are non-starters these days.
    I am an excellent trainer/teacher. I had delusions of opening a shooting school. I can teach very new through experienced shooters, especially kids and women.
    I taught at the big school in Pahrump and it's a great place to learn and teach.

    I need help with an engine. The mechanic said the # 3 cylinder is dead on my 96 E150 with the straight six. My youngest just hit driving age and he might get it as it is huge and safe. BUT it gets 10-15 mpg, 17 on a good day, and has a 33 gallon tank.

    I can offer professional level training for noobs, family members, b/f, g/f, and anyone with a desire to learn. It can be casual or structured sessions.

    Location is up there by my name;)
    Professionally I'm a network engineer. Broadband technologies, router configurations, VPN, that sort of stuff. I can help with general PC issues as well, but I loath doing so. Just burnt out on it... I would require copious amounts of beer and food in compensation to fix your computer
    I've been an amateur mechanic since I was about 10. I have extensive knowledge on classic Fiats and Lancias. I can work on pretty much anything, including a wankel.
    I'm an all around handyman and can fix damn near anything. I'm working on being able to make damn near anything, too. Hopefully I'll have my backyard machine shop up and running this fall.

    Did he elaborate on that at all? Just saying "it's dead, Jim" is not a proper diagnosis.
