Jim vonwolske is the name, raised in Wisconsin, been in Tx for 20 years. 57 yo. No kids. I retired from Univ of Texas after 20 years as design and operations engineer on the large buildings and control systems. They got tired of me about the same time I got tired of them. Retirement package was too good to refuse. New boss was rather simple minded and enough was enough.
Live on beautiful Lake Austin in a house that is paid for. I can't stand TV, don't drink, golf, or gamble, bored with hunting, haven't seen my exwife for 13 years and the dog ran away, so nothing else to do except this boat stuff.
69 corvette 427, 435 hp, conv.;
beat up 3/4 ton Suburban, love the 454 power;
7, yes seven boats, (mostly flat bottom fishing boats for bow and arrow fishing), four of which I have never used, I just buy them so no one else can have them. I know, that is a true sickness. Two Century Coronados, (one is a Cardell). Had a Rayson with a BBC and v-drive. The ex called it the "sinus boat" because it did not have a windshield and would blow up her nose. What a Kill Joy.
I just bought 3 turbine engines and came real close to buying a 39 foot cat to put them in.
Presently building a 75X37 foot garage. That ought to make y'all sick with jealousy.
Have a Case 90 XT skid loader, 9400 lbs, (like a really big Bobcat) for moving boats into and out of the garage. Nothing like overkill. Besides, it is worth at least $20,000 to make my friends have to "kiss my butt" once a year just to borrow it.
Been working on a couple of patents lately. If any one wants some pointers, just email me.
Developed a recent fondness for blue eyed, bad girls.
