I'm a wild Kansan born and raised, worked as a cowhand/horse rancher, Firing range operator/owner, and bout a million other odd jobs...started up here at K-State almost 2yrs ago now, working towards becoming a chemical engineer, working my arse off at school and in the lab; rodeo, hunt, and shoot in my spare time-which isn't much between school, the lab, and the ranch.

If you head over to the SASS wire, my alias is Dakota Clay, I pop in from time to time with my opinions and experiences, but I read a LOT more than I write. If you've got any questions over there, don't hesitate to ask them, ain't no one gonna call you stupid less'n you leave a question unasked-BTW, yer likely gonna wanna adopt a more "western" drawl over there-
