My 'introduceyourself' post and a little about my life and travels (and my nephew)

Hello Steemers,

I'm Fred and this is my Introduceyourself post. There’s a bit in the video, some at https://www.facebook.com/ahobosdiary/ and here’s a little bit about my life.

I used to drive trucks but about 2yrs ago I quit. I was tired of working for a living. I hopped on my motorcycle and spent a few months riding around the US. Then I hiked some of the Appalachian Trail, hitchhiked across the country and basically… I just have fun. I have a life now.

I now get to see what I was only able to look at before.

And I’m looking forward to sharing my stories here on Steemit.com with you.

Talking about myself isn’t really something I enjoy doing but I’ll list a few likes and dislikes here for starters;

Likes:

• Travel because I have to go
• Ferrets because they’re ferrets
• Animals because humans basically suck
• Kids (when I can give them back)
• Motorcycles and bicycles (but I’ll drive anything with wheels or tracks and even wings if you let me)
• Food but it’s gotta be good
• Sex because who doesn’t like sex
• 420 because… “really? Do I have to add to this one!”
• Writing (see dislikes)

Dislikes

• Writing (see likes) but someone’s gotta do it
• Anything government (because they can’t even get their own shit together)
• People who can work but choose the welfare road (Yeah… I got a big dislike for this one)
• Alcohol because it’s just nasty and every time I drink it, I end up in Mexico with a new wife and six children and know none of their names.

But we all have our vices.

Of course there’s more, but those are the ones that popped up at 7 am. I’m not a morning person and my nephew (age 5) just showed up and now I have to watch him (torment me).

Anyway, here’s a few pics from my trips and I hope to see you on the road...
