Member Spotlight - Biskit
Tell us a little about yourself - your family or household, kids, pets, occupation, etc.
Married, two cats. Work for the municipal wastewater collection department. I'm a sewer maintenance operator.
What part of the world do you live in?
Jamestown, North Dakota
How did you find the NCT community?
I think I followed the link here from Forums Forums, but my memory's a bit fuzzy.........as usual.
Do you have any hobbies?
I'd like to answer that I spend my spare time drinking and chasing wild women, but that would be a lie. I like to spend time in my garage working on projects. My wife calls it "tinkering", whatever that means. I also enjoy a bit of fishing when I get the chance. Drinking coffee with my friends at the local truckstop is near the top of the list also.
If you could choose any profession or occupation, what would it be and why?
Another answer I'd LIKE to give is, male gigolo, but I can't do that. I don't have the energy anymore. I think I'd like to study and become a machinist and own my own welding and machining shop doing custom work for people.
How and why did you choose your Username? What does it mean?
Bisquits and gravy is a huge favorite breakfast of mine. I also like bisquits with butter and jelly in place of toast for breakfast.
What is a typical day like for you?
I usually rise about 5:15 am. DW gets ready to leave for her job and I see her off. I make my breakfast and eat, then head down to the truckstop by 7 am for coffee. We start work at 8 when we begin making our rounds of a couple of facilities that need checking each morning. That done, we go on with repairs or maintenance of our sewer lines, or any of the equipment in the 20 lift stations that are positioned around town. Work ends at 5 pm and I head home for supper. I might spend an our or two in the garage after supper, or I might veg on the couch watching tv until DW gets done with her Facebook games. I'll spend a while going through the forums I belong to.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Staying alive this long. Well, I'm proud that I haven't fallen victim to any of the many addicting substances that flow through society. I have only been fired from one job in my entire life. I have always been a reliable worker, not needing constant supervision, or babysitting.
Give us 5 words that describe you.
God-fearing, Compassionate, Stubborn, kind, ornery.
Name 5 things that would be on your "bucket list".
Become a licensed aviator, become a licensed hobby boiler operator, become an accomplished violinist, become an accomplished pianist, visit Germany.
Name 5 things you can't live without.
My wife, Copenhagen, my Blackberry, my tools, My pickup.
Who is your role model and why?
Gosh! I don't know. I think my role model is an amalgamation of quite a few people.
Tell us one thing about yourself that people would be surprised to know.
I pray a lot.
What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?
I think he'd be quite surprised as the child I was had planned to follow his father's footsteps and become a farmer. Aside from that, I think he'd probably think his adult self was doing alright.
What is the best moment of your life so far?
Oh golly! There are really many of them. Getting married stands out.
How and at what age did you start cooking?
Can't remember, exactly. What I do is far from the art many of you practice. I make stuff because of necessity. If I want it, I learn to make it. DW doesn't always have time to cater to my desires in that way.
Do you have a dish that you make especially well?
Yes. Dirty.
What is your favorite spice?
That blonde waitress at the truckstop!
What 2 cooking tools/gadgets/appliances would you swap from your kitchen and what would you swap them for?
The stove for a crockpot. One of the many spatulas for a good pipe wrench.
What is your favorite restaurant meal?
I think, chicken fried steak.
What would your last meal be if you could choose anything at all?
If I didn't eat a last meal, I wouldn't be dying, would I? So, my answer is; Nothing!
If you could host a dinner party with 6 well-known guests, living or dead, who would they be and what would you serve?
Well, Jesus would be there, Ronald Reagan, my paternal grandfather, my two oldest uncles on my dad's side, John Wayne.
Who would you most like to prepare a meal for and why? What would you serve? I never knew my paternal grandfather, but my dad says he'd eat anything that didn't outrun him, so I'd make him a hamburger, deep fried potato wedges, and a cold beer. I never met the man, as I said, but I'd love to get to know him.
Who would you most like to have prepare a meal for you? Ohhhhh Sunnivagun! Hard question. I don't know.
100 years from now, how would you like to be remembered?
Fondly.
I'm on the right. The guy with the rabbit ears is my supervisor.
