Good evening y'all. My name is Jimmy and I am a cart'o'holic. 2 years ago I was on a mission to buy every used cart I could find across 4 counties. I ended up with over 60 carts of various set ups piled up in my 20x40 storage, along with a f'glass dune buggy and a sand rail. I had dreams of opening a small shop, but life got in the way... lol . Well, I've sold almost all of now ,at a nice profit, and LOVE building custom carts for my kids. O yeah, I'm a father of 6 and my wife tells me to start savin diaper money again.... I am a machinist by trade, and a Lieutenant in a vol fire dept by choice. I build carts and stuff for my kids in my spare time. I will post some pics soon of past projects. I loved the mini H3 four seater with an aluminum body,canvas roof cover, lights blinkers brake lights, the works.... honda atc 70 three speed for power..... 10 inch ground clearance.
Anyway, I end up making a lot of my own parts for my projects,wether its machining something or fabbing up something crazy .... I love to build stuff ,so when I'm done, and everyone body says,"thats bad ***", I can say yep and I made it...... Ill elaborate more later, I'm anxious to start my new project thread..... O, I'm in Houston, in case you were wondering....

I'm not sure whether you should let this guy in or not. I mean, I've been to Houston, and it was really uncomfortable in a T-shirt and shorts.The combination of heat and humidity is a killer.
So you have to question the sanity of a guy who puts on plastic covered clothes from head to toe and heads for someplace HOTTER!
Seriously, you any all the other people who put their life on the line for others are my heroes.
Welcome to the forum from a fellow Texan.I'm a newbie myself, but I feel confident in saying these folks are as good as it gets

Hey Jimmy fellow Texan here, lived in Webster and off Nasa Road 1 and friendswood in my youth, it was a chore trying to find someplace to ride a dirtbike there since I was young and we didn't have a way to haul it. I have very fond memories of Nassau Bay. i now live 1.5 hours outside of Dallas in a little farm town, recently selling my house and all I own to get my wife back here to her aging family. I don't have any friends here or much to do here, I just stay busy working. i'm also new to the forum and a pleasure to meet another Texan ....Stay safe baby maker....lol!

yes Firemanjim I found a couple of large acre places one in jacksonville TX and another in Denton these are state parks that allow ATV's and 4 wheel drives, dirt bikes etc... I have never been to a facility like that we have a 100+ acres here where when I get a toy I can play. I bought my wife her first ATV a couple of weeks ago, she has taken to it like a duck to water. Friends... Well ... The ppl here are way different then my roots of West Texas permian basin area. Everyone I have met here is half my age and not very honorable from what I learned. I'm here cuz my wife is helping her grandmother, my wife went to west tex with me some 18 years ago for my aging grandmother only fair I return the favor....Anyway a member here on the Forum is building me a kart to play in the pastures here in Enema (Emory) and now my wife and I will be able to try these ATV parks out Sometime...Anyway take care..... ttyl... be safe...
