Cut and pasted from the above link... Only cause I never took typing in H.S.
Hell I don't remember what I took in H.S. but it sure was good...

Good Idea!!!
My name is David... Got the "Turbo" handle when I first started driving a Truck... seems I talk alot??? Go figure...
I was a professional Bull Fighter/Rodeo Clown in the day!!! (1983-1991) Retired while I was still somewhat healthy and began Making the leather chaps the bullriders wear... Seems I was pretty good at it, two motion pictures hired me. 8 seconds Starring Luke Perry and Stephen Baldwin. (I even got to be an extra in Some scenes!!!) The Second Movie was All the Pretty Horses starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz...
Made some foolish choices and here I am Now... Don't really like my Job, but the fringe benifets make it worth while... I have always wanted to race around the desert since I was a kid and visited family in AZ and saw my first baja bug riding along the highway as we were in the sedan!!! Yea I wish I had a large car to ride in, but the Honda ody/pilot fit well on the trailer!!!
I am single and have a 12 year old son I am very proud of!!!

found some old pictures on the laptop... Mighht explain why I'm so bullheaded!!!LOL

I sure was a handsome son of a buck!!!

Wicked pics!

that's a job I don't need

Them some good look'en saddles David!

My father was into horses like I'm into my toys. He had a custom made saddle made for him that was offered to me when I was 16 years old (6 yrs. after he had passed away). I'd had my fill of horses growing up and didn't figure I'd ever have a need for it so I told my mom to sell it & she did. A fine craftsman had put his heart & sole into that saddle and it showed just like yours do. To this day I still have no desire for a horse but would give plenty to have that saddle back just for sentimental reasons.

Thanks Ike,
Biggest heart break in my life was loosing that shop... Seems I was an exceptional saddle maker and a piss poor business manager... I wish I had kept one of the finished saddles, I do have a few of the tools, one big sewing machine and some saddle tree's to play with when I retire... I don't believe I will go through the stress of trying to do this as a carreer... It is a dying craft, and I hated to give it up, but them there bills would not accept scrap leather...

This made me famous... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109021/

I made chaps for the movie and when my name showed up in the credits.. business boomed enough to quit my union job...
And the rest is history...

I wish they gave out do-overs for...
