Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, favorite cocktail in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out, and screaming WOO-HOO What A Ride!

About Me

Filling out a profile makes me wonder how John Dillenger would have felt if he hung his own picture on the post office wall! I am eclectic in all aspects of life from music and friends, to work and hobbies. I've dug ditches, fixed pinballs-juke boxes-computers, as well as managed massive data bases. I am the neighborhood fix it guy from electrical to plumbing to bicycles and cars and computers. When you fix a kids bike and they smile and then turn around and wave as they head down the driveway is just plain damn cool. My interests are as varied as the imagination can express. I can have a conversation with a political leader or a CEO (neither can be trusted), as well as hop on a Harley and ride with the group (THESE people I trust) and be comfortable. I'm "outside the box" and would not have it any other way. NOT a couch potato! Let's put ten bucks in the tank and see what new sites and people we can discover. Believe it or not, I'm a guy that likes to shop even if we just go window shopping, and am an avid people watcher. Seeing the little ones running and jumping ( or crawling and falling!) in the play court at the mall will bring a smile to my face and a joy in my heart every time. Raising my adopted son to see him go off to college is the ultimate! I hope to find/rescue a Weiner Dog to come and share my place with. Had one as my first dog at seven years old and wanted another ever since.

Interests:
I love Little League and Babe Ruth Baseball. I sit on the Board here in town plus coach and I am the Senior League Director. I've driven across three states to watch the boys play, would not walk across my lawn to see the pros play. Everyone says I'm a great cook. Put on some great jazz and or blues in the player in the kitchen or on the deck and I?m in! Gardening is a true joy, it is so neat to go out to the gardens and bring in some veggies for lunch and some flowers for the table. Also, I don't kill things, although I love the outdoors. Everything on this planet has as much right to live as we humans do. Some religions insist that only humans have souls. How Arrogant!!! Watching the Packers is great fun, but that is the extent of my sports interest unless it's any sport that has kids playing it. Kids are the coolest, pros are NOT. I like to play golf when I can.

I had a great weekend thanks. Lori and I went to bumming, then saw an excellent baseball game at the park that came right down to the last pitch in the bottom of the ninth. Our team lost by one,but what a game. Then we got to stay in the stadium for the best fireworks show I have seen since Disney. She runs a home for the mentally challenged that don't have enough skills to live alone and we took some of her guys with us.

I hope yours was just as great. Just remember what my dad tought me....A boat is a hole in the water to pour money into!!

Hey...Sounds like you had a great 4th ..What does went to bumming mean? You mean hanging around relaxing!! Or is this some sort of event? Yep, the boat can be a hole in the water...I call it a sponge..soaks up the dough..but I want to enjoy myself while I'm still active and able! I remember my Mom all she wanted to do was save her money...she had a stroke and nothing mattered any more. I hope you enjoy the rest of summer....and your baseball team wins their next game! Have a beer and hot dog for me...for some reason they always taste better at a ball park!!
