Interests: Loved to Hunt & Shoot & will again soon, plus I do my own Gunsmithing, as I customize rifles & handguns for myself & others with dwarfism. I was doing some automobile restoration to 4 Plymouths, 2-1972s, 1-'74, 1-'84, & 1-'84 Pontiac Fierro, I'm hoping to have one of them on the road by the time my daughters off to collage.
In 1999, I got into 1.5" Scale, Live Steam Model Railroading on 7.5" gauged tracks, so not only do you run them, you ride them as well
Favorite Music: Late 60's, 70's, 80's Rock, Contemporary Rock, Hard Rock, 80's & 90's Progressive New Wave, Some Country (not that twangy crap), Blue Grass. Classical, New Age Jazz.
Favorite Movies: Too many to begin to try naming here. Mostly Sci-Fi, Dramatic, Horror, Animated.
Movies I Want to See: Now days, it's difficult to really get excited about new movies, as either the stories are crap, or the actors. It's hard to really find a quality movie that really interests me. Besides, having Cable TV means I can see it a year later, after everyone else paid far too much on popcorn and soda, and tickets, to see a movie that they can control at home a year later. And being in a wheelchair, which sound like the better choice for viewing a moving.
Favorite Books: It's difficult to explain, as I'm into Military Books, which to some come off as a Manual instead of a book. But to each their own, I guess.
Books I Want to Read: Again, too many to list here.
Favorite Quotes: "Death From Within", a credo that mess cooks have, as they control the troops more than the Officers. Another is "Mess With The Best, Die Like The Rest", a Special Forces Credo.
Favorite Foods: Anything that you can eat, with it killing you, making you sick, or giving you the DT's. Try a 2 week Survival Campout, living off the land, or forrest, no prepackaged foods, canned foods, nothing but your pocket knives, hachets, axes, machettes, bayonettes, mess kits, 4' long steel rods 1/8" dia., bicycle intertubes, 200' of parachute cord. That's what you get besides tent, sleeping bag, canteen, a 3 changes of clothes. By the 4th day, slugs and grubs look great, earthworms are even better.
Favorite Places: Smokey Mountains, Rocky Mountains, Blue Mountains, Bitter Root Range, The Cascade Range, The Olympic Mountains, The Pacific Coastline (North, Central, South), Western Washington, Oregon, Northern California. Columbia River, Snake River, Yellowstone River, Klamath River, Missouri River, Mississippi River, Illinois River, Sangamong River, Lake Superiour, Lake Michigan, Lake Shelbyview, Carlyle Lake, Crab Orchard Lake, Carbondale.
