About me

I have a girl named Victoria and we have 4 GREAT children, One daughter, SHE WIL BE DESIGNING AND TESTING ROCKET ENGINES FOR NEW SPACE SHUTTLE !!!!! One son Is A HIGH STEEL WORKER .. the second WEIGHT TRAINER and the Youngest is in college for ACTING and Primary TEACHER ? "THE LAST ONE GRADUATES SOOON !"
I build things, any thing, But I love to build toys.
from simple sail boats to multifunction radio control ships.
My last major project was a 30 H.P. Off road go-cart. It has full rollcage with safety harness. rack and pinion steering, and 5 speed transmission.
It's been clocked at 75MPH on dirt roads And hot rodding dirtbikes, the kids love it, All kids are great!
I alpine ski all over U.S. and Canada. and back pack portions of Pacific Crest Trail.
North America Big game hunting (FOR FOOD) I don't like eating hormone injected fat and persticide induced domestic creatures. I Scuba dive alot, sight seeing and catching Crab, Clams and fish. I'm pretty much like tinkering in my shop. " KEEPS ME OUTTA THE PUBS !"
I am working on a small onsite Hydrogen generator to make a clean, highly efficeint fuel to power passenger vehicles through electrolisis.
Water to power our cars! Death to OIL. Stops WAR. Stops
Pollution. UPDATE: Well I just about have my shop back together, FIRE! I don't think I'll mess with that anymore.
So now I'm working on a Media storage/Playback computer.. 4TB cap... al the media on hard drives and screw those retarded remotes i'l select with a wireless mouse.
I'm tired of the industries changing the format / playback machines every year or so.. HD,BLU-RAY,DVD, VHS/BETA, "WTF?"
I sarted with Albums and 45s... Anyone remember Wabbit Ears?




My work

My work ? HMMMM.
well I spent 35 of my 50 years at sea , Sailing around the world aboard various types of ships, I hold Chief Engineers License of the U.S. Merchant Marine. I worked on a cruise Ship once and could not wait to get off that nightmare. Baby sitting a bunch of Drunks was not my forte.
I think My most favorite job was for Bureau of Indian affairs aboard A ship
That brought everything required to build a whole new village in Alaska.
Infrastructure, School,Power plant, Waste treatment plant, Fresh water plant, community center, and 200 2&3 bedroom homes. It was Awesome.
I don't have to work at sea any longer,I do a few prepurchase surveys of a few ships but mostly pleasure craft. I do make a trip or two per year at Sea to refuel my soul, and my gurl will love me again! The last trip started in Oxnard, CA to Pearl Harbor , Okinawa, Subic, Newport China, Taipei, Singapore, Dubai, Iraq, Kuwait, Port Suez, Port Said, Gran Canarie,ending in Jacksonville,FLA.
Really Tired.
