Hiking, exploring, camping, hunting (basically hiking with a gun because I'm not real eager to shoot anything), touring and sightseeing, eating good food, drinking (Do ya like drinkin'? Aw well who don't?), fooling around on the computer, watching tv, and when I get real ambitious, trying to work out a bit to delay the onset of "old man body". I also try a bit of cooking now and then.

About me: As of this writing I'm 55 years old. I've been married for 30 years although my wife doesn't stay with me these days, her idea not mine. I work for a metal treating company and have worked there for a total of 34 years. What we do and how we do it is actually pretty cool, almost magical to the uninitiated eye. Visualize steel reaching red heat in seconds as you watch with no apparent heat source in sight...
Who I'd like to meet: I am meeting you in an ongoing process now!

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE ! ! Send One to All Your Friends Who You Think Deserve A Hug (Which, Hopefully Includes the Person Who Sent It to You) You might send it to your enemies as well! It'll really make them stop & Think!!! If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them! If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends.
If you receive this back 2 times .
You're off to a good start, unless you sent it to yourself.
That's cheating! If you receive this back 3 times, You're a good friend.
If you receive this back 4 times, You are truly loved as a friend!!
Hmmm, I think I’ll put a little story of mine here as the way to say hi…uhmmm, which I think I already did:). Anyway, I'll let The Hedgehog loose:
Ok, a bit hung over, so I decide to take out the trash in order to do at least something productive for a change. A small step for a man and damn sure for the mankind too!
So I open this door that leads to the shed where the trash cans are, and hmm.. what the heck is that supposed to be on the floor!?
There is this small, empty 2 decilitre carton of cream, sure, but the spiky thing hanging out of it keeps me puzzled for a few seconds.
I can feel a smile slowly growing on my face when I finally start to get it! A hedgehog, not much larger than the carton itself is half way in it trying to get what's remaining of the cream. And probably went there too at the same moment I opened the door and is now too scared to move at all.
The hedgehog probably doesn't know the fact that I actually CAN see the rear end of it:).
I find myself stairing at this very curiously for another few seconds until I can see the hedgehog's center body move from breathing and the poor thing making this "phww"-sound, probably "Ok man, I give up!" in Hedgehoguese.
After this I realize that I probably distracted a special moment for this little fellow, so I leave him be to go about his business. Animals are funny:).
The Story of Starbucks Welcome!,
allow us to tell who we are. Starbucks Coffee is the leading retailer,
roaster and brand of specialty coffee in the world, with more than
6,000 retail locations in N America; wherever there is a demand for
great coffee. Starbucks
brews and serves coffee products to the caffeine-crazed populace of
urban America. In the U S, Starbucks has become the McDonalds of the
coffee world; Starting as an obscure coffee shop in Seattle in the
early 1970s, Starbucks has grown so much that they now own significant
portions of N Y, Cgo, Bos, S F,& almost all of
Seattle. 1st
'Starbucks Experience' Starbucks, You notice it smells very,
very strongly of coffee, which is perfectly understandable. As if the
very air is caffeinated around you. Walking
to the counter, you will notice patrons playing chess, discussing
philosophy, or arguing the finer points of the jazz album playing over
the sound system. Occasionally, there will even be live music. From
yuppies,teen 'rebels', local students, Starbucks usually shows a broad
spectrum of coffee-drinking stereotypes.
