United States
Gathering Tropical Fish, Robotics, Biological Filtration systems (mostly aquatic), breeding/raising tropical Fish, Engines of all sizes, solar arrays, just about any engineering problem requiring actual thought, aqua/aero dynamics.
Currently I am working with Gulf Coast Crustacean Research trying to identify several micro-critters we have here in our gulf. Also I raise Corals and am providing the space for some of the tanks they keep stuff in. As well as breeding wierd fish, Counting Species in our Gulf and generally having the time of my life. Also I play with deceased Marine Electronics for a break from computers when boating is just not an option.
I also Tow old Junk Boats out of Marinas and from Private Parties. Most I give away, Some I play with first and then give away. I try to give them to people working out of labor halls and just out of prison, make sure they know where they can anchor, make sure the bilge pumps work call it good type of thing. We only help the ones I know are trying. if you are looking for a tax break, I would recommend Boat Angel Ministries as they are the only ones I know are helping more than their own pockets. Me, I aint gonna file an NPO I am too retired for these projects to become more than a hobby. One of my Focus areas of study is the life in waters from other areas if anyone feels like sending water/plant samples in any quantity at all, it is Gulf Coast Crustacean Research, 791 Porpoise RD, Venice, Florida 34293. Persons outside the US need to put "water/plant Samples" on the packaging or it will not clear Customs. I am trying to see what micro-crustaceans and other critters that other areas have or lack when compared to our local gulf waters. Also I watch the effects of introducing small quantities of water from other areas into tanks containing cheap corals that I raise for this purpose (IE: does it cause a feeding response, does it cause a withdrawal of the corals) Nothing really organised but the results are usually posted for future reference.

Movies
Anything Funny
Television
Removed the tuners from my tv's the minute they came in. Just use them to play DVD's
I currently manage several websites for others such as http://www.marinedynamics.com
http://www.redneckboating.com
http://www.dynamicbuys.com
http://www.fcaappraisals.com
http://www.marinedynamics.net
http://www.crabbyshrimps.com
http://www.gulfcoastcrustaceanresearch.com
and about 79 more so even if I liked TV between the Gulf Coast Crustacean Research thing, Managing the fishery, managing several other sites, fixing all my friends' computers, maintaining a handful of automated loading systems - I ask you when would I have that much time?
Besides there are other things I would much rather spend time with than a TV set.
Books
Well after some thought I decided I cant tell you but quite possibly it could be that my favorite book was based on another book whose name allegedly might be based on the book about johnny apple-seed.
Further;
It could be that the name of my favorite book was possibly and perhaps intentionally re-named and alluded to a popular subculture herbal substance which may have replaced the original aforementioned fruit as a precedent to seed in the title which could have been modified to reflect the spreading of the aforementioned herbal substance across a country located in the Americas possibly in the northern regions. It may possibly be said that the book could have in part been a fantasy about the possibility of certain dogs no longer being trained to smell any of what might be a member of the Cannibus family . Due solely to the abundance of such a plant-type of herb in just about every open patch of ground as a direct or indirect result of seeding the aforementioned plant, perhaps an herb.
The text in question could end with a vague reference to the possibility of such a series of events leading every person who may have possession of seeds for the aforementioned herbal type of plant to spread their seeds everywhere and help the possibly fictional person see the reality of such a thing in that persons (who may or may not be probably fictional) Lifetime.
It may have been alluded to by a person or representative thereof that the above reference could well be to a very real text: Written by someone who may or may not have been in the employ of a federal judicial bench for some unnamed country possibly in the northern regions of the Americas at the time of its writing.
Perhaps it was the only 400 or so pages I truly laughed all the way through.

Just your average nerd. I spend most days (and nights) working on computers, robots or I go out gathering Fish, small crustaceans and plant life from our wonderful gulf. Not really much to tell. I am basically retired, comfortable. I still take on networks for something to do and to keep sharp. Just a big bearded Hippie wandering our Florida waters these days.
My current thing is Hippie with a boat, you buy the gas I'll haul your ass. I dont really give 2 shits for money but I can't afford to buy gas for everyone on my retirement income so I make them top whichever boat off and maybe pick up sodas or something. Most of the time I am using a newer Carolina Skiff Custom Built with lots of deckspace for shallows fishing/snorkeling sightseeing, 10,000 Islands runs, redneck rides Whatever you are up for. Myself I could care less about the big fish (I am into the teeny ones) but I know how to catch bait and enjoy the heck out of snorkeling around while others fish for the big ones And because I am in the water all the time (not on it) I know where the fish are. Much rather go beaching, snorkeling, grass flats wandering or bounce around the 10,000 Islands than fish though. I do a lot of nature tours lately for folks that have never gotten to see a dolphin or a manatee up close and personal. I do enjoy taking people fishing and always make sure they get some fish but I prefer to take the ones who are really going to clean and eat them - I think the whole catch and release thing is cruel in that the fish are put back injured every time and often badly enough they either will not recover and die a slow and what one can only assume would be a painful death. Then there are the fish that get put back bleeding and become instant targets for other fish. (no I aint no tree hugger just watched the catch and release thing too much (from under the water with them)- I believe like my grand-dad did - If'n ya aint gonna eat them or put them in your aquarium... leave them for folks who will) There is nothing more fun to me than wandering the waterways and watching folk's eyes light up when they see all of the life in these waters - Seahorses, Filefish, Triggerfish, Blennies, Gobies, Starfish, Puffers, Shrimp of every color of the rainbow and a whole lot more critters that people just are not normally aware exist. The folks who just want to shoot down past all the houses and see real Florida are next to my top favorite people to have onboard too. I dont mind drunks as long as they are happy drunks - the obnoxious kind need to find a captain that is charging them to put up with it and that damn sure wont be me - stoners are always welcome aboard. I have been known to buy the gas myself if SHE looks good enough.
Got room for 4 on either boat and am ready to escape from computer work anytime at all. (941)497-3580 after 6 pm if you are interested. And if you forgot to pay your favorite marine towing Service and you find yourself stranded in our area... Keep my number handy I will make sure you get home - I dont charge but hopefully you cover the gas but Hey if you got nothing I understand that too. It's been me stuck out there at 2am too many times not to help.
I am your true All American Redneck boy! A Genuine Alabama Born Child of the South. I speak directly, respectfully and often too honestly. I am not a rascist (kind of impossible being Jewish), I am not a bigot but I can and will joke about anyone or anything. I believe in the Constitution and The Bill Of Rights - If you are against any part of those 2 then I would rather you did not let me know about it. I firmly believe that If you can't deal with that, you probably need to go back to yankee country.
Who I'd like to meet: Been on here for a while so I figured I would update this section to answer some of the most common questions.
I really am just here to make friends Simple as that and yes; If I click on mostly females .... big deal I am a red-blooded American male so chances are if I am clicking around and stumble on someone who seems like they have 1/2 a brain or might be funny.... I will generally click the "add" button.
Chances are I will click "add" if she looks hot too.
Like I said I am just here to make friends with folks and nothing more....
But since the heading says Who I would like to meet.....
Lets be brutally honest:
Well ....
Hmmmm Lets see.....
I would like to meeet an actual Dominatrix type female. Kinda Tired of meeting the ones that get me tied down and then ask what to do - I want to see what she does ....or is that not the whole point of the thing? Since that one aint happening ....
How about a Petite, Anorexic Nymphomaniac?
Probably not going to happen either.
So In Leiu of either of my lifelong fantasies...
How about just a Non-Psychopathic Female?
Perhaps an honest Politician?
A Cop who has never lied for or against a suspect and obeys the law at all times?
I pretty much like to meet anyone funny.
I like meeting the folks who just want to go out on the boats and wander Florida.
Hell I even like all the saltwater geeks I have been meeting on here who come over and stare at the tanks for hours on end - even though I get kind of edgy when they tease some of the more dangerous critters I keep in some of the tanks.
So all that out of the way.....
For the ladies who are interested in more than friendship - I discourage it but being male I am pretty much willing.
Just to clear the air in advance Though
I am interested in friendship only .
But if you insist on taking things further:
Yes the dominatrix thing is for real - no I dont go the other way.
Yes I am into petites.
Just for reference though: I am the living personification of "Mr Wrong".
I burp, fart, snore,squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom, work on the tiniest of electronics over my lap while sitting indian style on the living room carpet, am prone to not wearing shoes most of the time and am somewhat of a slob. I firmly believe that when I buy a piece of clothing - it has a lifetime commitment and I do not necessarily mean its lifetime. I am generally working on something or other and seem inattentive.
My best friend happens to be a lesbian. I have 2 Squirrels living in the house, frequently eat ice cream with a local family of raccoons out back by close to 7000 gallons of aquariums (multiple tanks - all one system).
I pretty much spend every spare penny on boats, boating, my aquariums and the rest I usually put into the pot for Gulf Coast Crustacean Research and am therefore broke most of the time.
I have an IQ off the scale yet have to be reminded to eat or sleep most of the time. I like sex and it is about the only way to get me to drop what I am doing but I am a typical nerd and you should consider old copies of Byte Magazine (from back when they still had source code in it) or such great works as the "Toshiba Semiconductor Reference" to be nerd pornography for the mind and therefore possibly more enticing to me than casual sex.
I disappear for days or weeks at a time and go wandering, snorkeling or even beaching - depends on how much money I have to spend that week. Generally I will come home when I am close to broke and barely have enough to order food and smokes until the next retirement check comes in.
I buy nothing on credit, have absolutely no sympathy for those that do.
Now if you think you can get around all that and want to take it beyond friendship into a relationship... OK -
Otherwise I will continue having casual sex with women who enjoy such things.
I will continue to have female friends who I never have sex with nor would but I happen to enjoy hanging out with.
If you are the type of woman who thinks I am getting laid just because I was in a hot tub with 10 nearly or completely naked females - you have me all wrong and we shouldn't waste each others time.
When I do get into a relationship I am faithful once it is established that that is what it is. I will not give up friends of years Just because the woman in my life does not like them - not even the ones that come over for no reason to annoy me with yet another broken computer and I never see them otherwise. I am willing to accept any of her friends she should likewise be the same way.
Now if that does not make me the living personification of "Mr Wrong" Did I mention I am an introvert, more apt to be comfortable in the resturaunt with 10 or less people than 100.
I go into WalMart at 2am to avoid people yet will build stuff in Home Cheapo or Lowes to the amusement (or amazement - depends on point of view) of often small crowds of people. I also often spend time buying bottles (I dont drink)for the winos behind the liqour store and at the docks so I can hear their stories and jokes and such for a while.
The beard and hair are not going to go away no matter how good you look..... Still interested in being more than friends? E-nag me one time - if it does not yeild an actual meeting I will shoot you straight to the friend zone before the second e-mail and not pursue it beyond friendship from that point on.
Rest of Ya'all e-nag me all you want - I am really just here for meeting friends, trade a few jokes through the bulletins and leave funny, g-rated comments on other peoples pages (ya'all can leave anything you want on mine (except advertisements....hate those things - like it campy and fun not a marketplace). Is that a clear enough explanation of where I stand?
I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc..
Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his roof top behind her.. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes..
I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.
*Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility confirmed that *77 was a direct link to State trooper info.. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *77.
