I have a variety of interests and hobbies.

I have strayed away from some of my favorite things as life and personal budgets progressed. I used to do many things and feel lucky to have had the opportunity to participate.

My primary interests are all types of animals (wild and domesticated) I have had the opportunity to work with and raise Arctic and West Canadian Wolves for the North American Wolf Recovery and met some really awesome people in the field. Iv'e kept a variety of animals at the time. but none of them are still around anymore except a very special Red Fox named Amadeus. I've hand raised Bobcats, Cougars, Foxes, Wolves, and a couple ring tail lemurs. ("Willie" was my favorite) Another passion on the domestic side was, and always will be dog sledding, weight pulling, and fostering disadvantaged Sammies so they can find their way to a new home.

Auto racing and cars in general have always been an interest ever since I was a kid. At one time it turned into one of my first and earliest careers. I can still be found pretty much anywhere there is a car show, race event, or just hanging out with others with the same interests. I built a car not too long ago after being away from the hobby for a long time. I did it just to see if I still had the skills. I had intended to give the car to my Daughter when she graduated from school but, because of recent changes in our world it just wasn't meant to be. Although we did have fun with it while we had it. I have found another car for her and plan to start building it in the near future.

I enjoy going out dancing and socializing with friends, hitting a few of the summer festivals, and checking out some of the local bands, when the opportunity is there but it seems to be few and far between at the moment.

I like doing home repair work, remodeling, and just plain building cool stuff... There is nothing better than finishing something and stepping back to look over the end result.

That's about all that comes to mind right now... I may add a few things later.

I actually like all types of music but don't care for the extreme of some types. (I like to understand the words)

My top favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Kansas, .38 Special, and David Bowie. (Ahh crap! my age is showing)

I usually listen the "The HOG" when I'm in town but also listen to the ones my Daughter puts on too.
