I consider myself a naturally giving person, especially of my time & knowledge. If I'm going to help a family member or friends with a project, I really enjoy getting their input, because it makes it so much more enjoyable. One of my greatest joys now in life is working withina garage, workshop setting. I'm building tools, refurbishing older tool to put them back to use. The one thing I like about working with different tools is #1 they Save you time, #2 get the Job done faster #3 a person can be more actuate and precise on what ever project their tackling. I get a true satisfaction from building a gocart, minibike, snowmachine etc. Or just refurbishing an old snowblower someone else decided to toss out because it was beyond their own skill level to bring it back into use or operation. If I had the space and time, I'd be doing it with bicycles, if a person stude at any city dump in the spring time, I'll bet anyone a hundred dollars they would see no less then 25 bicycles being thrown out to be buried with the rest of the garbage. Thanks to some recycling the metal is melted down but what about all the labor and costs associated with not refurbishing these fairly new bikes. One could build an amazing charity out of asking the city to donate them to your charity so they could be given back to kids and adults alike in need of solid transportation.

I am a lover of animals of all kinds, I think it's been our greatest gift from the powers to be, I just wish that money and greed wouldn't have brought so many to the edge of extinction. We all co-exist here on this planet so no individuals should have the right to kill off another species simply for personal gain. If we are talking about feeding your family, then that's a whole different subject.

I enjoy reading subjects I'm interested in learning especially when it comes to either building or fixing things, new technology, environmental enhancements in furthering man/womankind.

Some of my hobbies are fixing up cars, motorcycles, or anything with an engine, home renovations, wood carving (intricate items) like small scale motorcycles. Gardening has become one of my latest smaller passions, I love seeing all of those fruit & vegetables coming alive from mother earth. I also love seeing all of the beautiful flowers coming up in the spring & summer time that you had planted the year before. I will leave you with one thing to ponder and that is Do You "Live and Let Live"
