Default what are your other hobbies and interests?

my primary interest is computing...I like learning about the new tech and what it does/can do. it's almost my job...so that's kinda cheating.

next up is astronomy. I just purchased an 8" Schmidt Cassegrain...the Celstron NexStar Evolution Edge 8 HD. also in my kit is a Sky Watcher 80mm ED refractor, a Celestron 90mm Maksutove Cassengrain and in preparation of the 2017 solar eclipse (totality viewable out of Oregon) a Lunt 60HA solar scope.

next up would be shooting. not for sports, just recreation and relaxation. recoil therapy, as my brother coined it, is quite fun!

I'd like to get in to microscopy, but I've no room for the equipment.

a year ago I had the pleasure of trying an Seadoo out for the first time. got up to about 60 miles an hour before I ran out of space. I was in the US, do the speedo was in miles.

but the real blast was getting to drive their airboat. it was amazing...

yeah, I used to mountain bike too...up until 1998 when I crashed going 80km/h down a trail in Kamloops.

I woke up 2 weeks later in the hospital and was told the story. lucky I had a friend with me, otherwise I would have died. as it was I had to be transported to the hospital via medi-vac.

I remember nothing. in fact, a lot is missing from before too. as I put it, August 21st, 1998, a day I'll never remember but a date I'll never forget.

A jetski is to a crotch rocket as a Seadoo is to a Harley Davidson... you can do a lot of tricks on a jetski and you stand up when riding, where a Seadoo is more for people to just sit down and cruise around
