1. I’m an early bird type person when I am working. I can work 18 hour days when I get going on something and loose track of days. I can get analytical when I am trying to figure something out but there is times when you just have to stop thinking and feel your way through to come up with the right answer. I guess it goes with being a Taurus. 2. My favorite time of year is Christmas. It is the time of year that I am happiest and don’t let things get to me. 3. My next invention will be a hair growing device. It is getting to the point where it is growing where I don’t want it and not where I want it. 4. I believe in karma and that it will pay back 10 fold. 5. I am perfectly content being at home and having that quiet time. 6. I love being in nature and exploring to get a glimpse of God’s wonders. 7. Life doesn't necessarily get easier as you get older; you just learn to deal with things better. 8. I am pretty much reserved or shy other than talking about what I know & believe in. Then I keep talking until I catch myself and shut up. 9. I have a few Harley motorcycles. They are one of my passions even though I don’t ride as often as I would like. There was a time I lived on my Harley. I used to wrench in shops in the 80’s where the bikes I built came out in Easyrider magazine. Like the custom bikes being built on TV now. 10. I like warm tropical weather. I will end up in the Caribbean. Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, a pirates life for me and salsa the night away. 11. I have always yearned for knowledge. If I am not learning something I am not happy but when it’s time to play the work gets put aside. 12. I like to go fishing and play or watch sports games. None of which I have had time for lately. 13. I have been a mechanic on cars doing high performance work or simple maintenance. I have a general contractors B license, a general engineer A license, I can do all the sub contracting C trades, I’m an OSHA competent person, I’ve had a excavation company & a sign company and belong to a lot of associations. When training someone they usually ask how I know these things. I usually say that I have forgotten things that they still need to learn. 14. I can take computers apart and put them back together and can run most software. 15. Kids are great especially ones that interact and listen. There is the karma thing again. I have one daughter of my own and three others that I treated as mine. 16. I like science fiction and video games, none of which I have any time for. 17. I have been with many lovers and have had two loves in my life. I hope I’m lucky enough to meet that special someone one more time but in the meantime I love meeting new people and making friends. They say the third time is the charm. 18. This year I am going to stop smoking and start working out again. I spend too much time at the computer. 19. I like to eat meat and/or vegetables. I like orange juice, power drinks, coffee or rum. I believe that too much of anything is no good for you. You have to mix it up. 20. If I let my beard grow without using shoe polish they could call me grey beard. 21. Opinions and money do not impress me. I take people for face value and who they really are. You are only as good as your word. I have a do what you say and say what you do type of mentality. There is no room in my life for liars and thieves. 22. I am catholic but I would like to believe that this lifetime is hell and if you screw up you get to come back and try again. Once you get it right you get to go to a better place. 23. I seem to have sensory perception and can sometimes tell beforehand that something is coming. 24. In my younger years, I was one of those wild ones. I’ve gotten in my share of trouble but hey, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Now I’m old enough to know better but young enough to do it again. 25. My current passion and greatest challenge is committed to making an impact on environmental changes. I feel that if we don’t change our ways within the next 20 to 50 years we won’t have to. Mother Nature will do it for us. Think me nuts but I have taken 100 year old technology and have invented and patented my own version. Using hydrogen to compliment fuel in vehicles to dramatically reduce emissions and get more miles per gallon. www.How2SaveFuel.com There are other things that I am investigating into but then for sure you would think me crazy.
