The Penguin Farmer. The Geek. The one that's never beein in a fight.
An enjoyer of good whiskey and fine beers. A self proclaimed lover of things canine.

I've been and am:
A bassoon player in a symphony orchestra
A stage actor, producer and director
A beekeeper
A flight medic
A phlebotomist and lab tech
A 'bum' living in a trailer in someone else's frontyard
An IT specialist supporting small business firms
An entrepreneur - that didn't make it big
An RF tech and service "Specialst"
A shooter - marksman, re-loader, 'smith'
A survivor - extreme weather conditions, for fun
A fixer of things broken
An amateur radio operator - RF enthusiasts
A rider and driver of things self propelled
An evangelist of FOSS
An enemy of entropy
An idealist
A patriot
A husband
A father
A friend

Someday, I may just figure out what I want do do with my life. Maybe about the time it's finished
Until then - I am chameleon or blue ringed octopus - depending
And I like to sit in my chair and shoot my pellet rifle at the piles of junk mail
