So who am I. After 73 years I think I'm finally starting to figure that out.
I'm an honest man who was a Telecommunication Engineer and Computer Programmer for over 35 years. I'm retired now, divorced, no kids, live alone with 2 little budgie birds in a house in Coppell, Texas.
I was into Astronomy me back in my late 20s when I lived in Florida using a 6" reflector and a bunch of various EPs. Then I got married and had to sell the Corvette, the boat, and the Telescope was taking up too much room. I sold the scope but she didn't last too long.
My hobbies are writing music in my home music recording studio. I play several instruments. Well, I USED to play several instruments as arthritis has taken the fun out of my music hobby completely.
I used to be a Private Pilot when I lived in Florida and enjoyed flying down to the keys and up to Daytona in those little Cessna planes you see at small airports. That gets very expensive so I gave that up for the Microsoft Flight Simulator which is amazingly accurate.
I used to own and operate online Sports Fantasy Leagues offering leagues in NASCAR Cup racing and NFL Football. Sold that when I retired from my day job.
Now I'm getting back into Astronomy and my Doctor convinced me to join the local Family Gym so I try to workout 3 times a week and ride my bike 5 miles a day weather permitting.
In closing, I thank this board and it's members and I'm very impressed with the friendly, professional, and informative nature of the all the members.
Regards to all,
Nick
