Enjoy tinkering with electronics and programming. Huge fan of nature scenes and all avians. National Parks - have visited over 50, highlights include: hiking down to the bottom of Grand Canyon and camping there, Angel's Landing, the Subway, seeing milky way from Brice canyon, Yellowstone is a must do (been there 3x including winter) . Professional background; Electronics Engineering and Physical Scientist.

I have been fascinated with Vacuum tubes since about the age of 12. Friends ask "why would want an old tube system" - my answer; You can have a new Electric Vehicle with tons of tech, but there is a different "ethos" when you have a real engine.
