1) I'm not actually a CI, I'm an MIB (men in black) but the "cover" gets me into suspect alien homes ;-)

2) Sometimes I set out on my patio and listen to no music at all!
Just the sounds of nature.

3) My Harley has cobwebs on it due to the amount of time I spend doing family related things and home improvements!

4) My speed boat is more neglected than my Harley!

5) I'm still trying to figure out what I want to to do for a living "when I grow up!".

1) I love to try new foods
2) Between my Batchelors and Masters degrees I spendt 6 months in Europe (mostly in Greece)
3) In my youth my idea of a good time was partying hard, but now it is more good company and good beer
4) back in college (CEGEP) partied too much, failed some courses and had the nickname Harley
5) I play soccer at launch downtime with my old co workers. We used to play 12 months of the year outdoor soccer ( we did that for 2-3 years) but with me and my boss being let go and a third person changing companies (we were 4-7 people playing in the snow) last March was the first one where there was no one to organize it. It almost stopped last year (my ex-boss was the founder and I was his second in command, the third guy ended up filling the hole but he soon left, my bosses daughter started organizing it after that but only did so for a couple of games last summer before she left and moved to Hawaii, luckily this year someone else decided to revive it)


pilgram: I agree with #5, same here

1 - I don't have a Harley, boat or international travel history, but I do have a motorcycle license and ride when I can, boat whenever there's a chance, and really enjoy road tripping all over the US. (Gas Prices have cut into all of this) That's why my most recent adventures have been non powered.

2 - I built the Puppet Bike

3 - The Jet Rack IS doing very well and we're telling tons of them each month. Last week we made more changes to the web site. It's not yet lining my pockets, but it's far from being the toughest project in my life. Just getting by is enough fun for me.

4 - Friendship and family life are more important to me than anything. Some people are more of a struggle to get along with, but it's worth the effort in the long run.

5 - I love to cook, paint, draw, build, invent, weld, write, read, and visit R.C. more than any other site... Even more than my own!
Jet Rack ... It's what's for breakfast

I have to agree.

If it wasn't for family, I wouldn't be here today!

I come from a close family and we all put up with each other and have a great time!

1) I will be a father for the first time in about seven months. I am very excited about that now.

2) I married my first real girlfriend. I stalked her for 2 1/2 years until she started dating me:) We started dating when I was in high school, went to college together, and got married after 7 1/2 years of being together.

3) I am a percussionist, and got paid to play in college. Gotta love scholarships!

4) I'm 6'5" and weigh 260 lbs. and clients look at me funny when I tell them I will be crawling around their attics. I played football in high school and college.

5) I would love to tell you one more but I work so much that I've forgotten about the rest of my life. Let's all take a vacation.

Sc0tty, I also have to watch "Princess Bride" when it comes on, don't know why.
