Newest Summer Fun

Mary Anne fell in love with and bought a 1970 Mustang Convertable fully restored. She lets me drive it some times. After ten years, we sold it because we were not using it enough. See below where the money went.

RVing

The picture below shows the RV we bought in Tucson AZ. We flew down and drove it back, 2700 mile shake down trip.

Summer Time

This is a picture of our cabin. During the summer I spend a lot of time here. This is on an island and we can't get to it for much of the time during the winter.

Of course the exception is the picture of winter fun found on my plane page that was taken on another part of the lake.

Movies

I have put some movies up on this website in case anyone wants to view them. I love to ride big roller coasters and hike in unusual places. Here is the link to the Movie page.

 

 

Winter Sports

In the winter of 2002 I started ski racing. I am down near the bottom of the list even in my age group. It is enough of a challenge to ski in Minnesota. You can find me at Wild Mountain and even my placement at Ski Challenge. Here's a picture of how I want to look when racing.

While racing in February 2011, I missed an icy gate and went down on my left hip. I got up and limped off the hill. A week later I was told I had a non-displaced fracture and was on cruchtes for six weeks. I have yet to go back to racing at Wild Mountain.

Heart Adventures

The spring of 2003 I had problems with my heart and had a stent put in. Here is a link to a long, 3.2 meg pdf file that describes what happened.

In 2008 I made another trip to the hospital. Read all about my adventures in the long pdf. About 34 meg and takes me about 4 minutes to download.
