Like for example a job I'm working on right now is for out in Nebraska.

Restoration and renovation project coordinator, mainly working with historical buildings. Also I moonlight as a volunteer EMT, a volleyball coach, and an alpine ski instructor. I have however become addicted to non-Hasbro approved Risk so all of these endeavors have taken a back seat to world domination....

Thanks RD! You are right... there is a very good feeling when you have reserected an old building yet have left it looking as close to original as possible! We will not get into how it feels to deal with all of the issues inbetween start and complete though! LOL

KB Alpine is "Down hill" skiing vs "cross country" (Nordic) Which I also love to do but have yet to get certified as an instructor.

Backglass So true.... But as I have aged the young bucks always seem to get there first.... Anyway I am more into far western women...

Which leeds me too...

WICKED! We can do both! you show me your skills and I will show you mine! I will even throw in my recipe for hot Canadian Club and Cider and proper positioning in the hot tub! 8)

I know what I'm talking about. I was born in Bellevue...and when I said it sucks I was mostly referring to the weather. Mostly.
