In my time away from work, I like to enjoy life by means of grabbing a fishing pole and some tackell and hitting the water, weather permitting. If not, I like to find a reasonable project and emurse myself into the detail build of something with my hands and wood. When I am a little more ambitious, I try and expand my mechanical skills on automotive restoration. Last project, still ongoing, is a 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ.
