Computers - I have a Mac mini and a Compaq laptop. I've built them from scratch many times, worked with all kinds of operating systems including linux but love my mac. digital photography - I have cameras, three digital SLR's (Canon) an XT, and XTi and a 30D. I have taken thousands of shots and for examples, check my galleries on LJ. hot springs - I have the coveted Sierra Singles Hot Spring Patch, I got for dipping in 10 natural hot springs on the Eastern Sierra. Of course the only way to do hot springs is naked, they don't call them natural for nothing. I can direct you to some great spots for skinny dipping in 100 degree water. lupus - I'm a rare bird, as I suffer from Systemic Lupus Ehrythematosis an immune disorder ( my immune system is hyperactive, the opposite of AIDS). I take steroids daily to suppress my immune system and to stay alive. maps - I was an Auto Club cartographer and am a Geography major, thus my love for maps (and atlases). mountain bikes - I have a K2 -Zed 3.0 mountain bike and a Gary Fisher Sugar 4+ mountain bike. I like to explore trails and forest roads and should do more cause I could use the exercise and solitude this offers. road trips - yes, I like taking off and making decisions on the fly. I've done trips from one day to a coast to coast to coast trip that took three weeks. I've traveled the back roads of most of the Western States. I like the discovery of new places, new vistas, new food, new people. trains - a new hobby, watching and photographing trains. There is color, pulse pounding power, the smells, the whole mystique of trains.
