I picked my username from the books above my laptop by Clive Cussler. I am getting closer to retirement age and want to get back into boat models. I have a few hulls to work with but have lacked zip. reading about other people's work encourages me and I would like to be helpful. My occupation is electronics. I lived mostly in Maine with a short stint in Connecticut working on Submarines in Groton. I had enough cold, dark, wet weather for two lifetimes so I moved to Gulf Breeze in 1999. What a killer spot. White sand beaches and warm water to float in until your skin wrinkles. Saw a manatee a month ago close in to the beach and I thought it might be a shark so I nearly walked on water to get back to the beach. I like photography, have a small home machine shop, have too much junk, like metal detecting but have yet to find enough to pay for a change of batteries. Have seen my share of UFO's and got some pictures and videos of lights I cannot explain. They haven't offered to give me a ride but I would go in a flash if I had the chance. The motherboard i n this laptop may crash at any moment so i better post this now as I will never remember it again.
