My love for old cars got revitalized when I bought my Dad's 1950 Hudson Pacemaker from him last year just before he passed away. I always wanted an old car to take to car shows, but never had the time to get one restored or didn't have the money to do it. I also have the first car that I ever had, the good old family hand-me-down. A 1960 DeSoto Adventurer with pushbutton transmission. It sits in a storage shed waiting to get restored.

I fly radio controlled airplanes too, the largest, a Piper Super Cub having a 100" wingspan & floats for landing on water, weighs 10 pounds. I still have not tried the floats yet. The smallest is one made of foam & weighing 8 ounces.

And I am kind of a Tech Junky, I like all the latest greatest electronic gadgets. My first computer back in the 80's was a Commodore 64 or something like that. You had to load all the programs by typing in machine language codes that you got from the Commodore magazine at the time. I think the iPhone is great! Love the Apps!
