Funny, I'm also in a corporate sailing league. It's great when the
company helps to sponsor it. They have races near the Statue of Liberty
one day a week for 6-8 weeks in 3 season rotation. Last year we did one
season. This year is potential for more (hopefully!). A 35ft boat would
be nice, but we cope with our 5-6 person crew on J-24s.
Also, I'm remodeling a house in another state. That's a lot of work,
band exercises a different set of skills. There's quite a lot of things
to do on a house built in the 60s before code enforcement was common:
insulation, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bath, some significant demo,
concrete, and a few other odds and ends. I get to collect some new
tools. Who knew a Milwaukee Hawk hammer drill from Craigslist could be
so awesome.

We dream of owning our own and cruising around the world some day. I
plan on writing fiction while she...does whatever she wants, pretty much.
Also, I'd love to go into space some day, but we're a few decades away
from people like me being able to afford it. Sadly.

Hello!
Recently I went AFK and on to a construction site, picking up
the hammer and "saw" results. System Administration; Our work,
is seemless and transparent if all is successful. The years of
desk work, burning out and watching what I eat has got me
thinking; How do i utilize my skills while staying active
(getting dirty)? A Nagios alert should involve a submarine,
mount Everest and a cave, while hanging upside down from a
harness with laptop in hand!
Tell me about your perfect Anti-Office Linux job or your james
bond style fantasy!
You are all awesome, stay awesome and I wish you all the best!
