Welcome to my web page. Please read on to explore my twisted world.
What Is All This Stuff?
It's a place for my stuff. You will see mostly hobbies and things that I do at this place, but I don't guarantee anyone, not even me, will understand what this is or why I put this here.
Sometimes I place stuff here to allow others to download or use it. I don't always put explanations or instructions to what's here, so it's not a very well done guided tour of my life. It's kind of like an electronic garage, you are invited to look and share, but I don't claim that it's organized or makes any sense.
Fun Things to Do
Recently I have been writing articles on the Guitars and Music pages: - music theory and practice charts, guitar amps, and song demos. There are many articles and photos on the Board Games and the Miniatures and Models pages. There's some fun stuff at the Triathlon and Mountain Biking areas, but I have not been writing much on these pages lately. If you like mayhem, drunkenness, and goofiness, try the Ale Knights page. It is eternally under construction, but it has some funny photos.
There is some ancient stuff on the Photo Page, Puppies Page and the Videography Page. I will always warn if a link is particularly big.
Everything else is lumped in the Other Hobbies page.
These are generally smaller areas of the site that fit into a few web pages.
Here you will find my lesser hobbies such as
Trebuchets and
Armor.

It has been a joy sharing the stories and photos about music, guitars, board games, triathlons, humor, dogs, and other personally curated oddities. with all our friends and readers.
