A good run down Seneca is great fun.  Elk's Web site: http://www.elkskier.com/.  The view from the top of Elk is excellent!  Stand on top of Susquehanna and fall off the edge.

Gardening

We've been adding vegetable gardens to Windy Hill.  We now have 7 raised beds each 4' x 16'.  These beds will have a variety of heirloom vegetables.  Also we have a 10' x 20' corn patch, a 4' x 16' potato patch, and pumpkin and water melon patches.

Reading:

The Vegetable Gardener's Bible,  by Edward C. Smith.

A very useful reference for the gardener.

Page 102, "Reach into the soil beneath a potato plant and filch a few when the peas are ready.  A dish of new potatoes and tender young peas is a fine way to eat butter."

My kind of guy! (Bob) 

Landscaping

Around the house we've added two stone sidewalks and created substantial area's for plantings.  We now have several rhododendrons, hasta's, and other plantings.  We'll have trellis located at the western end of the house as well. 

Biking

Camping

Travel

St. John, US Virgin Islands:

The first drive around St. John is incredible!  Don't try to do it all in one day you'll wear yourself out.  The views are breathtaking!  One beautiful beach after another.  Driving is fun, first you drive on the left side of the road, but with an American style car left sided steering wheel.  If your brave enough to drive a stick shift transmission you'll have loads of fun on extremely steep roads with many switch back turns, it's like driving up a circular staircase sometimes.

Electronics:

I am a long standing member of the IEEE, Institute of Electrical, and Electronics, Engineers.  If your an engineer this is the society to be in.  One popular financial aspect is good term life insurance rates.  In fact there is usually a discount of 10-20% off the rates when you are actually billed.  This is not advertised as far as I know.
