Lived in Western Canada all my life. Basically self-employed with ownership of motorcycle & sport shops, plus an electronic shop, full time fruit orchardist yet did everything from digging graves, to cleaning public washrooms, working in the CNR Express, as loader, collecting money to express car man, clothing salesman, etc.
Had a love for mainly individual sports such as Amatuer Wrestling, Judo, comp Downhill & Giant Slalom skiing, comp speed skating, mountaineering, racing motorcycles in basically all forms of dirt comp to road racing. Have had a love for f/arms & primerly h/gun target shooting. Age is upon me so I still ride m/cs (two spotbikes ---what the kids like to call "crotch rockets"--in my garage) & target shoot h/guns at least once a week.
Like to read & listen to MY sort of music being Classical Jazz, Blues & Latin Jazz but also have a liking for Classical music.
