Self-employed for more than the past twenty years. Sold the business and now entirely focused on the one lifetime passion - learning.

Top favorite pastimes:

• Programming - reasonably accomplished programmer. Self-taught and started over 30 years ago. Started with programming the HP 41, caught the bug, and could never stop after that. Also, could never stop using RPN.
• Electrical / Electronics - AC/DC and microelectronics - Arduino and Raspberry.
• Machinist - manual and CNC (lathe / mill) and other machinist tools. Special thanks to YouTube's MrPete and This Old Tony.
• DIYer - design and make devices, necessaries, and tools.
• Metal Casting - Use homemade foundry, casting (aluminum / bronze/ copper), generally functional and non-artistic.
• Drawing - AutoCAD and SolidWorks
• Glass - glass blowing.
• Writing - top poster with high positive response rates. Normalized position - Right of Center.
• YouTube - video poster with some highly viewed videos. Enjoy the entire process of video design, editing, and creation. Status: Over 100 K YouTube views. Quality of videos: improving.

Modus operandi - the compulsion to learn new things each day comes from a lifelong fixation - source unknown. Most likely end-of-life regret: not learning more things.
