Married, active home DIYer

Married for 30 years, I enjoy downhill skiing, jogging, bicycling and am a Star Trek nut. I also enjoy building computers and home networks (I am a self-professed computer geek), and also spend a copious amount of time and money at Home Depot to support working on projects around the house.
