I used to coach competitive swimming - I teach lessons for free only to *coachable* people of all ages.

I worked in a lab treating chemical process/wastewater and have a pretty good handle on running a variety of tests.

I tutor calculus and physics to people who want to learn, of all ages.

I will feed any passing-through motorcyclist, wherever I am (Nashville - soon to be - Dallas)

I am fat and lazy.
I can make gourmet ramen.
I live in a nice little apt with "the most comfortable couch in the world" according to all my friends.
I like to build stuff for fun (about to build a 100gal fish aquarium that will look like a tv)
I have a rare blood type.  (i was told it like 1 in 100 people have it)
I run a motorcycle parts and repair shop in Whitehouse Tx.
If anyone is in the Tyler Tx area, give me a call and ill show you the fun roads and good restaurants.
I spend way too much time on the internet at work.

i hope that's not where you learned to swim.

I barbeque the best salmon known to man (according to my wife)

You're wife's a man? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

As for me:

I spent the last 20+ years writing & doing press relations for a variety of organizations, so am a pretty fair editor, writer, and do well enough on the phone with reporters.

I'm an ACA certified swiftwater rescue instructor, so can teach you how to pluck someone out of a very bad place in whitewater. Or do the plucking.

I can teach you to roll a kayak, with or without a paddle.

Already on this list I've given advice about how to watch fireworks in DC, and know more than I need to about that city & the mid-atlantic after 20 years there (only about 18 more than I'd planned).

I've also agreed to go take a look at a vintage Chevy here in Prescott, AZ for a fellow DMF'er who wants me to look it over and take pictures before he spends the money on a plane ticket to come take a look himself.

I can show you some stunning high desert twisties all around Prescott, AZ -- getting here is half the fun.

i'm more than happy to share the cheap sipping bourbon in the cabinet -- though if you want to bring your own bottle of single-barrel, i guess that'd be OK.

I'm a degreed Mechanical Engineer.

I worked for Yamaha R&D for 11 years, working on marine products ranging from 35 knot hydrofoil sailboats to 4-stroke water vehicles.
If you've got a 4-stroke Yamaha water vehicle or jet boat, you can hold me personally responsible. 

I'm a member of the 200mph club. 
If you've got a question about speed trials, I likely know the answer.

I've got two cats, and no spare accomodations, but I'd be glad to sell you my house.
I'm no chef, but I can operate a grill.
The only musical instrument I can play is the stereo.
I have no idea what my blood type is.
I think a Gin & Tonic is a mixture of the two vilest tasting liquids on earth. 


I currently run Valley Ducati Service*, in Reseda, California.
If you need your Duc worked on, give me a shout.


* The service end of the shop formerly known as FlightCycles.

I've got a decade of experience in planning and zoning,  local land development, and local government affairs.  If you're fighting the strip mall going in next door, I can help you with your argument.

On weekends, I'm a bartender at a scandalous meat market.  I can keep you current on the latest shots, obnoxious dance songs, and advances in twelve-step programs.  If you want that skank's phone number, I can help you get it.  Being that I'm in Indy, I imagine I may meet a few of you for this reason during MotoGP weekend.

I'm a landlord and realtor.  If you need some advice on unloading that shack, I can help.  If you can't get that deadbeat out of the hut, I may know a guy.

I know enought Muay Thai to damage my own hands and feet on a regular basis.  I could probably show you how to damage yours in a similar manner.  Along the way, you may learn how to inflict the pain on someone else.

I own & manage several mercenary internet aliases.  For very limited compensation I will happily raid any forum you take issue with on your behalf, armed only with my own unique sense of humor and a photobucket account, laying waste to even the most seasoned on-line aggressors.
