DesertRatDan on Squidoo

Hi everyone, I'm Dan. I live in the Great Southwest Desert of the USA. I am retired from a coal-fired power plant (26 yrs.). I worked in a copper mine before that. I understand pretty much all things mechanical. I've performed all of my auto maintenance for the last 40 years or so and don't want to do it anymore ? go figure.

Hi everyone, I'm Dan. I live in the Great Southwest Desert of the USA. I am retired from a coal-fired power plant (26 yrs.). I worked in a copper mine before that. I understand pretty much all things mechanical. I've performed all of my auto maintenance for the last 40 years or so and don't want to do it anymore ? go figure.

I'm a preacher's kid, and I've been bad from time to time but that's only because I used to play with the deacon's kids. I've been married to the same wonderful woman for 40 years, God help her, and have two wonderful, adult, daughters.

I like to build computers. I even troubleshoot and do repairs for other folks as well. I like to prospect for gold and I like rockhounding in general. I truly love the desert. It is a place where you can see for miles. Anyone thinking that we've over crowded our world has not been out in the desert.

I've been an Internet junkie for a while but am new to Squidoo. I wanted to make a blog but I need to find something interesting to blog about, otherwise why? I'll start with creating some lenses and I hope that they will be interesting and helpful to those who read/view them.

If you read all of the above, it must mean that you are a tenacious person.

Thanks Much - Dan
