Hobbies

Beekeeping - I've been a beekeeper since 1992.  One of the fun things about beekeeping is entering items in the state fair every year.  I've been pretty lucky so far with a number of best of show and best in class ribbons.  Click on the picture below to see a picture made by my friend Bob Cutler.

Amateur Radio.  My latest project was building the ATS-3 four band transceiver.  This is a kit sold by KD1JV and fits inside an Altoids Tin.  You can see my pictures and more info on it.
Computerized well control. I've written a program called WellMaster to control deep well pumps on Camano Island so that pumping is concentrated during periods of low tides. For more information on tides and tide programs see the Oceanography on the Net page published by the Scripps Institute.
Backpacking
Skiing (once a year !)  Our favorite spot is Sun Peaks, BC.
