These pages include some side projects, as in non-professional things that I work on while I am away from work. Some of these may count as hobbies, others are just me fixing stuff that's broken.

We have a 1999 Fleetwood/Coleman Bayside pop-up camper (tent trailer). It's loads of fun to take out with the family, and it keeps us warm, dry, and more comfortable than a tent on the ground. It also requires a bit more maintenance than a tent. Some of these projects are practical, like repairs, and some are just modifications that are cool and functional, and some don't rise even to the level of functional.
Fixing your car can be fun. It lets you find out about how the car works, but also can be extremely humbling.
I have always been a fan of the stars, and when the weather and sky permit, I try to take out my 6" reflector to take a peek above. In the suburban bay area, there can be a lot of light pollution, but the sky is still there, and you can always find beauty looking upwards.
