-Ham Radio (especially vacuum tube vintage equipment)<br><br>-I absolutely love jazz and Brazilian &quot;samba&quot; music (ala Stan Getz)<br><br>-Italian sports cars are another hobby of mine (I own a 1972 Detomaso Pantera that I restored for over a two and a half year period). It's a Ghia bodied mid engine job powered by a Ford 351 Cleveland engine slightly warmed over. <br><br>-I am a &quot;former&quot; aerospace/defense engineer. I am currently a platoon leader in the Army National Guard in tanks (M-1A1 Abrams). I should be promoted to Captain by next March. <br><br>-Got into cigars a little over a month ago as a result of a fellow officer. I love every minute I get to light one up. My favorite past time is to go to an outside open bar with friends and enjoy a great smoke over conversation and the requisite adult beverage! May current favorites are:<br><br>-Cohibas (just about any size)<br>-La Gloria Cubana Torpedo #1<br>-La Flor De Jalapa (tried a Presidente...to much but it was great!)<br>-HdM Excaliber and 1066's.<br><br>Looking to try the Perdomo Cabinets next. That's about it. Let me know if you have any questions on any of the above and I'll try to answer. <br><br>
