To: Thank You Rush
A smart man told me not too long ago, "Find your passion, and make it your hobby. Then, find what you enjoy most after that....and make it your job."

Good advice, sez me. Especially since I "Made my passion my job." BIG mistake. I wound up in IT because I liked computers. Now, I can't stand the sight of a computer because I stare at them all day.

Looking forward to retirement, so I can enjoy puttering with electronic gizmos again.

I loved TV and video production but it was a dead end career going into the 2000s in my area.

While in that line, I developed a knack for technology and finally transitioned after a time in the wilderness.

Unless the weather is terrible or I’m not up to doing things outside, I try not to look at one.
