Vinyl Rules!

Keeping my Stage IV Agent Orange cancer at bay (Duke Oncologists told me I was going to die over Christmas in 2015, but I'm a survivor!). When I'm healthier, I enjoy underwater and dry land photography, writing about audio & music. My work has been featured in The Absolute Sound and HiFi+ magazines and in the book "McIntosh.....for the love of music..." (I wrote the story on the development of the famous MR78 Tuner), helping moderate the FM Tuner Group at www.fmtunerinfo.com, gourmet cooking, reading, shooting (I am an expert marksman), quilting, smocking, and needlepoint (last 3 for SWMBO 😍. We live at an elevation of about 3,500' in the Blue Ridge Mountains where the TN/NC/VA borders intersect. Former CIA/DIA/NSA/MACV-SOG spook. Mostly retired but you never really "retire" from a 3-letter government agency. Favourite small arms are the FN FiveseveN pistol and its matching FN 5.7/28mm caliber FN P90 bullpup SMG with SS190 body armour piercing ammo. Please let me know in advance if you plan to visit - I never outgrew the urge to play with firearms and blow shit up!! ⚔️ 💣 🤺 🎖 🏹 🕶"
