Hello, actually I'm a young boy trapped in the body of a mature gentleman, lol. I live in Northern California,in the Sierra Foothills, the gold discovery area. I'm retired(worked as a Locomotive Engineer) and one of my passions is traveling abroad, with England being my number one choice, I love it's history. Spain and Germany are close second.When I'm home there's plenty of projects to keep my busy on my 5 acres.Home remodling to be done, classic cars to restore,etc,etc. Love spending time with my grown children and grandchildren. Love reading, history and non-fiction.
