“Sometimes my head is in the clouds and my view is phenomenal; then somehow a bug splats on my windshield at more than a mile high, and I wonder, ‘What in the world is a bug doing at this altitude?’”
What has been your favorite project as DBR?
All of them. No project is ever as “straight-foward” as I think it will be, making them all interesting.
How did you get started with your activity/hobby? What do you enjoy about this activity/hobby?
I was raised flying planes, rebuilding cars, and building and renovating houses. I never had any formal schooling, with exception to needing a pilot’s license, to do any of these hobbies, so they all feel natural and unforced.
