Jon's Story

web site jheld.mysite.com Sign guestbook there. Signing the guestbook on here is worthless, if your not a paid member you can't see who signed and what they said, and I'm not a paid member, that's how I afford to do everything else I do and not work for years at a time. Goto world wide web .jheld.mysite.com and sign up there. Thanks. I live on and own 20 acres, 10 miles north of Manhattan, Kansas, near Tuttle creek lake. I enjoy anything outdoors, scuba, bicycling, camping, walks, windsurfing, sailing, cross country skiing, Backpacking, canoeing, and travelling. I've got a B.S in physics and a M.S. in Mech. Engg., I'm a Part time researcher at KSU, very flexible schedule. My present research involves fiberglass highway bridges. In the past I've done work on grain dust explosions and designed gloves for the NASA space suit. I've taught engineering at the University for many years. Most everything I've got is paid for now, so money is not a real problem. I can't say I've got lots, but enough. Frugal fits. Time is what is always short, and I do what I can to maximize the use of my free time. I hav...Expand for more
e owned horses, enjoyed riding when there's a purpose like herding or packing somewhere, but I'd much rather feed a motorcycle in the winter. I spent the whole summer in Alaska, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking etc. I love to dance, mostly CW (two step, waltz, western swing, polka, etc.), travel and enjoy life. I'm great with kids, I still have none and do want some. I just want, and need, to be thought of as a father. Some people think I have far too many hobbies. I can't help it they haven't learned what's important in life. Some of the more sedate things that I enjoy include watercolor painting, photography, astronomy, books, reading, learning, winemaking, telling jokes, flower and vegetable gardening, cards and games, both physical and mental, and automobile restoration. I collect all sorts of things, am interested in just about everything. I really enjoy yardsales, and other bargain hunting, and love to build and fix just about anything. I live by the golden rule and wish everybody else did. I was married for 9 years, no kids, now divorced for 12. I have always enjoyed life.
