I've thrown myself 100% into my career for too long and am looking to restore some balance. After 10 years of travel and seeking the next tough thing, I'm looking to reestablish a normal life. I'm not looking to give up all adventure, but I want to make it an accent instead of the purpose. I'm hoping to find someone who I can enjoy the quiet times with and who might be interested in joining me during the more exciting ones.
I'm newly back to the single scene and have two beautiful girls who I see as often as possible and one cat who I see all too often.
I enjoy the outdoors and traveling by motorcycle. My free time is spent reading, working on my grad degree, and tinkering with anything from classic bikes to homemade turbines. I enjoy getting out but a quiet pub or live music in a small venue is more my style than a crowded club.

BTW I'm not sure how the icons on the "personality" tab are generated but I am NOT a sex crazed ultra-conservative!

I'm currently working on a MS in industrial engineering, putting together a manuscript, and restoring an old International Scout convertible. I'm new to Albuquerque (but have been in NM for 3 yrs) and am starting a new and far cooler job in a couple of weeks.

I'm a solid writer (my first piece was published this summer), an excellent mechanic, a fair-to-good rock climber, and a decent judge of wine.

You'll have to let me know for sure, but my friends say I have a distinctive walk [???].

I love anything by Heinlein (but I like some Ambrose too). Cool Hand Luke and Snatch (actually most Guy Ritchie films) are my favorite films. I'm partial to almost any music but I really like 90's Ska and Punk (ala Sublime) as well any sound I can get out of my banjo [everyone plays the guitar]. I've developed a taste for good Mexican / Southwestern cuisine but also love fresh seafood (especially in Seattle).

School, work, the girls, what's next

a bicycle ride, dinner at a vineyard, a hike in the Gilas, or a motorcycle tour of San Francisco sound fun to you. I'd love to hear about it.
