    Ahoy

    I'm a Computer Engineer, though in hindsight I probably should have been a MechE. I have too many hobbies, and have always wanted to get into metalworking. So now I am, just ordered a 164i.

    My other applicable hobbies are mountain biking, and I have a jeep. Eventually I plan to make parts for both.

    Looking forward to learning
