Meet a science brained, extremely curious lover of all things natural...and man made. My most active interest presently is astronomy and astro photography. I"m a very handy semi retired general contractor, cabinet maker, woodworker, as well as a decent mechanic. Love to repair things, rather than throw them away. Not a very big sports fan. Broad range of friends. Atheist, with slightly left of center political leanings.Interested in a life partner equally curious about the world and universe. Both time and emotional availability are important for me.....not talking about smothering, but close shared friendship.I would much prefer spending a winter afternoon on a beach observing all that nature has to offer, than going to a mall. And if it"s warm, I want to be on the water, not looking at it. Love boating and fishing.Looking for a mature, kind, sharing woman 50 to 70 to share quiet times, star gazing, time on the water, mutual respect, and companionship.I"ll be honest as the header says. I"m battling chronic Lyme Disease, so everything is not roses. After two years of treatment, most of the physiological problems are resolved and I am left with the neurological issues such as memory, sense of time, and confusion. Improving day by day.
