[sdiy] re-publishing typewritten material

[Barry Klein]

I transitioned from prospecting to metal detecting.  Finding more gold at 
the beach than I did in rivers and deserts, and its 20 minutes away.
I haven't really gotten into the photomicrography other than amassing a 
collection of equipment to do it.  A guy on Kickstarter will becoming out 
with a great book to help me start out.  I hope I still get to it when I 
retire at least. I just bought two Nikon D700's that I replaced the bad card 
readers on and hope to use them if we ever get to traveling again.  They 
have a cult following for the colors the sensor gives. I've been buying 
broken lenses off ebay and repairing them, but it gets pretty frustrating 
sometimes - not a future career for me.  I fix way too many different 
things.  I don't see how others survive not being able to fix things. Door 
handle on my Suburban broke last night, jeez.
I flew hang gliders before I wrote the book and then took flying lessons 
afterwards.  I soloed but those who love flying have it dominate their lives 
and it was just one thing I was interested in and I wasn't going to keep 
current.  I had a series of things happen during that time - getting into 
IFR conditions, nose wheel shimmy on takeoff, almost flying into the Sierras 
with friends, near midairs... that I just gave it up.  Had some great times 
with friends that had a P-51.

Prospecting? Photomicrography? Pilot’s license... amazing!
