Retired in '94, widowed in '99. Worked as a Telcom Tech, Commercial Pilot and apple farmer. No longer do any of those. Still live in a 3000 sq. ft. home on my 10 acres (now pasture), that I built myself. (43), g-(26), g-(16) that live in Kansas, by a previous marriage and we are not real close. Infrequent visits, mostly email contact. I am financially comfortable but , not super wealthy. I watch my spending but enjoy trips to Vegas, Reno, Laughlin where I splurge. I have been known to drop a few dollars at the local casinos in Wenatchee! I enjoy low-impact activities because of health reas but use to be very active. Interests include aviation, electronics (computers), photography, gardening, puttering in my shop, home maintenance, TV and loafing on my deck enjoying my knock-out view. Light travel to fun places.....concerts in Seattle, etc. Have wintered in Arizona in a motorhome. Haven't done that for several years because of lack of a suitable travel partner. Wanna spend the winter months prowling the Southwest? I am looking for that soul mate to make my days & nights more fulfilling. I'm advertising on this site because I do not wish to pair up with someone who is not financially secure. You must be clean in per and surroundings. I still smoke and drink moderately. Hope you can handle that. If you can't survive without daily contact with s/g-s, we would not be compatible. Most of my family are deceased and I am pretty much alone....prefer that you be close to the same. If you live within an hours drive of Wenatchee that would be an BIG +. I don't cook or like to at all. I am not a full member of this site but will consider joining if someone who looks promising, responds. Let me hear from you!
