(At about 55 seconds in, I'm the rotund fellow walking out the door in the background.)

I help organize that event, held every mid-July. We get about 100-150 people coming to run live steam trains.

I also edit the hobby's magazine, but that's a job, not a hobby ;-) ...

 The land in the pictures is breathtaking! Looks a hell of a lot better then the sagebrush and oil derricks here.

Not sure which picture you are referring to, but that is one thing that I love about Idaho, There is beautiful country everywhere, with temps in the 100s in the summer and sub zeros in the winter. I could do without the sub zero these days. The older I get the less I like the cold!!!

Hmm...since it did not bring the pic with it my first post made no sense.

So my other hobby is anything out on the lake, but mostly wake boarding, skiing, barefooting.

I also enjoy software development, video games, learning more about electronics, and wood working.

Used to be that way too. I used to tournment ski. We had a Ski Nautique (that I really miss), but 2 shoulder surgeries and I had to give that up. Too many face plants barefooting (those really hurt)!  and driving for a wake boarder is a boat drivers worst nightmare! 

I really do miss those days!

I was a pyrotechnician and made various devices like drivers for wheels (and the wheels themselves) comets, and shells.
1st picture is the first shoot of the Northwest Pyrotechnic Arts Assoc. club that we formed in 2004 with Mount Rainier in the background.

2nd is a Caprice wheel with 10 drivers.

Most of the speeders, it turns out, are Brits (both actual people from the United Kingdom and North Americans who model Brit engines) ... they love to run their trains too fast.

Most of my peeps work hard at making their engines go prototypically slow ... now that's difficult (also easier on the old bones when you're chasing on foot).
