Hi Everybody
My name is Jack Sceva, I'm a 78 year old retired government geologist. My wife and I live near Stanwood, WA about forty miles north of Seattle. I started as a USGS Geologist in 1948, later working for the State of Oregon, then twenty years with EPA and one of it's ancestral agencies. I'm interested in many things, but geology, the Solar System and the Universe have my greatest interest. I just found this site and enjoy it very much.
Jack

welcome to the forum Jack! it seems we have similar interests! cool, what did you do for the USGS ?

Welcoms SaturnsRocker. You are amongst friends here.

I play trumpet too; used to play French Horn but I didn't like what you do with your right hand up th bell lol . I'm Principal Trumpet in the Coffs Harbour City Orchestra and my wife plays flute.

What trumpet mouthpiece do you use? I use a Vincent Bach 7C - have tried all sorts of others but have gravitated back to this and am sticking with it.

My horn is a Yamaha James Morrison Special. I did have a Getzen Jupiter but I gave it to my daughter Krystine when she went pro. Beaut horn - very solid.

Are you into classical or jazz? Improvise?

One of the Moderators plays piano - Kashi is his non de plume. He'l no doubt talk to you later.

Anyway - this is all about space, not music.

Cheers

this damienpaul plays the flute also...don't laugh, but i do, and plan to take up violin sometime soon, welcome to the forum saturnsrocker and tiny

I play clarinet, oboe, bells, a little sax and keyboard. But I really excell at sound engineering. I've worked with a lot of performing bands (R&R, Blues, Jazz) and I've done a little recording engineering, too.

Hello everybody I have been a "space nut" my whole life of 4.5 decades, and ran across the newsletter and this forum recently. I have enjoyed the news letter and referred it on to some of my friends. I'n ot sure how active I'll be here, as I belong to several Geocaching groups, most notably http://www.mi-geocaching.org
But I am looking forward to chatting and getting to know some people here. Thx!

What's "geocaching"?
(I've lived a very protected life)

Geocaching is a high tech Treausre Hunt being done in about 180 countries in this world. It involves using a GPS'r (Global Positioning Satellite Reciever), and a website. You can buy a perfectly fine gps'r for aprox $150.00 and up, and the main website we all use is: www.geocaching.com You look for posted "caches" on the website in your locale (and there will be some), then use the gps'r to actually find the cache. When you have found the cche, you sign a logbook, maybe swap trinkets, and then head for the next one. When you get home, you can post your adventure on that cache's page B)
It is deceptively simple, and can be as fun or as challenging as you want to make it. there are also many state wide, or regional groups that have sprung up to promote the sport. Since I live in MI, I belong www.mi-geocaching.org You can check to see what group may be the nearest to you from the main geocaching site. Happy trails!!
