Howdy, my name is Mick.Welcome to my personal contribution to cyberspace. You can learn a bit more about me by wandering around this website. That's me on the left with my Sweetie, Susan. And that's also me below on both the right and the left of this page.
I am now (Septempber of 2009) an MCTS (MS Certified Techonolgy Specialist in Server 2008. I'm also A+, Network+ and Security+ certified by CompTIA. The other certification which I was glad to be able to get was CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker). Helps me keep the hackers at bay and is also very good when searching for a job, which I just started doing.
I recently finished retraining after a shoulder injury in January 0f 2007 and then a couple years of vocational as well as physical rehab. The physical rehab on the shoulder was all but finished when I lost my left leg, above knee, (November 2007) due to plaque buildup from smoking for 30 years. I got back on my foot (pun intended) and had started retraining at New Horizons Computer Learning Center in Reno when I had more issues, this time with the right leg which was also amputated above the knee. Same issue as before, blocked arteries from plaque buildup and blod clots.

The Feather River Canyon Ride (10/30/2009)
One of my favorite sections of road is usually fairly invigorating to the visual senses this time of year. The dogwood and oaks are all turning colors as are the Aspen and other non-evergreens that line the banks of the Feather River as it winds it’s way to the Sacramento Valley. The stretch of highway betweeen Indian Valley and Jarbo Gap was one of my favorite stretches of road to ride. Here’s some good video that shows quite a few nice sections as you wind yourself up from Oroville Lake up through the Feather River canyon into Plumas County, aka God’s Country.
