All about the authors of this site on the subject of Toy Haulers

Hi,

     Just who the heck is Jerry Siegel and why am I writing a web site about Toy Haulers.

        I am a retired heavy equipment operator from Deschutes County in Central Oregon. My wife Denise is the Office manager for Sound Construction, Inc. I write and take care of the technical stuff for this site, while Denise is my copy editor. She minds the Ps and Qs, the stuff that I'm pretty poor at. This site would not be possible without her help. Thank You, Love!

    I've been involved with computers since the evolutionary days of the Tandy TRS-80. Don't ask. Denise and I have used one to run a small construction business and in those days I wrote my own BASIC code as there were no construction programs available. What little was to be found we downloaded from private BBSs. Later as the Internet came of age we puttered with it mostly as a hobby.

    Soon we added software to make life easier around the house. Actually it did not help, but it was more fun than messing with paper. E-mail, online banking, and Internet shopping soon followed.

    Unbeknownst to us we were rapidly become geeks. Friends started asking for help with their computers, which we gladly did. Most of our knowledge has come by old fashioned trial and error. But after working with many "support techs" it is obvious that trial and error is an acceptable path to knowledge.

    Our own inventory of geeky computer stuff has grown to include five active computers on our wireless network in Bend, Oregon. One is devoted solely to serving a web-cam image to our personal home page. We have a computerized weather station, that saves looking out the window to check on the weather, sheeesh!

    My interests are wide and varied. I'm a Private Pilot, and Ultralight Flight Instructor. I've owned dirt bikes and a sports car or two. Working with wood and epoxy, I've crafted two beautiful wood-strip watercraft; a canoe and a kayak. Last year I built a Landsailer from scratch, man what a hoot that turned out to be.

    Our current inventory of toys also includes motorized bicycles, a Honda Magna motorcycle, the  landsailer, two ATVs and assorted kites. This is where the Toy Hauler entered our lives. Now we can mixed and match toys to what ever tickles our fancy for a quick getaway weekend trip.

    With retirement just a few years away I began looking into expanding our online ventures. But how could we combine our real world hobbies with our cyberspace lives?

    After considerable trekking through cyberspace I came across the SiteSell web site. It is proving the perfect tool for creating this Toy Hauler web site. The rest, as they say, is history.

I hope you find your visit valuable and perhaps just a little entertaining. We'd love to hear from you. In the meantime remember:

Growing Old Is Mandatory-- Growing Up Is Not!!

Your Hosts, Jerry and Denise
