Date men from United States / Alaska / Homer, 36 year old

Date someone special from Alaska, United States. What are you doing on here? It's sunny outside! Go find something to do... Ok Ok Ok, I know you always do that, just once can't you sit down and enjoy a good personal add? You love adventure, good food, and friends. Maybe you're a recovering skibum as well? I can fit in to about any crowd, from old time conservative worker bees, to annoyingly happy and overmedicated hippies. I don't particularly like either of them, but they won't know that. I would rather be outside with just a few friends and a campfire (or snow...). I often count more dogs than people around me
I prefer quality over quantity. I think makeup is funny, but purple hair is sexy. I really appreciate permaculture and gardening, dream of living close to the land with my partner and I try to be a localvore. I feel like I'm very open to expanding my horizons. I really enjoy taking it easy and teaching what I know, at least as much as I like learning. My family is awesome, even my little brother is, and I love them. I would love a kid someday, but I also think adoption is rad.
I have smart hands and I can fix anything but sewing machines and typewriters. I have a motorhead side to me that I just can't get away from. I tend to fabricate things out of metal, from furniture to architectural components to heavy equipment repairs. I'm pretty good at it, but I'm over the dirty aspect. I'm sick of fumes and dust and filth. I'm ready for it to take a back seat, and go back to just doing what I love in it, art. This year I got my commercial helicopter license and instructors certificate. I'm thinking of going back to school for a year and getting my mechanics license. I am deep in the figure-it-out stage of things...
I think I know everything and you should be smart enough to tell me why I'm wrong. I'm pretty sarcastic and I appreciate a woman with an edge and a sense of humor. I will care deeply about you and forever love doing the dishes. I don't try to change people and I expect to be loved for who I choose to be. I don't drink or puff, but some of my friends do... I like smart dogs, like mine. I have two cats, but mostly because of the mice around here, though it's debatable whether they do anything for that. One of them is the best cat I have ever met, the other one isn't.
