Hi class. It's been a great 40 years and now we all look (and act) like our parents. I keep trying not to grow up but life just keeps dragging me along, one day at a time. You can usually find me hanging out on the dock or out on the water on my 56x16 Horizon Yachts houseboat "Midnight Splash." She has about 700 sq ft inside with 4 bedrooms, two baths, living room, dining room, full size kitchen, water slide, 3-ton heatpump, basically a home on the water. She has hydraulic thrusters (sideways props), wireless remote steering, sattelite tracking, and a bridge router that automatically logs itself into the dock wireless when I am in my slip. I have parties on Midnight Splash with about 60 people onboard. She carries a 15' Seadoo Jetboat on the back, plus a large list of water toys.

I collect antique boats, antique outboards, and toy outboards. I'm starting a business making scale outboards for when I retire from IBM in about 4 or 5 years. I've been a DJ for about 20 years, and I still sing. I have an extensive Karaoke collection of about 15000 songs and the whole family sings. I've been a licensed soccer coach for 15 or 16 years, and my 10 year old son is a top goalie. This year I am automating the christmas lights on my house with 96 channels of computer control and an FM transmitter for the music. I have 4 kids Stacy 27, Nikki 24, Morgan 20, and Bobby 10. I also have another "semi-son" Zach who is also 10. His father was good friend of mine, and he passed away a couple years ago. I have kept Zach with Bobby for YMCA Indian Guides, boating, and most of our family activites. I have a pair of Italian Aqua Scooters that drag you through the water at abou 5mph - - Zach and I love to take those out and investigate different areas of the shoreline when we are anchored. I really like having the kids around. It helps me keep my nickname "KidCole" in perspective. I am known as the party guy on the dock, and "kid" to most of my friends.
