I'm curious about your current project(s), and also what are some of the things that you feel you have an unsatisfactory understanding of, and are important enough to you that they regularly (re)occur in your thoughts and musings. Also, do you have any hobbies outside of science that you regularly and passionately pursue?russ_watters said:

)I didn't join PF to teach, I joined to learn. I am fascinated with all things science and there are a lot of areas I'm weak in. I'm particularly fascinated with Relativity and I do a lot of lurking in that forum. And all things space related as well.
Well, finishing the basement and other general home improvement is my biggest time consumer. I'm also an avid golfer and skiier, but don't do as much of the skiing lately as I'd like.

.Up to you. Thanks for taking the time to reply.russ_watters said:
Enjoyed learning more about you. Especially like your statement about joining PF to learn. I think that people with a desire to continue learning turn out to be the best teachers. I share your fascination with Relativity, and also enjoy watching a good movie, and planning and making improvements in and around the house when time permits.russ_watters said:-This has been a dreary winter so except for a single good Jupiter photo, not much going on on the astrophotography front right now.
-I'm finishing my basement. Started from bare concrete and with no experience in construction, it is just about finished and I'm happy with the result.
-Professionally, I'm doing a lot with energy conservation incentives. Over the past two years, I've gotten about $1.5 million for a major pharma company and the program reboots in a couple of months, so I have a big push of applications coming. Basically, I prove the energy savings of the projects to the utility/state. And because few people ever seem to try to revisit energy conservation projects to see if they are saving money, since I'm looking I also find ones that are under-performing and try to fix them. For some of the projects, I do the actual design, so then I'm on the hook if they under-perform! (which for me, they generally don't!

Professionally, it is said that my field is not very deep, but it is very wide. So most of what I have to learn there isn't difficult, it is just a matter of gaining experience.

And I'm a big movie fan. With Netflix, its easy to pick up a classic every couple of weeks, but I'm really partial to modern movies. Though I keep watching them, it is a rare old movie that impresses me. Most are over-acted and the stories are weak. Plus, computer animation, when not overdone, has made anything and everything possible in a movie and it looks real.
