My name is Lee (aka TimeRider) and I live in central Minnesota, in the great plains of the United States. I literally live, in the proverbial sticks. Winter is real here too.
TimeRider is a nom de guerre that I adopted in the 90's as a computer gamer. I don't game online anymore but I still use the pseudonym for a variety of reasons. Not to mention, it suits my lifestyle.
In 2018, after three decades of municipal government work, my position was eliminated and early retirement seemed obvious. I don't fly fish so tying flies was out of the question. As a child I owned 100's of wee toy cars and trucks, so nothing is more gratifying to me than taking a beat up old diecast and making it new. Sometimes in the original form and sometimes as I see it in my mind's eye.
