I'll probably do a lot of lurking & reading and not much posting here, and some day I might go for a K5 and a couple of lenses......
I'm a retired professional fire fighter, work part time in the HVAC field, and continue my passion for fire fighting with a volunteer company in my home town. I also ride a Harley, do some saltwater fishing, surfing, and have been known to pick up a guitar from time to time....
With all those hobbies you have they alone would be a damn good reason to get yourself a Pentax K-5 and a few suitable lenses to get shots of what you do and what you have.
