hobbies...I run a small fleet of cars (6 at last count, but there could be more) used by 3 teens and my wife....I do all the dirty work...they just turn the key and drive...once in a while...I get to drive something.

 

Surprise

"Honey, who is this man who is at the table?" 

"Oh, thats James, my new assistant mechanic." 

wife: when are you going to start helping me around the house, all you ever do around here is work on the cars?

husband: if you and the kids stop driving the cars they won't need to be worked on.......like walk or take the bus once in a while.

wife: reaches for frying pan and start yelling in unknown tougnes

husband: hauls a%$ out the front door.

Ha! Try having two teenage daughters. Generally, they want less time, but WAY more money. Just as much love, though.

I've got a 4 yo princess, I'm gritting my teeth and shopping for menacing firearms and a comfy rocking chair for the front porch. I figure I'll be a good shot in 12 years. [:)]

I haven't spent much time here lately due to researching, learning and making small purchases in the new world of LED flashlights. The Klipsch Forum is my old standby...good to see some familiar names. I used to be into RC electric trucks, life size dirt bikes and four wheelers....which was my all time favorite. Now it's bicycling thanks to another forum member who posted it as his hobby a long time ago.

Oh, I'm still enjoying my Dean G'd Rf-7's and QSC almost every weekend watching movies. Still havent made a big plasma screen purchase but with the help of my 7's it's not so bad, sound CAN make a movie...[:P]

Can't forget, I'm also helping to watch over my 88 year old mom-in-law who still lives in her own house and does her own driving, shopping and Euchre card playing with the ladies around the community............... yeah, she's my hobby in a good way.[:D]

I think I finally made some progress. I added another car and for now, I wound up with the Z28. Also noticed the cars with empty gas tanks don't get driven much.

My hobbies are really simple as am I.

Combat SAMBO, Wu style Tai Chi Cuan (including Push Hands and Sabre), Freestyle Wrestling, and watching bad television and movies. I consider listening to my home theater system as a sort of hobby, but my real joy is in Chinese Marial arts, Wu style Tai Chi Chuan, Xing Yi and the exercises involved,feeling the energies as I move through time and space. Combat SAMBO is a part of me, I do it well and I love doing it. I thnk it may be the Cossak in me.

The problem is that I am the same sizes that I was in high school, and I'm 50. I have been the same height and weight for most of the time I have been walking on this earth. I have been 5'6" and 140 lbs since I was 17. The good part is that I never outgrow anythingg.

That's not a problem, that's a good thing. I'm 58 and I'm still 5'9" and 160 lbs, just like I've been since I was 16. C_S_G, I guess you eat what you need, not more, not less. That's my system, anyway. I can't change my height and I don't want to change my width.
