fini Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 * - I have a toddler and preschooler,they run on love, time, & money Ha! Try having two teenage daughters. Generally, they want less time, but WAY more money. Just as much love, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Speedball Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 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...[] 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.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" 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.

Combat_SAMBO_Guy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The conversion went realy well, and then I traded the HII->HIII's for a 1996 pair of Forte II's, which are trily amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_SAMBO_Guy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplummer Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 What does ***** taste like ? I recently got back into photography but mainly just 3D photography with a Stero Realist. It blows away digital IMO. One day I will have a medium format 3D camera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereo_Realist Usually has a Hint of Rail Road Tie.
