other hobbies?

For me, it's fishing, golf and stained glass. I refer to them as my escape to sanity.
 
My two hobbies are building model cars:

And I dabble in digital photography aside from the models:

Big-Grasshopper-4.jpg


Court-House-09.jpg


Dragonfly.jpg


Inverness-City-Hall.jpg


Water-Iris-B.jpg


Yellow-Weed-2.jpg


All of those were shot with my cheap Kodak, next camera will be a DSLR!

wow thats nice! well its hard to decide to go turbo or nitrous. But the nitrous is way cheaper than a turbo thats for sure. Anyways you on ls1tech?

Yeah the weight is the main factor, N20 would be cheaper and lighter but the turbo has almost unlimited potential, but if i build an N20 motor it'll be atleast 700 N/A. As for LS1Tech. I think I have an account there, never go on it though, I randomly post on Norcal-LSX every once and a great while.
 
Where do I start?!?

I detail full-time, usually taking only Sundays off. The afternoons I'm either running or swimming or road cycling ...or sometimes I'll do one then the other (training for a triathlon I'm doing this summer). I finally got a ski boat...again, so I've been spending my Sundays at the lake slaloming/wake-boarding (yes, here in FL I've been able to do that:awesome:) At times, if I'm not slammed, I may grab my disc bag and go play some rounds of disc golf (frisbee golf). Soon I'll be getting another engine for the jon-boat so I can start fishing again.

I dare you to find me sitting still or not doing anything. Sometimes it drives my g-f crazy :laughing:
 
Man, you guys are cooler than I thought! Some really neat hobbies going on! Im the MAN

Take it from someone who grew up around a family business, that is a SMART MOVE!

Very nice pictures! I have been thinking about picking up the 100-400, but now that I got the 70-200 2.8 IS MKII I might just go with the 2x extender MKIII for some BIF

Yeah I'm looking at either a 91mm or 98mm custom front mount, I have a buddy running a F3-R on his 572, that thing is rediculous, I used to have a 93 Cobra I found in a barn lol. Motor was junk so i went out the box and put a carbed race gas only 347 and a 250 shot on it... then my friend decided to hit a deer showing off at about 80 mph when i let him drive it back from the track..

wow i would love to find such car in a barn! it must of sucked that your friend decided to ram in into a deer! i cant wait for spring break, i dont know if you heard about an annual event called TX2K10? well this year its going to be TX2K11. it happens during the spring break! its also known as the supra nationals! and on the last day they gather at a restaurant in Katy Texas and you see nothing but 600HP+ cars! then at night they hit the interstate to race! just goes to show that i saw some evos keeping up with 900HP z06s! hopefully i can make it this year too!

Yeah I was pretty lucky, bought it for $1500, then did seam welded chassis, 347 w/ NO2(480 n/a, 736 w/NO2), T56, 9inch rear, 10 pt cage, repainted midnight blue, weld racing wheels, fuel system, etc... I'll try to find pics when I get back home. I've been to the TX2K events twice when I lived in Austin. At the time I had a Pewter Silver WS6 set up for AutoX but only put down about 430ish whp. Always had a fond love for the Supra and my next door neighbor had one so he invited me to go. If you go be sure to shoot me some pics. I've been meaning to go back to TX and visit family but i'm always either deployed or flying around with one of our jets incase they break lol.
