Thanks Scott, it was for my nephews first birthday, now he likes trains so I am making him a a train set. Scott, the mane,tail and reins are countersunk into the body. It took awhile but the end result was well worth it. We also make pens and furniture. Here he is trying it out.

I took some culinary classes in highschool and interned at a 5 Star Hotel/Restaurant (Garden City Hotel in New York). So yeah you can say i do enjoy cooking/using what i learned.

I have also been known as a video gamer, I like to say i was born with a controller in my hand (born during the Nintendo era). So yes, I enjoy taking to my Xbox when I'm not here :xyxthumbs:

I can make the best cinnamon roll you've ever tasted :hungry:

I too suffer from a video game addiction. I have to keep the console locked in a closet only to be brought out on special occasions. Its nothing for me to sit and play 16 hours straight

Warmest Regards,

I just got into detailing so am an addicted. But otherwise I fish Bass Tournaments, target shoot to practice shooting better for trialing my pointing dogs, those little quail are hard to hit! I train my own dogs and other people's dogs...ride horses, Reiners-the ones that spin and slid stop and chase cows in competetions. Plus just found out my German Shorthair loves to retrieve out of the water so have been training him for Doc Dog competitions..My days are full!

[jpegs13]

Golf and travel....oh yea and my 5 kids

 

[Tiffanator]

Um... lets see... I've been wakeboarding for about 14 years so I guess that qualifies. I love anything motorcycle, building them, restoring them, painting them, trackdays, dirt trails, even regular maintenance is relaxing when I'm not spilling hot oil all over my arm.
Another hobby is running/fitness in general. I'm currently training for my first half marathon in November, after that a half marathon next February then some sprint triathlons hopefully.
I'm also painting a speaker box for a friend, just finished painting my personal bike, only took me 8 months because I was painting bikes/PWCs for other people. I even clearcoated a decorative gourd for my mother.

My hobbies (outside of detailing of course)
*Soccer: I run a coed over 21 indoor soccer team. I love it although I play poorly. We have one our division once and went from worst to first in a period of two years. Not bad for a team whose median age is about 40.
*Shooting: Let me preface this, this was a requirement for me for many years professionally (former LEO and Industrial Security). However, this is a skill that anyone can constantly improve on.
*Skiing: I love that my daughter has really taken to this activity. She and I ski together and it is a great bonding experience.
*Traveling: I used to work for the airlines and was fortunate enough to travel extensively. Not so much anymore, but the wonderlust is still there.
*Finally, more importantly I try to spend an much time as I can with my twin girls. I try to take them to different activities. (last week was rock climbing courtesy of Bass Pro Shops). I try to impart my experiences and hopefully foster a desire for them to try new things. I vowed to be an active father when they were born and can hopefully instill a sense of confidence in my children.

 

[mtnbiker]

Road bike, Mountain bike

My beautiful grand daughter, 4 yrs old. We go hiking, Spend time together, taking her to Fitness University put on by a local running club for 3 to 13 yr olds.

 

[fancyfootwork]

I also love cooking and tend to know a lot about food. Worked in a grocery store for 7+ years. Been watching Food Network, and cooking shows on PBS for the past decade.

Detailing is my other hobby

My 2 big things are motorsports and shooting though. Both primarily at school, but motorsports stays with me over the summer.

I race at various SCCA held autocrosses primarily. Up until now I've done it all in my street car...a '95 Integra I brought back from the dead (3 decent accidents. One before I got it) and built (LS turbo + suspension overhaul)...from this:

to this:

A shot from last year

Fortunately since it is my daily driver as well, it's taking a back seat in the racing career and I'll now be racing a mid 80's F440 car that I pulled the old snowmobile engine and cvt from and stuck in a 750cc V4 and 5 sp. trans from an old honda interceptor in.

Outside of that, I'll be captain this year of the NCAA shooting team at Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech. We shoot 10m international precision air rifle and 50' 3 position smallbore. I'm also VP of the motorsports team at school where we get school funding to autox our '85 RX7, the pride and joy '72 porsche 914, and drag race our '87 foxbody.
