| | I play golf and I love it, but hunting and fly fishing are my passion away from the golf course. I was a hiker for years but the knees won't allow that any longer. Now a good 4x4 to get me to my favorite fly fishing stream and I'm happy. Besides, what could be better than being out in the middle of nowhere, wading in a fly fishing stream and having my favorite S&W in my favorite shoulder holster. Hell I would give up golf if I could do that everyday. |

| | My HOT wife and our 2007 Nissan Titan crew cab.  It only has 30K miles on it, has FlowMaster '50-series' pipes, a K&N cold air induction system and performance chip....and it STILL gets 22mpgs! Now if only I could find a 'vette to race. My SIL's 2006 Mustang GT can't touch it.
Other 'interests' include Jeeps (my '98 Wrangler is a daily driver and has 239K miles onits 4-banger), knives (making and collecting), primitive camping and hiking. I'm also a 'prepper'. |

| | I loved playing guitars and had for a long time. I'm afraid that my age and my disabilities are taking a toll and my memory's no better. I only can remember a few song including four of my own that I sound like one album over and over.
It's getting a bit boring and no desire to learn anything new. I have a nice guitar and amp I won't part with. The rest are being sold off.
I guess my computer is my passion now. Internet, games, movies and music makes my days go by.

| | I am into endurance cycling. I have this weird need to push my limits. I would like to find a way to mount a pellet pistol on my bike for dogs or rednecks who like to drive close simply to scare you. But that is my thing.
My son is big into Mustangs. He currently has a 1996 3.8 that he is fixing up. I enjoy helping him with it but ultimately it is his deal. |

| | I enjoy playing golf (I assemble my own clubs) and fly fishing (I tie flies too) every chance I get. I build and repair computers for fun. now the 40VE is a work in progress. I believe that it adds something to the work you do when the tools you use feel good in your hands. either through making, fixing or modifying that tool.

| | Motorcycles, mostly dirt bikes, dual sports and sport touring bikes. For me, no Harleys; I have yet to ride one that does any of the things well that I think a motorcycle should do. For years, I rode mostly BMWs, Guzzis and Triumphs, and did a lot of road touring. More recently I have been riding more off pavement, Mexico, Western U.S., and a lot of exploratory riding in MN, WI, IA and SD.
English 3-speed bicycles, Raleigh, Hercules, Triumph, and a couple of older internal-hub Bianchis.
Dogs. I have three right now, a boxer/lab and a couple of Aussies.
Good books, especially crime fiction. |

| | Photography and cars. Out of my 30 or so cameras, only 4 are digital. and the rest are 35mm film cameras along with one 645 which is close to twice the width and height of a 35mm negative. To me, digital has taken some of the fun out of shooting pictures. Sure in the darkroom with film people would burn and shade with their projectors but you still had to compose the photo and worry about lighting, etc. With digital, it seems to have promoted the same thing that high capacity magazines did for a while, spray and pray. Where before you might have shot two or three 36 exposure rolls of film, people now shoot hundreds if not thousands of exposures using the "even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then" method. Shoot a thousand pictures and hope there's a couple of good ones in the bunch. Then process it through an image manipulation program. Yes I do shoot digital also but almost always on manual making the aperture and shutter speed adjustments myself, rarely using post processing.
And as for cars, I'm not talking about some glue together little plastic toy with a hypercharged rice burning aluminum sewing machine motor. I'm talking about pre '72 muscle cars, specifically Chrysler products. I don't have one right now but my cousin has a project in mind to build. He picked up another 440 the other day (he already had three) and wants to drop it in a '68 Dart. I'm trying to convince him that a '70 Duster would have a little more room under the hood and better weight transfer to the rear wheels. Wish I could find someone with a '70 Hemi Cuda that didn't know what they had. Quote:
