    I swear, spit, drink, drag race my bike against other kids, play the bass/guitar/slide guitar/kazoo, go to "school", and chase high school girls.

    When I lived in CT and had space to wrench... I tinkered with anything that caught my interest... I got into vintage bicycles... here's one, a 64 Columbia Playboy.
    [​IMG] I've got about 8-9 different bikes (mostly old Schwinns) and I sponsored a few family rides.

    Now in SLC, I eat a lot, try to find my niche, and hang out with my girl.

    Ha! I used to be an SCA member, started as an archer then became a Knight. Still have my Bow's but no armour or other gear.
    I joined an archery club to learn to shoot better and in the first three weeks of going won the club title and within 6 months a state title.
    Its easier than it looks!
    Then I put all that into use in the Army and couldn't shoot a rifle for shit at first! It sucked being a medic, I qualified for the sniper course but the pesky Geneva Convention forbade's medics from being snipers.:mad:

  15. I'm kept pretty busy translating all of Shakespear's works into Ebonics, but also like to travel. I married a lovely young lady a while back and am currently in New Orleans celebrating our 40th year together. When the snowbirds leave South Florida, we will roll on down that way for a while.

    What do you do besides work on your hot rod?

    Sounds like a question my wife would ask.

    I boat and fish 35ft. express crusier and 19ft center console. Im a pilot single engine. I play with my 81 Corvette. Im out of the country 10 or 12 times a year for work, and when I am not doing all of the above Im on the couch.
