    Games. As Raven knows, I was big into mechwarrior too, but have since moved on to FEAR, HalfLife and Calll of Duty. But I still dream of the next Mechwarrior release.

    Next would be all things "garage." From just changing oil and doing unnecesary (don't tell the wife) brake jobs, to wood working to gardening. If you can do it in, or stage it from a garage, I'm there. (My garage just might also have a fridge full of beers, too) I had to get rid of my 4x4 when we had our son, since it was also my daily driver. But my wife has since totally bought into the idea of an old Wrangler to go with my new minivan. So, I have that too look forward too.

    Finally, guns. Specifically, muzzleloading black powder. The only thing better than a day on the range, is a day on the range with a beginner. People come to guns with all kinds of hang ups, that is until they hit the black at fifty yards with open iron sights. Thats when the hobby sells itself. "I did that!?!" "Yes, you did." Mmmm, the smell of sulfer on a Saturday morning.

    You sound like a interesting fellow. My fridge in the garage is also always filled, I situated it so I could swing in with the rider and grab a cold one and go back to the lawn. I have been building Long Rifles from the French and Indian war, Revolutionary War and Fur Trade era for the better part of 25 years...

I have been building Long Rifles from the French and Indian war, Revolutionary War and Fur Trade era for the better part of 25 years. I built for CenterMark for a few years also. My shop is added on to my garage, and regularlly have people over to shoot the breeze and drink my beer.
    When I was a wee boy (13) my father, and neighbor would fire off guns in the field adjacent to our homes. My dad had some .22 and pistols. The neighbor however was a history buff, and concentrated on civil war long guns. I can remember him pouring his own bullets. They were HUGE. About the size of the end of a pinkie finger, must be close to 50 cal.

    I can remember them firing it, and the sound was like no other gun. He used black powder, the whole 9 yards. Pretty exciting.

    Now I live in a city. Your lucky to fire off a wategun, and not get arrested. Ah the simiple pleasures of country life!

    Like I mentioned above I've been involved with woodworking and engraving for quite some time. The reproduction of Kentucky Longrifles has been one of my hobbies for quite a long time. Ive probably built a few hundred in 25 years. Many of them French and Indian War era. I do the relief carving and metal engraving to match the period of the arm, and or what the customer wants and can afford. Other then that I too enjoy collecting signed prints and old mantle clocks. Ive had several Harleys over the years, and only have one left.. During the spring I enjoy working in the flower beds outside, dont laugh, its worth it when things bloom. I got involved with Street Luges and like nothing more then hitting 60 mph an inch off the ground. Audio is always something I've enjoyed but did'nt have the luxury of idle time to persue it, until now. I was always being yanked is this direction or that.
