Hunting, shooting... Anything to do with a gun tops my list.

My old martial arts teacher told me once that all real men love metal, wether it be knifes, guns, cars.....

You may be right. I Love cars too..... Old ones. I have to fix the new ones daily, puke. Got a fully restored 68 Mustang in the garage. It looks nice sitting there, cuz thats all it does these days.

[Mr.Spooky]

not quite sure where to post this,,, so move if felt nesissary,, but whyle im on the topic of snakes,,, i have a incubator that i made that can reach any temp,,(within reason) and hold a 98% humidity (if i call for it). .
as i was feeding tonight, i looked over and thought to myself, self, heres a perfect atmosphere that i can completeally control, so since there aint no eggs,,,, why not ferment?????? i just turned it on, so the temp hasent reached the set temp.(85*) but it will in about 20 min........
this is perfect.

That's a cool unit Mr Spooky. I saw something very similar once in a restaurant that made it's own cured meats. It had similar type of controls from what I gather and all the cured meat looked real pretty aging behind the glass.

pretty damn cool spooky... I like that

[Mr.Spooky]

thanks,,, im up to about 81* now.
this was a beverage cooler that i bought (about 150$) that the compressor was busted. i dident need the compressor anyway, so i hooked up a thermostat to (50$or so ), made a false back with styrofoam (free) some flexwatt (maby 20$) and done.. its up to me to what the temp and humidity is set at. the fans still worked in the cooler, so thats how i can adjust the humidity. thou i dont think that the humidity will really matter. it even comes with a lite.

id like to see the dragonfly in action!
spook

[cob]

mr. spooky, i got the dragonfly from an airline pilot who said he never could fly it (he had several heli's) i can fly it a little its real tricky. my 5 year old granddaughter fly's it pretty good. "this is how you do it grampa" i have a couple heli's smaller than the yellow one that she fly's pretty well also. and i'm decent at too. http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=BtM3oaUj5XQ&feature=fvsr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow we fly without the tail. every time i watch this guy i wonder how many he crashed to get this good http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=gi7G-VzU2r4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow . my heli's are electric so you won't hear me checking your attire. . cob

[Mr.Spooky]

thats bad ass!!!!! i like the dragonfly,,,, but as far as the heli,,,, that would probabally be the fastest grand that i would wreck in about 5 seconds.

are you feeling a breeze? cob

edit; ya gotta learn to drive first, (where ya heard that before) and when your there all zen and stuff, it's not a grand or two it's qubic dollars

[hoody]

Nice kingi there kiwi!
I'm heavily into motorsport (all though having a break this year since my daughter was born). Also keep tropical fish, and try get out fishing as often as I can.

Can I borrow your foil hat? I guess it is more of a passion, I graduated diesel college and thought I wanted to do it for a living, ended up a hobby. If I made a living under the hood of a diesel it would probably be a different story. Mud

[goinbroke2]

I thought I posted here already...maybe another thread about hobbies?

Anyway, besides stillin' I am hard core into dragracing, building cars/engines for myself and others (I have a 900hp street mustang showing up this weekend for cage work). Build/play with mud trucks,4 wheelers, got a cottage and paddle boats etc, do some work for stock car guys around here (I got out of stock cars but enjoyed it) Play guitar,fiddle,organ,drums.

I don't know, basically anything that involves manual dexterity. Oh, I enjoy cooking/bbqing etc too.

As far as diesels, I am in the vehicle tech in the army. My specialty is leopard tanks so yes I'm a "diesel tech" too. I LOVE diesels and my daily driver is a 4 door one ton 7.3 diesel. 175hp and pulls the car trailer/slide in camper etc no problem. (and yet the newer trucks are 400hp/800lb's tq???)

One funny thing is I don't like bikes at all. even as a kid I preferred building dune buggies out of old vw's. Actually more of a...mmm...HATE thing I guess/ 2 strokes screaming just curdles my blood. At the dragstrip I plug my ears and walk away when a bike runs. My friends daughter runs a 10 second sled and that's a bit annoying too, whatever.
Love v-8's

[Mud Mechanik]

goingbroke, hang on to that 7.3, it's a keeper. I was also a diesel and aviation tech. in the army many years ago. Mud

Just keep coolant conditioner in her so she doesn't get the holes burned through the cylinders, cost a fortune to resleeve one of those 7.3 liter cornbinders...


Hobbies..... What hasn't been said by someone else,,,
I shoot competative archery, unlimited freestyle NFAA.
I play guitar, have a strat, a tele, an Ibenez hallowbody and a few cheaper makes..
Worked as a crewchief for a superstock racecar (2 championships)
Worked as an automotive enginebuilder for 20 years.
Now fix cars for a living, state and ASE certified
Built a large outdoor smokehouse and smoke meats and fish for my friends and family.
Hunting is a huge passion.
Rode dirtbikes for years but quit when it started taking to long to recover.
Still ride ATVs.

It's a wonder any of us find time for stillin' or typing on the net with all the other stuff we have going on!!

I've had a few hobbies over the decades, flying gliders, beer brewing and wine making, getting married several times, longish distance running (100 miles a week), Aikido (1st kyu), getting divorced several times, cross cpountry skiing, skydiving, glider flying and maintenance again, gardening, now distilling and occaisional flying when I can bum a flight, pouring shit on big bouncers (not a wise move, but when you're an old bastard you can get away with a fair bit - especially when you have your fire fighter mates with you.

You can see the adolescence madness slowing to adult wisdom - apart from the bouncer pricks - over the years, now I've even given away gardening, but I still love fooling bouncers with logic.

You may have picked up on a tendency to chase women, but you can also see that eventually I realised that that is more dangerous than any of the other pursuits.

pouring shit on big bouncers

i thought for a minute you were refering to the nice pair at the wet-shirt contest, then realised i have also met the short neck gorilla wanting to pass you through the window at the speed of sound. cob

[Dnderhead]

i do about anything like to make "stuff" does not mater.iv had jobs as welder,machinist ,mechanic,truck driver.fabricator.
on my own , took up flying, wood working, gardening, cooking especially baking.as you git older you need to
lower your standards, make my own recipes ,like pineapple/cherry bread. if i could turn the clock back id be flying.
love the small plains.

[loneswinger]

I forgot to mention that I used to be really into paragliding. I still have my equipment but have not been up in the air in since I got married about 3 years ago. Man does that sound like fun right now. Not a good time of year for thermals around here but steady winds on upslopes are good enough for me.

-Loneswinger

[blanikdog]

Paragliding is one thing that I would love to do before I die. I'm jealous as bugry loneswinger.

[Mr.Spooky]

i would love to do that myself. but after 3 years,,,,,, i would do a real good go through on my equiptment.
LOL this is something i would do/ get straped in, run real hard, chin in the wind, as my feet break the edge of the earth,, i look up and damn,,,,,,, the mice has ate holes in my gliderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[MuleKicker]

i see flying mentioned a bit here. My grandpa had 2 planes when i was a kid, my dad took lessons and i flew with him quite a bit. then dad got grounded for health reasons. always said i wanted to learn even had my dads instructor tell me he would teach me for free just to get time in the plane. it was a piper supercub. just a 2 seater but hell of a lot of fun. i was a dumb kid with to much on my mind. never took him up on it. What an oprotunity, and i screwed it up.

[Mr.Spooky]

iv never been off the ground...... well in a plane or heli .... i would love too but now,,, i dont trust no one,,,, and even if i did, the only one i would get in is one of those small ones. that way if something was to go wrong, id just get them to BUZZ me over the water somewhere and let me take my own chances.
