Music is a hobby imo. From listening, altering, to making it, i think it's a hobby.
got some pics of your metal art? those are always cool to see.

Why thank you!!
I get a kick out of it!!
My older brother started this group over 12 years ago and I only got interested in it (aka had more time and no more nagging wife) a few years ago.
It is a blast to join up with hundreds of other like-minded individuals and spend 3 or 4 days living the life of 18th century soldiers, doing the drills, fighting in mock battles, etc...
My best experience so far has been at GEII in Detroit, MI. Have a look at the link below for pictures of the event.
Cheers!!

Being the car guy I am,it's hard pressed to find me doing anything else non-automotive related.
I used to be an avid mountian biker,and I still would be if I didn't have to sell my bike. I'd like to pick up another bike,but I know I'd be spending almost $2000 on a bike,and that's some hard cash I could be putting into my truck instead.
I'm also big into hockey as well. I don't follow the NHL as much as I used to,but I love playing hockey whether on the street or on the ice.
I also love indoor Go Kart racing. We have a fantastic track just outside Toronto called Formula Kartways and it's a 1/4 mile street course. The karts are pretty fast and it's such a rush. I used to go quite often,but it got expensive,and I haven't been for a while. Occasionally they hold 300 Lap Endurance races that last about 3 hours,and you can have a crew of 2 to 6 drivers,and the entrance fee is like $200. I've competed in 3 of those,and in our first race,we started dead last (14th) and finished 4th after making a crappy final pitstop while running in 3rd place. I absolutely love the kart racing and is something I would be interested in pursuing a little more if I had the money. It felt great finishing in the top 5 in every kart race we did,because I had crews made up of 18-21 year olds,and we were the youngest racers there. All our competitors were guys in their mid 20s to mid 40s and man,were they ever hostile towards us. I think that's what kept bringing us back each time,to PWN them. The last race I did,we finished in 5th,and our two others were 4th. At times we were in the lead,or running in the top 3. I also had a little more experiences than my friends on my team,so they were kind of what hindered our finishes. I knew the track line better than them,and just overall had more track time. If I was able to do an entire race on my own,I would kick ass.

Bowling is always a good time!
When me and my friends,go,since you can only have 3 letters for your name on the screen above the lane,we put in names like "POO,ASS and SEX". We got that idea from the Simpsons years ago,lol. It's funny when you get a strike and the screen comes up with a big X and says "POO" haha :p
lame,I know...silly country boys.
