Post a pic of you and your other hobbys

[Lil' Sparky]

I'm in the yellow jacket and my bikes the maroon zx-11. This was a 5 day trip in SW Colorado. This pic is looking over the black canyon on the road up to Crawford.

Boy, I'm out of shape for this stuff!

Me with the kids and one of their friends. I like to snow board better, but I was on skis while they were little and poleless. Gotta lug them up the hills, ya know.

It was a small guy...three years back...my 2nd time out (ever), 2nd kill. Small, but tasty as hell. You know, when you just start, and you're looking for venison, you'll shoot a small buck. Wouldn't do the same thing today, but like I said...great meat.

Holy Crap! Did you shoot him with a Bazooka or something? You blew off one of his damn legs! :cross:

Jesus, dude, that's littler than my puppy dog!

My first shot hit him in the hind quarters , so we cut it off and gave it to the dog after we field dressed him.

Like I said, my 2nd time out. I was a little...eager, shall we say? My first outing actually netted a really good sized doe.

This past year I finally got a "real" buck. I'm in it for the meat, rather than to kill furry animals for fun. If I had pics of my largers kills, I'd post 'em. Maybe this year...

Out of morbid curiosity, how much did he weight? Ninety pounds?

Never did put him on the scale.

Ok, you asked for it! Some of you have seen these pictures before but these are some of my hobbies. My hockey picture is in my gallery (my whole team, not just me). My hobbies are travel, fishing, hunting, playing hockey, paddling, etc. but I'm usually the one taking the pictures!

Too embarrassed, eh?

 

[Evan!]

A couple years back, we bought our first house. The night we closed on the mortgage, we ripped out the kitchen. Renovating the house is a hobby of sorts. This is me, in the weeks following closing...a wonder-bar and hammer in one hand, and some Blanc de Blanc in the other. And if I look a bit...pissed, well...let's just say that we really busted our asses those first few weeks trying to make the kitchen usable. And as fun as demolition may be, you do get tired after too many nights spent working till midnight.

 

[Evan!]

Too embarrassed, eh?

I'm no trophy hunter. I was out there to score some backstraps. And small as they were, those backstraps were some of the best meat you'll come across.

No, not embarrassed, we just don't have a deer scale.

So, for paddling do you like giving or receiving?

The first Harley ever built.....

Great photo!

[PseudoChef]

Mmmmm....nuclear magnetic resonance...


EDIT: No food pics right now, sorry.

 

[Cheesefood]

Hmmm.... where can I find a picture of the_bird's mom?

I renovated and sold my rental properties and I unfortunately demonstrated competance to SWMBO. So now I'm into extreme home renovations. I have multiple projects on the go, but I don't mind so much. SWMBO is happy and our house is going to be very nice when I'm done.

Part of the deal was that I get to build myself a new bar. The wall straight ahead in the picture used to be a single bay window and the wall on the left was completely solid. I had to rip out both walls and rebuild them to get the windows that I wanted. I also built a deck that you can access through a door on the right hand side of the room. Here we're in the process of laying the wood floor. It's some nice knotty pine that will be perfect for a bar floor. The pool table goes in the low area and the bar and table go on the walkway.

Thanks. I work for Horny Toad Harley Davidson. Been working for Harley dealerships since '97. I have a degree in Agronomy-Turf Management from Texas A&M. They don't a/c golf courses well, and Harleys are more fun than golf carts.

 

[JoeRags]

Cars... (the vette is mine... porsche is my buddies)

And TUNA!!!!!!

 

[Fingers]

I wanna party with YOU, JoeRags!

You calling me a little woman, Ollllo?

We'd be lucky to get his cast-offs.

I like to play with guitars. I'm mostly a bass player, but mess around with other vintage stuff too.

 

[sudsmonkey]

Never seen a Telecaster with an F- hole. Enlighten me?

 

[the art guy]

Tele Thinline - semi-hollow body. Originally made from the late '60s through late '70s. Mine's a reissue from the mid '90s. Sweet guitar.

 

[Alamo_Beer]

Besides brewing....I like drinking....

(Ok somebody had to do it!)

Cool! Does a semi- hollow body sound more like a hollow body or solid? Used to have a hollow body Birdland copy. Feedback was an issue. The upside was that you could sing into the pickups.
Now have a Telecaster copy built up out of a Squier Bullet neck and a tele body that a friend of mine made out of a hunk of cedar. The guy is a bassplayer, but set this guitar up with the touch of a surgeon. It's a real pleasure to play it.

 

[the art guy]

Plays more like a solid-body. Some might tell you there's a significant tonal difference, but to me it mainly sounds like a Telecaster.

I'm working on a couple project Teles also - once the bug bites you, you can't stop collecting parts and putting them together....

I forgot to mention that I also collect Harley T-shirts,(hint,hint)!!!

Cool deal, I'll have to get you a line on a Big Moose H-D shirt from Maine.
I worked at an H-D dealership in NC in 94/95, after completing the full MMI curriculum. I then had a custom aftermarket shop which I closed in 2001. I have a bachelor's in M.E., and got my foot in the door with John Deere company, and now I'm a field rep for them. I was just curious if you might have been a field rep for H-D -- it's something I've thought I'd enjoy and perhaps consider down the road. Actually, I just saw that H-D has a field rep opening for NY, but I know we can't move from here since we just moved here last summer.
I guess the above is off- topic, but Harley's are still my hobby, but to a lesser extent than they used to be. Wish I had more space, I'd be adding some bikes to the stable!
