What other hobbies or passions do you have.

Skiing - Winter
Cycling - Summer
Scotch - All Year

BudgetHT - The AC 50 is a very nice ski. One of my friends is on those this year. I ski on Nordica Hod Rods at the resorts and use a set of Dynastar Big Troubles with Fritschi Freerides for backcountry.

I used to bowl a lot, but gave that up because it was killing my shoulder.
I used to play pool 7 days a week. Even have made a good chunk of change in tournaments over the years. Still have a table at home, but don't get to play much. Was tired of the league. Being a Division Rep was a pain with everyone coming to me with their complaints. After a while, it wasn't fun anymore.
I used to drive motorcycles. Drove "em all and owned many. My last was a Harley Low Rider. It got sold to pay for upgrades to the house we were building in 06 (but half the cash went to HT systems).
Right now my hobbies are, learning how to be a new dad, home improvements, busting my butt at work, HT, and video games.

BudgetHT - The AC 50 is a very nice ski.

I hope to find out soon.
I bought them on the recommendation of my friend. He's a Volkl nut. The guy has two pairs of the AC 50, and Race Tigers, and a bunch of the old P40 he uses for rockers.

cars, trucks and motorcycles...pretty much anything you on wheels.
Guns
PC games
Running
Collecting knives (I've been slacking)

I was heavily into rockcrawling/off-roading and modifying suspensions but that just got too expensive breaking stuff all the time.

 

[NicolasKL]

Nice. Is that your boat or was it a charter?

Friends boat. One friend has a 22' Hewescraft and the other has a 27' Seasport. My new boss just bought a 38' Bayliner I think so may have to try and wrangle a few trips on that. I'm planning on getting a 17ish foot Hewescraft or similar with a canopy top and as big an outboard as I can bolt to it, hopefully in the Spring.

Snowboarding (20 days until my Whistler trip), cyclocross racing, and golf. HT comes in a distant 4th.

Hewescraft makes a very nice boat.
One of my customers just bought a 24' Weldcraft jet that is just outrageous. He likes to do the Snake River runs. That guy's crazy.

I used to love bowling, now I just do it cause I'm pretty decent. But hey, I am the 2007 nj state champion...in teams...lol

Oh Yeah, I forgot about my pool playing; I also have a pool table at home.

I challenge you

Going out to the range for a little target shooting is still a nice thing to do.

Ito. Where do you ski? We ski Schweitzer quite a bit here. I ski, my son snowboards.
I bought a new pair of Volkl AC 50 this year. I hurt my arm a couple weeks ago so I haven't been on the hill yet. My sons been a few times with his buddies. Says the snows beautiful.
We got another 4" last night, but so far it's been a pretty light winter.

I live in Wisconsin so I am stuck skiing a lot of the small near by hills, which sucks, but crappy skiing is still better than no skiing imo. The pic of me is from Vail last year, got some great powder. Normally I go out with my family 1-2 times a year to Colorado. This year we are skiing park city (which I have never skied before) over winter break and Breckenridge over spring break, which we go out to every year.

I currently have two pairs of skis. a pair of Nordica Dobermanns which were great for racing which I still bring out when I want some great control and a pair of Rossignol Scratch BC's. I rented some Volkl manta's(think that was the name) when I was out last year since it is almost just as cheap to rent then to bring my skis and I really liked them. It's always fun after I've skied my Rossi's for a while to go back to the Nordica's, such a different feeling

Getting a new pair of boots this year, been trying a bunch on recently, so far I am thinking I am going to go with either some Nordica's or Technica's, they seemed to fit my foot best.

And since everyone loves pictures:

Custom mount I designed and had my brother weld for lightweight battery on 1990 Integra RS; 1/3rd the weight of a stock battery and a positioned a foot lower = noticeable improvement in handling!

Most recent photography "event" was the Wings over Houston airshow a couple months ago.

My .308 Savage 10FP with Leapers SWAT 8-32x56 scope and B&C Medalist Stock, good for 0.5 to 0.75 five shot groups at 100 yards.

My Remington 870 20 gauge with Knoxx Recoil reducing stock, EOTech XPS2 Holographic sight, and lasermax universal red laser (sighted in at 10 yards for shot). Good for 1" groups at 50 yards with HV rem slugs in the stock 18" smoothbore barrel. Have yet to try the 20" rifled barrel with Sabot slugs.

TLS - I want a tractor so bad I can taste it. We keep talking about eventually buying siome land in TN or GA. I would like 20 acres or so. All I want is a green tractor with a back-ho and scooper in front so I can just go around digging holes and pushing dirt around. I want 3 miniature cows, some dogs, and the ability to relax on my pseudo farm. It would be a complete 180 from where I'm at today. I'm looing forward to it. I've also thought about getting a small herd of those fainting goats (google it). I think it would a lot of fun just to sit in a lawn chair all day drinking beer with my air horn!

You people have a serious lack of focus.
Now look into the black dot.

There is nothing else.

Why does this look dirty to me?

Hmmm ... I see what you mean. Okay, there is one other thing that I like.
