Snowshoeing, cross country skiing in the winter. Used to downhill a lot but not so much lately.

Bow hunt turkeys in the spring

Fly fishing, lake fishing for bass, trout and just about anything else in the summer.

Bow hunt for elk in the fall. Have yet to kill one but it is the most exciting thing I do!

Retired from full court basketball 4 years ago when I was 45 and could still walk Laughing

. Used to jog year around but that's staring to hurt, also. Shocked

So I lift weights and walk Sad

.

I like to putter around in my shop working on either the bike or the shop itself. And I like to drink wine, lots of it!

Fishng - of every kind. I now have over 50 fishing rods for everything from ice fishing to deep-sea trolling. I have built my own fly rods and make my own flies too.

Boating - ex let me keep my 21' fishing boat and the big F250 truck. Haven't taken her out much (the boat that is) since I bought the two bikes.

Computers and Television- I'm a bachelor (again)with 5 TVs and 5 computers in the house. Three computers are networked so I can email myself in another room.

Puttering - love my garage. Don't care what I'm fixing as long as I'm goofing around on the workbench.

Cooking - I'm a pretty damn good cook and love experimenting in the kitchen.

Girlfriend - Good company and riding buddy. She's into horses so she doesn't bug me about my own spending habits (unlike the ex).

Taking the kids to Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, band practice, music lessons, etc etc

Rebuilding the back porch.

Trying to keep the lawn from being to overgrown.

Now that the sidecar project is basically done, deciding wether to start on the 79 Trans Am or the 62 Chevy House Car (think van front RV) next or more work on the wife's 57 Fairlane.

Photography & Darkroom work (proper photography not those digital things).

Drinking good genuine British Beer , not that cr*p stuff brewed with undescribable chemicals and looking and smelling like the residue I discharge after drinking proper beer. (I live next door to a pub!)

Constant repairs to my 200 year old English Cottage (Labour of love)

Any other spare time I'm riding my bike.
