I think you and I would get along well...if something isn't already on fire, I'm figuring out ways it could be ignited...
Beautiful pics of the fox and deer, too. Very nice.

I play paintball (too expensive to do on a regular basis)

I read way to much

Xbox Live (not as much as the reading so my fiancee cant get upset)

I love to backpack, but only when the weather is nice.

Im adding fishing to this also, cause other than the bait monkey its a bit less expensive than paintball, and i get out in the sun without having to drive a ton of miles to go backpacking

Recently, making lures. I consider it a job to get myself started each day, but once I get into it, it's fun, so it really if a hobby, and it started as a hobby.

I love to read, science fiction's my favorite. Swords, magic, etc. Terry Goodkind is one of my favorite authors.

I play a bit of video games, just enough to know how much I suck at them.

tried rod building, I'm not very good, and I really don't have enough patience for it...

I love photography as well.

I also like to cook, grilling's my favorite. I am actually looking into culinary school right now, but I may change my mind later.

Whoops, how did I forget this one? probably cause it's winter.

Anyways, my avatar reminded of classic cars.

We (my dad and I) restored the 69 Camaro RS convertible in my avatar. And we're currently working on a 65 Mustang conv. (whata piece of junk...(for now!))

I love to hunt, and I work a lot. Fishing is great too, I like going to church as much as I can, I play pick up sports, go muddin and work on my truck. I like girls. Pick a little guitar, play a little fiddle. Facebook. And I have an unhealthy obsession with catching, (not killing) wild animals. Not really any clear cut hobbies, but I enjoy myself.

I like to strum a guitar a bit. I have a 6 and 12 string washburn acoustic and an Ibanez electric. I had an Ibanez acoustic until my oldest thought it would look better with the neck broke off, eeeewwwwwww. Eventhough I am not that good, it matches my singing, and I play good enough to play chords with a descent player. I am in church just about everytime the doors are open and I play bass (Not the fish) in the church band. That's about it other than fishing and working. Most of my time goes to my family, but that is a priority, not a hobby. The others just get a squeeze in every now and then.

When i'm not fishin, I enjoy art.....I love using the airbrush, and I've been airbrushing off an on for over 30 years. Heres a sample of items I've painted recently. A couple were even bass related....the tire cover was a gift for my neighbor and the panel was for myself. I'm finishing up a Ghostrider themed Harley for a local guy that i'll share tank pictures of before they got clear coated. I also like computer sim racing games and we got an Xbox360 this Christmas so we play that alot too(hence the guitar hero controller my daughter insisted I paint for her....lol).

I'm a fan of motorsports so we enjoy going to races when we can....We also love to do a bit of hiking and camping and motorcycle riding.....I love hotrods and motorcycles, and have built and customized my share over the years....I'm currently building myself an old skool style chopper from an ol Honda 650 custom we got off Ebay.

Professional student here. Haha, just kidding. I guess besides bass fishing I like to shoot sporting clays, skeet, and trap. I also like to fix tackle and organize tackle.

I read a ton of sci/fi fantasy and anything else that has a good story line , play poker religiously, i used to play magic the gathering , and or trading card games nationally and that was fun while it lasted .
i'm always down to play a game of basketball or football and spend the rest of the time i hanging out with my kids or fishing . And music is prob one of my biggest interests got a 80 gig ipod that is full of some with music ranging from hardcore/death metal , to old school rap and rock , I need to buy another ipod soon .

Bowling, the Bandit and I have been in a league for 6 or 7 years togather. Used to bowl a lot of tournments, from Chicago to Atlantic City to Richmond, everywhere really. It cost to much and took up to much of my time. FISHING IS ALOT EASIER ON MY NERVES!!!

I particapated on that forum for many years, but finally got my fill of all the bs that seemed to have taken over the place the past few years, so I stopped taking part.....I did post some pics of that tank at airbrushtech.com so its possible you've seen them somewhere before.

I do take commision work, but because I'm disabled I don't work as fast as a normal guy runnin a full blown business, so my turnaround times are slower than those guys....if you can deal with that i'm happy to airbrush for most folks....but that also depends on what they want....theres alot of stuff i'm not interested in painting.....tee shirts, ball caps, license tags, just to name a few....nowadays I tend to work for the biker community for the most part....but I still do stuff for the occasional hotrodder or racer....even done a few wall murals for a local restaurant, but i'm not too keen on ever doing that again....lol

Thanks for everyones kind words about my art....I always enjoy hearing what others think.
