Working on and driving my 1973 Toyota Landcruiser, carpentry projects, working on my home, collecting firewood for the winters and gardening
I'm Volunteer Fire fighter for my town that i live in. Besides doing it full time i also volunteer when my time permits. Also love Riding my harley. I'm also huge into modeling scale models mostlly modern day US Military aircraft in 1:48 scale. Which that hobby let me into this hobby. So right now one of my hobbys is researching model railroading were i havnt actually started building anything yet. Also I camp and do a lot of hiking and back packing with the wife and dog.
I'm a big Classic Movie fan--films from the '30's, '40's and '50's, along with classic foreign films, mainly French and Russian. So far I've got about 600 classic films on DVD and Video. My favorite genre are classic westerns, historical dramas and 'thirties and 'forties "screwball" comedies. I'll watch almost anything that John Ford, Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann or Preston Sturges ever directed.
I'm also a big fan of historical non-fiction, particularly anything that has to do with ancient Rome. What a BLOODTHIRSTY batch those people were, LOL!

I enjoy reading the classics. Currently wading through The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides.
I also enjoy Astronomy, stellar physics, and using a telescope, although not in recent years...not since getting into MRR.
I enjoy personal fitness and racing in footraces, something I have been doing for 33 years. I only came to road cycling on racing bicycles later, and found that I enjoyed commuting year-round on a mountain bike with a front studded tire for safety. Couldn't beat that, and I miss it a great deal. I still use a road bike a couple of times a week seasonally.
I have come to enjoy photography a lot, particularly since purchasing a first digital camera a few years back. Between its form/function and Jarrell's patient help, I have come a long way.
Social psychology, philosophy, logic, and ethics & morality have long been a part of my interests, much of it rooted in the Christian faith. I teach a course in leadership and ethics on line at the 400 level for part-time work and because I always learn something as I go along, whether reading professionally or learning something from my students who occasionally come up with really good observations.
Lastly, music has always been at my core. I don't sing especially well, but I still enjoy participating in a local mixed choir that puts on two major concerts a year. Recently agreed to serve as VP pending full presidency next cycle. I feel I have to contribute to things from which I get a benefit, and after moderating here, it seemed like something I could do.

I've been in R/C flying for about fifteen years when my son was my test pilot.I never flew myself but enjoyed building.Now that my son has steered his life towards other priorities,I miss this a lot.
Sport fan,I also like the Blue Jays a lot although I'd prefer having the Expos,them I miss too.The Jays are on TV only occasionally out here.Hockey,well I'm not so hot about the Canadiens so I don't watch hockey much.
Right now (and from now on I'd say)my layout gets all my attention.
Woodworking, computer games, and reading. I also watch lots of football during the season.
Now that I'm retired, I'm adding photography as well.
Enjoy

I enjoy historical reenactment. I am a member of French French and Indian/ 7 Years War group based out of western PA and portray a Canadien habitant (milicien) with them. I am also a member of the Knox County Regiment of the Tennessee militia which focuses on the American Revolutionary period through 1810. I addition to this I enjoy shooting traditional muzzleloading blackpowder weapons, hunting and ice hockey.
