Besides working on my Slick I do alot of home made beef and venison jerky. Making old junk new ranks pretty high as well. My toughest hobby right now is trying to teach myself how to pinstripe, but like JC said, after partaking in my malted barley hobby, the quality is questionable.

I like digging in the dirt (gardening), shooting(pistol/rifle), reading, plunking on the mandolin and working on the slick. Rum is the other hobby of choice.

I am realy a High Tech nerd.

I build computors. I have 5 working machines on my network here at home. I often build them for friends and fam. Did 6 last year.

I also enjoy learning how to program software. I can do about 6 different types sort of half ass.

I also like to Mountain Bike. Not ride my bike on a flat gravel trail, but ride the ski lift up and come winding down through trees and taking jumps (3-6ft of air verticly) crazy crap like that.

Love to Ski, but don't get to do it much because no one elsi in my fam likes to, can Colorado is like 12 hour away.

I also enjoy building ANYTHING. And I do mean anything. Woodworking, any metal projects, home improvement, etc...

Drinking is also enjoyed!

Fergo, I knew I liked you for other reasons than being a friend and fellow drinker of beer and spirits. The SRV and Slash
videos you posted were awesome. That little Fergie in those tight leather britches was easy on the eye, too. Rock On, buddy! For the last couple of months my hobby has been building a doll house for my grand daughters.
Am almost finished with it now so I'll be able to get back to building my Slick. Like making old trucks and cars runs again, cooking on the grill, making road trips (especially to SS and the Pate Swap Meet), listening to music, and drinking beer with all of the above. TR

Besides my trucks and cars I like metal detecting. I have two metal detectors and have found numerous finds at old Army Forts and Air Bases. When I was living in Colorado I searched some old ghost towns. Like Greg, I build a model car or truck every now and then. I just finished building a 58 Edsel. I am also very active in my community. I serve on the city planning and zoning commission, the city Jamboree committee, I belong to the Chamber, I serve on the city medical clinic board, and I am on the finance committee for the church. I am regional vice president (RVP) for Texas and an active board member for the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) attending three meeting a year in different parts of the country.

Dang Chelle, You better pace yourself. I was going to nominate you for president next term. Looks like you have a full plate.

I also had a couple of beehiives years ago till the neighbors boys climbed onto the hives and got stung a couple of times (could have been a lot worse) so i got rid of them . Also forgot to mention i raise a garden every year.

Your right Wyatt, I am spread a little too thin. I intend to slow down a bit. I still have a year left on the finance board and when the year is done I am not going to take on another one. The same goes for the city medical clinic board I am resigning at the end of this year.

Michelle,
a buddy of mine found this 58 Edsel Sedan Delivery.
This is way too cool - I want to built one except in full size!

That is way cool. Did Edsel ever build a sedan delivery? I don't think so. It would sire be neat to build one though.

I am pretty sure they didn't Michelle. The people who make that have alot of "Phantom" car bodies though.
I can just picture it in my head;
Body bone stock trim etc.
Pink or Coral & Black for colors.
Stance like my 64.
Wide steel wheels with stock hubcaps.

now you're on the hook for fresh honey at ss 2012! lol.
having worked at an orchard for many years and dealt with the hives i was surprised at how docile the bees were as long as you don't do anything stupid.
