I have a '70 Nova drag car I race a few times a year. I also do a few car shows a year. We have a huge swap meet right across the river from me in Rhinebeck, NY in the spring. I have two spaces there and we all get our parts and lay 'em on the tarp as they say.
I also have a motocross bike which is a blast. Motorcycles are my first love from early childhood and I have never grown up. I raced MX in my HS days and am just getting back into the scene. I had a Ninja 900 street bike for 15 years along with several assorted bikes.
I have a small boat I fish the Hudson in. This is probably the thing I get to do the most. Fishing is also a lifelong addiction of mine. I fish several bass tourneys a year.
The smaller things are also RC cars and a truck. I have two 4wd touring cars and a stadium truck. No nitro yet, but I really want one. I'd love to get a 1/8 buggy like an Ofna Hyper 7.
There are about 5 other tings I do for fun but those are the biggest.
You may tell I am not a 60 hour a week work-a-holic. Money means less to me than having a life and seeing my kids.

A plaque on my mothers kitchen wall:
"Never get too busy making a living that you forget to have a life"

SASS match shooting when-ever I can. This is the Single Action Shooting Society and the Cowboy Action Shooting type matches.

We all dress and act like the folks of the old west and have shootouts in theme scenerios with live ammo. Mines is a Ruger Vaquero 45LC with a 5 1/2" barrel for my handgun and a Winchester 30/30 Model 91 (No typo-a real Model 91).

My truck is an older RC10T, but it's in nice shape.

I also have a HPI RS4 with the f150 body,and a Traxxas gas truck. My brother-inlaw raced for Team Assoiciated along time ago. He raced gas on roads. Now he races for Team Xray.

I like ice fishing and hockey a guy has to do something in the winter.

... I like to collect "vintage electricana" ie;..switches,receptacles,luminaires,..you name it, if it's old,chances are it'll wind up in my shop of horrors.I also "enjoy" taking inventory in my "shop",on the weekend, to see what I actually have,and bought yet AGAIN for the previous weeks work.It's quite amazing all the stuff one can amass,and lose track of..No wonder my supply house loves me so much..
