9 cars mostly projects, some done, some not. 100 plus year old Victorian house with teenage boys and their friends wrecking stuff faster than I can fix um. Just bought 4.8 acre lake lot and had to clear trees, pay to have a 700 ft road put in and build a bunk house. This on top of my job as a multi-line claims rep. I sleep about 4 hours a night. Life is work, then life is more work. But thanks for asking... <_<
2000 Nissan Xterra (wifes driver) 2003 Mercury Sable (company beater) 95 BMW M3 Builder (Done) 1959 California MGA (Done) 1974 BMW 2002 (project close to done) 1957 VW Oval Rag (total project) 1954 Austin Healey 100-4 (more than a project) 1992 Jeep (son's car) always needs something 1974 Glastron 160 GT Ski Boat ( needs paint over the winter) Oh ya!

Mortgage Loan Rep is my fulltime job, General Contractor is my side job. Im currently remodelling our 27 year old home, relandscaped the front and back added a pool and spa, moving walls, enlarging bathrooms, building new kitchen cabinents, just finished sheet rocking the ceiling in my garage and added ceiling fans and built new cabinents, ripped out the old ones. Hope now I can get back to work on my 914. Oh yah, I have a 1974 Chev half ton slammed, etc, use to be my dads, I'll get back to finishing that one when I'm done with the 914.

I like to play with boats in the summer, I have a couple of 14' runabouts that I'm always doing something to, but at least one is ready to go in the water at all times.
In the winter I have a couple of 30+ yo Rupp snowmobiles that require some tinkering but they sure are fun. Not a bit like todays monsters There is a '67 21 window VW bus that is very neglected now that I have a 914. And of course my 3 yo and 9 month old keep me busy on the nights that mom is at work. Heck I got lots of free time I need another hobby. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Fishing - I love to fish. Bought a new boat. Learning to fish from the boat now (freshwater)
Shotgun sports (sporting clays, five stand). Only when it is cooler out. Still learning though. I went shooting today. It was fun. I like to cook - I'm a natural in the kitchen I used to brew beer, but sold my equipment when we moved. I won 3rd place in the Central Florida Fair with my stout (Guiness copy). And of course... my family (but that's not a hobby, that's my life)! |
