Top five others besides rocketry in order:

1) Poker- CASH game (not tournament) No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em and PLO (Pot Limit Omaha) in casinos/card rooms/big home games semi-professionally to fund other hobbies; been playing since BEFORE the Chris Moneymaker craze at the 2003 WSOP.

2) Fine Dining and cooking with my girlfriend

3) R/C- mostly Vintage 80's/90's glow-powered pattern and pylon types but getting into some of the electric ARF Scale-types; been doing R/C since '78 and am considering getting into turbines.

4) Vintage 80's full-size video games and pinballs

5) Target shooting- Mostly with AR-15 type rifles

NO Harm DOES equal NO FOUL and should be a perfectly VALID and LEGAL policy for EVERYTHING including SAFETY !

More than anything, I crew on racing sailboats. Generally a mainsail trimmer, but can fit anywhere.

Bicycling. I rode across country in '08. I'm feeling the need for another long tour.

Tiki and ****tails.

I piddle with N-scale trains.

Drawing and painting. Art in general.

I live about 1,000' from Lake Huron so boating and building boats is my other passion.

Obviously to me a real boat is made of wood!

Hope to start on a cedar strip sea kayak next.

The last two pics are of my sail boat.

Unfortunately I have to repair the sail. I had a family of chipmunks living in it over the winter and the sail has a ugly hole in the middle!

BTW, my chipmunk solution is the last picture and my first mate.

The chipmunks are GONE!!!

Thanks!

I did sell the canoe.

Lake Huron and a canoe is NOT a good combination!

Music - I play at various recorders and dabble with pennywhistles. My main outlet is liturgical music but also do some Celtic stuff (my wife plays Celtic harp)

I can second the daydreaming from Craig!


I always wondered about the name. Now it's clear.
