Default What do you do in your spare time

For those that have a life........ what do you do in your spare time....be it relaxing, sports, hobbies?

I myself ride my motorcycle (05 FJR 1300), involved in my kids sports (currently coaching soccer for older teens) and am addicted to playing chess.......sometime longer than I should but I love to talk to people all over the world including in some of the countries I was stationed while in the military.

So what is your life outside of HI like....

regards

Jeff

Up until last week I rode motocross on Sat and played on a football team on Sun... every Sunday like clockwork. Doctor told me to stop. I got hurt pretty bad last week. Had X-rays, ultrasound and today an MRI on my lower back. I can't really walk this week. Crawling everywhere even to work.

Default Re: What do you do in your spare time

Good thread Jeff.

Most stuff I do revolves around coaching my oldest sons (8 yrs old) sports teams - baseball, basketball, karate, soccer. I've been accused of having more fun than the kids at times!

I am on the school board too, just started before school let out, so we'll see how that works out.

When the younger one (9 months) is old enough, I'll repeat.

I play softball once a week and also love to play chess. I used to be in the USCF and they had a great on-line interface to play, but I looked for it about 6 months ago and seems they didn't have it anymore.

If you know of a good on-line chess site, let me know (Yahoo doesn't count. ) Otherwise we can play chess by email. p-Q4 rick@owlhomeinspections.com

I also try to take the wife out once in a while.

I come here and watch the same old idiots make fools of themselves. It doesn't take much to get them going.

I enjoy riding my Harley, went on a 140 mile ride yesterday. I like to fish and go target shooting quite a bit.

I have a passion for old lever action Winchesters.

We enjoy riding our moto too...and grand parenting...and gardening...and bicycling...and shooting...

We are currently looking for another truck camper.

Besides the basic classic games, Currently I like Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. Here is a link to what the game looks like.

Hi to all,

I study ancient history and social anthropology, plus I love trivia and anything with a piston engine strapped to it (old cars, planes, boats and motorbikes) Gimme an old BMW R75 to play with and I am happy
