For those that have a life…:mrgreen:… 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.
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.
Out running Mustangs and Corvettes in my 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. I have won so many trophies and plaques at shows that they are all in boxes. KCFOG best of show just a month ago. Gets 33 MPG on the highway if I drive 80; gets only 31 doing 70; don’t ask me why. I wonder if Jeff Barnes has a…
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 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
I like to make atomic weapons out of old automobile parts.
I also get up at 6:00am sharp each morning, run 36 miles (one way) and get back to the house in time to make a special lunch for my sweety who is still working as a Senior DBA for Duke Energy.
Then in the afternoon I’ll paint (inside and out) three or four houses in disrepair around the Southwest Ohio area.
Return home in time to consult the Astronauts at the Space Station before making dinner, doing the week’s laundry, and clean the entire house.
