Well, I like tinkering w/ bikes, but since I'm a mechanic, I guess that would be more like a JOB... :|

I also love to restore antique wooden furniture, which sux, because my mechanic tools take up my woodworking tools budget. :|

I love working with the internet, but since I just got a job building databases, I guess that's now a job too... :laughing:

Dang, I guess the only thing that I could really call my hobby any more is Cooking! I love to cook. Italy is a great place for cooks too, because everyone likes to tell you HOW to cook. Because, as an American, there's no way in hell I would possibly know how to prepare food. (Pretty much everyone outside of America thinks the mass majority of Americans eat garbage... and I'm not inclined to disagree w/ them) :blink:

Riding and flying are about all I have time for. It would be nice to have a plane big enough to combine the two.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

We whooped your butts back on Monday Night and we whooped them again in November!

And we're gonna do it again in the next couple of weeks!

Hail to the Redskins!
Hail victory!

I do agree - I have a retired racing greyhound and if I put a wig on him he could pass for an afghan. ;)
