I used to do some wood working but haven't much lately as I'm in an apartment. I think, mostly, I read and watch movies. I just realized how boring my life is right now.
I am a Ham Radio operator, I do Gunsmithing, Knife sharpening, Reloading, and Volunteer work for Senior Citizens and Military Veterans !
And Fishing in the Summer and Fall....

I love to fish, mostly crappie, bass and catfish. I love to shoot my bow and shoot quite a few 3D shoots every year. I also shoot pins at my gun club whenever I can. Here is a link to a vidoe of me in action at one of our shoots, my buudy posted this on his myspace page.
Zen and the Art of Motorcyvle Maintenence..........the book about touring on a motorcycle.........900cc thus the screen name. Dunno anything about budhism.
Like to go muskie and walleye fishing, on ice or in the summer. My jeep seems to be an ongoing project, somthing I would like to finish up on this coming weekend. Paintball when I get the time, and archery. And if you try, you can really hunt year round.
Lately, my main non-gun hobby is "adventure motorcycling" - exploring the local backroads and trails, as well as doing multi-state roadtrips and rallies.
MC maintenance of course - goes with the riding.
I still like shooting the twentytwo guns, and milsurps - never 'out of season' for those!
Occasionally I still build the plastic scale models - aircraft and armor mostly, but also classic musclecars. Much more affordable than the real thing!
Collecting and shooting Mil-Surps, reloading, amatuer gunsmithing, building custom pistol grips, playing with my three grandkids, and occasionaly (rarely) working on my honey-do list. Oh-yeah, I also enjoy drag racing and muscle cars. Unfortunately, my motorized playthings will prob. be going up on E-Bay within the next few months.
I have yet to go hunting, as I've only just started firearm collecting.
But, my other hobbies include resto-modding my 1972 Mach1 Mustang, Live-Action Role Playing (LARP), and drinking bottomless mugs of coffee with friends; it is Seattle, after all.
I used to go out paintballing once or twice a month, but haven't done that for years. I also have the equipment to go out and play airsoft (UTG MP5 select-fire semi-/full-auto, 6mm plastic pellet), but haven't found anyone with equipment to go out and play with.
Ive thought about paintball, on a cozens land and ona uncles land. but there land is mostly wide open, tho i can get more timber land for some extrem paintball hunting. deep draws and alot of hard walking and alot of places to hide,
I just realized how boring my life is right now.
i dont know about him
