I'm into air rifles for birds and small game (like the small target challenge).

RWS 48B

I'm considering a .50 caliber pellet gun:

Bikes as well. The ones with engines though. I'm looking at picking up an early 2000's Aprilia RSV Mille R for a track bike and a 06 zx6r for a new street bike. The newer liters don't appeal too much to me anymore although I like the zx10r.

Similar to Batman, I have a couple 1911's I take to the range occasionally. I used to be a big hunter but it's nearly impossible to find the time and my enthusiasm has worn a bit. Still love to fly fish when I get the chance, even if it's for cat fish. I also ski at least once a season for a week.

Otherwise my hobbies are investing and about 10-15 of the million possible tangents off of that subject.

That and I work out regularly, any/student alumni can participate in their strength competitions and I'm almost where I want to be although it's taken 5 years.
 
sport bikes, dirtbikes, quads, mountain bikes (all crammed into the tiny garage) shooting, women, clothing shopping (i'm not gay!) driving, exploring, geocaching, etc etc etc. I have lots of interests, just not enough money.
 
Guitars - I play predominantly metal and blues.

Art - I paint and sell my stuff... Haven't done one in a while though :(

Mountain Biking - Rocky terrains in CO have my name on them. I got a Trek Y3 that's beat to hell but still tip top. Best freakin bike ever!

Cooking - Balkan, Italian and Mediterranean but also the classics like BBQ and what not...

Guns - Dragunovs, XD-9, DE .50, Magnum... I don't kill things though.

Running, Fishing, Camping, 4wheeling

Sports - Played in the Denver Kickball Coalition, various Softball teams, Hamburger SV jr soccer team

Reading - I can't get enough of WW2 and Geology.

Languages - fluent in 3, so-so in 2, learning 6th now.

And I race cars...

Drums here as well. I was looking at the Peart kit as well but you can not add on-to it and my kit is bigger :) I have a TD-20 roland kit w/ a few extra pads and a Tama set. I have been playing heavy metal as of late such as Lamb of God, and a new band that just rocks.

I have a Pearl kit and a Roland TD-7 kit (can't afford the TD-20 :p). Just bought my 2 year old a set of Tama Stagestars for Christmas since they're more his size than my Pearls that he's been playing. I started drumming about 25 years ago, double bass almost all of that. I have DW pedals but I like Axis' stuff as well. I haven't played much since the kids were born, but hopefully I'll have time for it again someday soon. I have some MP3s here (all originals and dumped from cassette - you'll like the Formacide stuff, it's extremely heavy):

All my cover stuff is unfortunately on cassettes or VHS that have never been digitized and are scattered throughout various boxes in the basement.

Yikes, 6 langauges. I know english, spanish, and I'm at about a 7-8th grade level in mandarin chinese. I've been working on chinese for almost 4 years, I don't think I have it in me to learn any more langauges unless there is a lot of $$ involved.

I love Baseball, im a die-hard Yankee and go to a ton of gears each year.

I like to go-out, Im not the sit home and watch TV type of guy. I like late nights, looking for woman, dating, hanging out till all hours of the night with friends and so on and so for.

Im a huge movie fan, like playing ping pong, anything that has to do with cars/auto memorabilia, working on my garden, fixing up my house, shopping and anything that has to do with spending money:frown:

And I love spending time with my family. Luckily my brother is my assistant and I recently moved 2 miles from my parents. I try to see them whenever I can.

That rocks, drums are so fun. Got into them because my dad was a pro back in the day. Also I have the DW9000's right now and they are great just the axis are a little faster :) Also the roland stuff is good but the plastic's on the cage that comes with the TD20 sucks but oh well :) Also I did buy a DW kit and sold it. DW is great as well. The best thing about the roland is it's super easy to play fast because everything is so close together. Also I will check out that link.

That's BS Steve. I know you like going fast, on land and in the water. Not so much in the air though. :smile:

Ah yes... I almost forgot about the jet ski's. it's been a few months since I have seen them but I am only about a week away at this point.

You know I thought of another one too. Eating. I really enjoy good food! It is a wonder I am not a fat slob.
