I second all that Scott.

Boating, water skiing, jetskis, Kayaking, RV'ing, four wheeling, any kind of shooting or shooting sport, but shotgunning best (sporting clays, skeet, trap etc.), bird hunting, some handgunning, big bore rifle and black powder, archery, I'll fish a little at the river from time to time but no real fisherman, play a little golf but not enough to be any good, wrenching on just about anything, electronics repair. The latter are more from necessity than anything else. I like to work on all my own stuff, but it's a catch 22 because it's a must just to keep it all running. Typically if aint 100+ degrees I'm in the garage messing with something. I'm out there when it's over 100 too but whining most of the time.

Oh yeah.........notice I didn't list home repair/remodel. Whenever I feel the need to work on the house, I leave it.

Learning to play guitar has been a challenge, but I'm slowly getting to the point where it starting to sound like a guitar.

Norm, shame on you!!!

While I was thinking of the things I have done, I forgot what I'm doing now.
Sasquatch Hunter, I believe I have come close to an encounter. But sadly I have no bona fide proof.

I taught myself to play guitar a few years back. Since the kids were born, I never have a good time to catch up on it. Played at a bar once, got nervous and walked off after a few songs :eek: Its one of those things that was a whole lot easier back when I toked the greens

Yes...There really is an Oklahoma Cowboy in that one set of photo's (first time I read that post, all I saw was that cute blonde gal)

I love my music..western, blues, 40's/50's rock -big band on and on (need a sic-sak real quick when the Rap thumps down the street) cant play anything, cant dance ! (result of being raised a preachers kid), But if Loafer can learn Guitar..I might !

Note to All you Old/young Folks out walking "For Your health"

The weight of a Hand Gun will only enhance your health and your security !

My friend, "Rob", age 71 was killed by a street gang, ("four thug's") while walking for his health after heart surgery..on Jan 12th this year !..they robbed him and beat him down then kicked him..damageing the heart surgery...he died as a result !

If he had been "carrying" he could have defended himself !

Be healthy..be wise !

I'm only walking around our work compound which is completely enclosed and has security or on my dead end street currently but that's a good point. Be a victor not the victim.

Walk with a nice big dog. Nobody will bother you. They will cross the street to get out of the way.
