Ha! Try having two teenage daughters. Generally, they want less time, but WAY more money. Just as much love, though.

I've got a 4 yo princess, I'm gritting my teeth and shopping for menacing firearms and a comfy rocking chair for the front porch.  I figure I'll be a good shot in 12 years.   

Oblio,

You know with a good load of salt in your 12 gauge shells your aim doesn't have to be too prerfect....   13 and 18 year old daughters here. 

I haven't spent much time here lately due to researching, learning and making small purchases in the new world of LED flashlights. The Klipsch Forum is my old standby...good to see some familiar names. I used to be into RC electric trucks, life size dirt bikes and four wheelers....which was my all time favorite. Now it's bicycling thanks to another forum member who posted it as his hobby a long time ago.

Oh, I'm still enjoying my Dean G'd Rf-7's and QSC almost every weekend watching movies. Still havent made a big plasma screen purchase but with the help of my 7's it's not so bad, sound CAN make a movie...

Can't forget, I'm also helping to watch over my 88 year old mom-in-law who still lives in her own house and does her own driving, shopping and Euchre card playing with the ladies around the community............... yeah, she's my hobby in a good way.

"I love the story you told me about the tt, you got that for yourself and the wife took it over.... you got new rims on your truck and the son took it over.... you just cannot win! oh well you atleast get to turn the 60th up every so often? " I think I finally made some progress. I added another car and for now, I wound up with the Z28. Also noticed the cars with empty gas tanks don't get driven much.

 how much is gas in ny??? Its running 2.91 for premium here now full service btw.

Wow Jay - that's cheap. Still over $3 in chitown burbs.

what are you doing?

 

Re-fueling the cold war, it would seem :) 

 NJ traditionally has the nation's cheapest gas and its full service gas to boot.

 The conversion went realy well, and then I traded the HII->HIII's for a 1996 pair of Forte II's, which are trily amazing.

 My hobbies are really simple as am I.

 

Combat SAMBO, Wu style Tai Chi Cuan (including Push Hands and Sabre), Freestyle Wrestling, and watching bad television and movies.  I consider listening to my home theater system as a sort of hobby, but my real joy is in Chinese Marial arts, Wu style Tai Chi Chuan, Xing Yi  and the exercises involved,feeling the energies as I move through time and space. Combat SAMBO is a part of me, I do it well and I love doing it.  I thnk it may be the Cossak in me.

The problem is that I am the same sizes that I was in high school, and I'm 50.  I have been the same height and weight for most of the time I have been walking on this earth.  I have been 5'6" and 140 lbs since I was 17.  The good part is that I never outgrow anythingg.
