My 1st hobby is horses. I have this arabian gelding Strider. I have had him for 10 years and put 850 racing miles on him. I ride about 2000 miles a year. He has covered 50 miles of rough torrain in 4.5 hours.
My corvette is my second hobby. If I had to give up 1 my car would go.
My other hobby if you could call it that is building. My wife constantly has to keep me from adding another building or addition to the property. I like cementing or construction and try for a major project each summer.

Computers... but I guess thats my job now... not really a hobby anymore...

I go to clubs and stuff every weekend (atleast now that the track is closed for the season)... NYC is pretty tight on the weekends...

I am a big Tennessee Vols football fan!! This occupies nearly every Saturday in the Fall. Another hobby that keeps me busy and having fun is Home Theater. I have a fairly nice setup boasting component video DVD and 5.1 Channel SonyES sound through all Polk Speakers. Also, I am an MBA Student.... So, after work, I keep my plate full. :)

Cats! Love them. I can say without any reservations that this couch potato is not mine ;). The second is: an orange Persian. Be kind; she does not know that she does not have a nose and is easily offended as she watches me browse the Forum.

Riding Motorcycles (Harley's) Building model sailing ships (you thought the Vette took hours of your time???) Playing Hockey, dancing in clubs (women love that) Listening to local rock bands, concerts, sporting events, dating ...whew. I am a single parent to a 14yr old, and finding time for "myself" is at a premium.. but hey.. at least the Vette is on the top of the list :yesnod: :cheers: :seeya :seeya :seeya
