Breed and show(trainers ride) Arabian horses all over the U.S., mess around with my 1930 Model A ratrod, rip dirtbikes, RC cars, Harley and chopper, shoot guns, and hang with my crazy 8 year old active Vizsla which is my best friend. And travel as much as possible, I stay busy.

Being Canadian
Beer is a big part of my life.

anything with an engine from pressure washer to 54 Ford truck, 55 Chevy,
67 vw Cab, etc etc

enjoying life

but I have to admit I need to exercise more.
Carbon buckets in GT3 will be a tighter fit than the last GT3

Stereo gear (built my own tube amps for years) and fly radio control gliders (usually fast ones off cliffs). Food and travel too. My favorite is when several of the hobbies intersect - like when I did ED of my GT4 and brought a glider to fly in the Swiss Alps while enjoying good food and drink

I thought your name sounded familiar. I raced BMX in the 80's and 90's, NBL and ABA, we have a lot of mutual friends, Diely, Cairns, Fosters, etc, etc. I raced for Peddler bike shop with Dave Clymer. Cool to see you are still riding.

Its hard to have many hobbies when you're raising 3 young boys. But I do my best. I screw around and mod expensive electronics / AV equipment. Also combine some handyman work. My latest creation, all DIY.

Now I spend spare time in front of that screen while I wait for my .2 GT3. Kids can join of course,

which is a plus.

Pump up the adrenaline by driving on the track, then you need a way to chill a relax. My reef aquarium: heart rate down, BP down, all is right with the world

edit: do you still do it? Likely SETs, right? Wonder what you feed those into.

Likely a good move, more "room" for cars.

add some new old analog gear, with some tubes in between, and your ears won't bleed any more. Plus, you can keep your iphone.
