I have restored a few boats :

here are some pix:

Here's a couple of project threads: the second one was featured in Clasic Yacht Magazine last spring. The first one is in NJ now.

I did a few cars too. One was a 1969 Mini Cooper 998. It was in Mini World Magazine in England. It's been on display in the showroom floor of New England Imports for about 10 years now. The owner of the place bought it form me a while back...

After that a few Jeeps...for fun.

I fish, a lot. Flyfishing and spin fishing, mostly salt water.

And I like restoring SOHC4 bikes.....

Currently, the bike is my hobby.  Other than that, is it Bookers (127 proof)/Knob Creek (100 proof) - (www.smallbatch.com) or Woodfords Reserve and my iPhone/iPod playing in my ears.  Or a nice buzz and my 61" rear projection.

and handgun shooter.

target range? what handguns are you shooting with? Ruger Sp101 and Walther P99 here( looking to replace with a Glock .40). Horrible shot tho. Not hard to hit stuff with .357 and .40 cal tho. It's the smaller caliber that gets me.

I shoot IDPA matches, Tactical style matches, and small bore target matches.  Glock is my #1 gun.  Glock 32C .357 Sig mostly. Kimber Gold Match .45 ACP in some events.  My Wilson Combat Tactical LE is for the tactical matches and it is super accurate.  My Ruger MKIII Comp. is a very accurate small bore.  My other handguns are for fun and carry.

Not to start a gun thread but how do you like your P99? I,m thinking about getting a S&W99 or P99.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Sailing and astronomy/photography.  Boat picture is in the Slate Islands Lake Superior and the comet is Hale-Bop taken with my telescope and my trusty old Nikon F 

Someday I will add sailing.

i picked up mt. biking last year and am itching for the spring season to start so i can get out and ride. backpacking; i'm waiting for my new ruck sack to come in since i had to turn in my last one. gotta stay in shape since my other job entitles me to stay fit so i enjoy running and a workout. ever since my visit to ft. lewis two years ago, my glimpse of rainier left me itching to mountaineer or climbing. unfortunately, the tallest peak in missouri is about 1,200 ft, lol. fishing. bowhunting but i'm bowless now (needed cash). duck hunting. cooking. while i was in school, i enjoyed doing the machining and manufacturing for my design team using the mills and lathes. did TIG welding and it was a great way to learn and apply. unfortunately i graduated and until i settle down and can afford some machines, this hobby will remain dormant. i think i get the need to craft/build from my dad since he's been a woodworker apart of his whole life. i just prefer metal over wood, lol.

 Nice work!  Must be satisfying to live in hardwood country and have the ability to go from a tree to a family heirloom. I'm envious, only aspen and paper birch here.
