What are your hobbies??

[RamThis]

.. yes, i need to get down to the hobby store to get the sim. This is my first heli, so I am working on calibrating the controller and ensuring the blades are on an even path. Heli's are so touchy.:cursin:

I think I'm going to get an E-Flite Blade CP or something similar. Can be set up for mild to wild with lots of aftermarket support. I have some E-Flite equipment already, from some foamies, to brushless outrunners, seems to be decent stuff. Alot of the heli guys rave about the Blade helis too so it must be a good one.

I'm big into Autocross these days.

I also enjoy my 'lac.

Not to mention spending time with my lovely family that puts up with all I do.

I'm the guy in the second pic on the right holding the upper part of the body. That's the biggest one I've ever caught, not bad for fresh water!

Of course I also like to kayak, hunt, camp, play disc golf, bike, hike, tinker around with whatever needs tinkering, and read.

All these hobbies is making it difficult to save for a house!:bash:

Just got my first motorcycle so that is becoming a lot of fun. Ummmm, in the summer it would be on my stand up jetski, boating, or cruising in the Miata. In the winter you can find me up in Michigan on the snowmobile. All my hobbies involve gas so lets hope these prices keep dropping.

That is my hobby. Renovations on previous ones, built the current one from the ground up. Still working to finish the landscaping.

That's something I would like to do. I enjoy construction and finish work on houses. I wish I had the money to get into some real estate, I know if you work it right you can really make it big in a relatively short amount of time. Buy low, fix it up cheap as possible and usually do alot of work yourself, and sell it for a nice profit, go bigger each consecutive time until you have a hell of a nice profit coming in and can outright pay for a nice house of your own from the profits.

Any pics of the house you're working on??

My mom's BF does that. He says you have to be FAST FAST FAST to make a profit in today's market. Meaning you have to do the renovations yourself and for cheap and very quick turnover time. He's in a house now that is taking much longer than anticipated and he's currently struggling with money trying to finish it. Suffice to say, I've been over there four times this week and I have a job and he's retired! What gives?

Today's market is horrible in terms of housing. Housing is about to crash. Mortgage companies are tightening lending, they won't just give people a loan. Fed is injecting funds into the banking system because of this. Banks are not giving fellow banks loans. People are falling out of escrow. Banks are sometimes taking months to approve a loan, triple checking documentation in some cases. Interest rates are going to reset at the end of the year also. This means that the interest rates are going to be raised by a couple points at the end of December. Also, there is about $1.4 trillion at stake because of the loan resets that will take place.

Agreed , real estate is not the best thing right now. I'm glad my house is paid off.

Cool you do lawn maintenance huh? I work on lawn equipment for a living. What equipment do you run?

We sell Toro, Snapper, Honda, Echo, Stihl, RedMax, and Scag Commercial. I personally own Snapper FRP series walk behinds, have two of them, and Shindiawa M-230 power unit with trimmer, edger, pole saw, and articulating hedge trimmer attachments.

If you need any info or help figuring out something on your equipment I'd be glad to help if I can.....

Most of my time is taken by my family. I have 2 boys in baseball and 1 in band.

Since my little one started kindergarten, I just got back into lifting weights. For now, my goal is to lose my spare tire.

I get offroad a few times a year.

I have 2 boxers and a beagle. We walk a lot.

Rowdy has caught 6 rabbits. This was #5.
