OlderThanMe Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Paintball: Spyder AMG (electro-pneumatic, open bolt blowback, 15bps in semi-auto) and Tippmann 98 (open bolt blowback, 20" barrel, scopes, custom stock, ghille cover, 8 years old and ~25,000 rounds run through it!) The 260Z and all of that mumbo-jumbo... Drawing Playing with SolidWorks and designing car parts. I used to go mountain biking until I was riding my bicycle on the road and ended up shattering my jaw. How about this "Hobo Stove" that I made literally with tin cans out of garbage cans and a pair of tin snips that my Grandfather had from the 20's. Gets the middle inner can red hot...LOL Made from 3 small coffee cans, a big popcorn can, and a bunch of tin foil crumpled around the inner cans for insulation. I also got a grate from a stove in the city recycling center. I put good size rock(4"x4"x1.5") under the inner middle can to keep temps down on the bottom of the bigger can. It took about 2 hours and a bunch of cuts on my hands...but it works great!!! I can be cooking in 3-5 minutes! It actually smokes very little beause of the very high temperatures inside the combustion chamber. Also have to be careful with using aluminum pans...Warped some of mom's pans REALLY bad so I now use some OLD cast iron pans that were handed down to me from the same grandfather. The nice thing is that you hardly need any breeze for it to work. Even if there is no breeze you can get it started with breath power and then it will just about suck air in from the high velocity of the hot air creating a vacuum and pulling air in from the side.

hughdogz Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ^^^ Olderthanme, you got so caught up in camping stuff, you forgot to mention your fencing hobby. Here are my "hobbies" in descending order: 1) Z-cars (of course) 2) Hanging out with my Akita dog 3) CAD modeling and Simulation (a spinoff from my career) 4) Playing guitar 5) Artifacting (well, I don't do this anymore since it has been illegal in Oregon for many years now) 6) Getting drunk and hanging out in bars, etc. #6 used to be my #1 a while back, but I quit drinking completely...the money saved really helps the new #1 hobby!

OlderThanMe Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ^^^ Olderthanme, you got so caught up in camping stuff, you forgot to mention your fencing hobby. Oh yeah... in 2000 I was national points champion for my age group. In '05 I was state open category (anyone) champion and open category second place in '06. I quit being full-time nationally competitive at the end of '05. Too much $$$$$!!! Makes Z's look like pocket change! I have over 75 medals/trophies/cups boxed away in the back of the closet... OLD pic of some of them... Forgot to add sailing catmarans. (mostly old Hobie 16's and Getaways) Took sailing as a PE course at college in the spring 07 semester...

JSM Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've really enjoyed being a slacker lately. Just kick back, watch some TV and do nothing. Or just take a nap. Seems the world is so busy doing things, necessary or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have many interests, but old cars are my primary one... I'm hoping to be making a living out of it quite soon. I'm a motoring journalist, and I work for two magazines - I treat these jobs as hobbies. I especially like classic JDMs, American muscle cars and hot rods. This is me with a RX-7 that I wrote about a year ago. Fabulous car... I also love vintage planes and submarines, and I'm interested in the history of both world wars in general. In my free time and during vacations I do skiing and sailing (also windsurfing). I couldn't find a picture of me skiing, so I put Bode Miller instead. The yellow boat in the lower picture (POL-19 sail number) is me. That was two years ago... Feels a lot longer than that. Here's my Datsun project, aka "The Money Pit". Will this restoration ever end? Apart from the things I wrote about, I also like scuba diving (I'm a rookie though), rock music (AC/DC, The Doors, Deep Purple, INXS just to name a few) and gangster movies (The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Untouchables), leather jackets, military jackets (especially U.S. Army), old watches and some other things that I forgot to write about...
