Reefing, custom painting and air brushing and just got into a old hobby of mine that just consumed all my money..."riding" I grew up on 2 wheels and always had a passion for dirt bikes but with 3 kids it's hard to put around so I bought a quad and it has eaten my wallet up.... Any old Honda fans around would know what's up I got a 87 trx250r the original race quad done to the max widened like 12" lengthened 3 grand in custom axis shocks and swinger just got the motor rebuilt yesterday after blowing it up last weekend but it was a blast!!!!!! Actually just got home man I love this thing can't wait to hit dumont dunes!!!!!
 
To be honest I didn't take the picture. However, I just bought a new Macro lens for my Cannon 20D and I must figure it out! Nice pool table... I'm so jealous!!! Ohh I was thinking of bringing the naming game into the mineral market. I can call that rock Lee's Frog in a Blender. What ya think?

Thanks for the compliment...

Yeah i cant wait to get my own macro lens too!! Enjoy it!

"Frog in a Blender" sounds like a good coral name too LOL
 
I'm a rock hound and collect Franklin and Sterling Hill NJ fluorescent minerals. Their like chalices under LED but they don't die :wink:

I got a friend here in jax that collects rocks too and had a piece similar to this one. It really tripped me out man, I was staring at it for easy half an hour

That's cool! They have a couple of great museums in Franklin NJ as well.
 
Golfing and Reading when I can find the time. My youngest son plays basketball on two teams and my oldest plays football and wrestles so between running those two to practice and watching the games/matches I find a minute here and there...:bigsmile:
 
I also build AK rifles from kits. This is a PSL I built . I also brew beer and ride if I can find the time.

what kind of rifle is that? Looks like some sniper rifle I've seen on Call of Duty :P
 
I used to shoot comp. for the military and was a sniper for 7th group SF so I guess you can say I like to shoot too. But my main interests now are: RC airplanes (build my own), Wood turning bowls and pens. I turn pens for wounded soldiers who have been wounded over seas. I like four wheeling, scuba diveing, used to sky dive but my wife put a stop to that.... Now for a rush I am a firefighter full time and a vol. on my off time. My biggest interest is my 12 yr old son and my wife of 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I do RC Helicopters, dabbling in Photography and my dad and I just finished a 33 chevy 5 window coupe with a supercharged smallblock chevy
 
Yea RC Helis is a lot like trying to juggle running chainsaws, for the first month i couldnt fly worth a darn but i could fix the heck out of it
 
I've been flying planes since the early 80s. I tried the heli thing and decided to stick with the airplanes. I was spending toooooo much $$$ for parts.
 
Other than the fish,
