I like XC skiing, snowshoeing in the winter & do a lot of bicycle riding in the summer.

I play hockey (of course.....I'm Canadian!) and used to jog as well.....trying to get going at that again.

I thought you said you were into MODEL airplanes Chris! THAT THINGS HUGE!!. V8 powered?

Im an automotive tech and love car restoration. I have done vw's for years( dunebuggies,karmann ghia's, beetles of course) then i got tired of making them look good but going slow so switched to Chevrolet muscle cars (2 69's & 1 '73 camaro, 1966 chevelle SS396, my current avatar: a 1968 chev short and wide 4x4). since having a family of 4 kids money has run out for projects, but the kids take all the spare time and are a more enjoyable time filler.

Yep, since I discovered hunting it is all I do, there is always something in season.
Our whole family loves it, kids take turns coming with me or the wife. We do a lot of camping, winter and summer, but bring lots of guns, so I consider that hunting too.

When I'm not firing projectiles at game animals in season, I'm usually firing them at paper and metal targets with a handheld device. :wink: Getting back into pistol shooting after quite an absense and hope to get competitive again in the near future. My wife rolls her eyes...there goes more gas money, entry fees and time spent reloading. :mrgreen:

Outside of 'the shooting sports', I jog and I'm lucky to have an indoor track close by for the Winter. I spend some time doing my own writing, outside of contract gigs through work and I even have the odd studio session providing back-up vocals to a few local artists. Yes...I sing. Make fun if you will...but it came in real handy in high school and university with the ladies. :wink:

At age 50, I play hockey with a bunch of kids! Kids in there twenties and early thirties. Most are pretty good hockey players. I am "Gramps" on the team. Good thing I don't have to skate with them, only have to stop the puck! :) :) Maybe the Maple Leafs want me! For five hundred thousand a year I would spend every game on the bench doing a headstand if they want me to! :D :D

Winter time is as busy as the warmer months. I like to hit the lake to ice fish for perch and the river for walleye when they run. Love the peace and quiet of the frozen lake.
Also do so welding/ fabricating in my shop as well as a bit of resto work on older cars or antique tractors.

Have also taken up a up wood butchering .

And if there is any spare time I do a bit of quality control work , taste testing Gibsons finest or the odd bottle of Molson's Canadian.

Summer fun is fishing and camping.
Winter fun is hunting, tweaking outdoor equipment, and fly tying (in my man-cave).
