Used to whack a ball when I worked at another shop, but haven't touched a club in 10 years.  Still do some wheeling in the Cherokee, been a member of PNW4WDA since '76.

More into gold prospecting/mining, belong to 3 clubs, and am part owner in 3 claims. Also got into metal detecting with two mid/upper type machines, and belong to a local club.

Do a lot of shooting in the summer. AR and .22 mostly. Also do a bit with slug guns (12, 20), muzzleloader (50cal)...these are more "tools" than anything, the first 2 being more for fun. Also do archery and crossbow. Those things obviously lead me into deer hunting. Salmon fishing. Been playing guitar for almost 30 years now, had a few bands(nothing now). Wood working. I thoroughly enjoy the "around the house" work (remodeling, repairs, landscaping...anything that improves things!). Also...#1 Flying! I'm just getting back into it (after 8-9 years)...the job market is picking up again, hopefully I can get a foot in the door somewhere. Had a couple flights over the last year, not enough to really count for anything. Went up this evening, to a towered field to work on my radio skills (or lack there of)...did good. Felt better than anything else you could do, with your clothes still on! I feel like a pilot again!

 If we had mountains here...I'd be all about days long backpacking/hunting trips. I'm stuck in the flatlands with a huge population...nowhere to go with any real freedom, and not running into a crowd.

Great topic.  I enjoy watching Texas Rangers baseball and classic cars shows.  I also enjoy a good book!

 

MM,

Are you able to attend many car shows throughout the year?

Great idea Hunter. In addition to modeling I really enjoy golf in the warmer months. I also love to read historical fiction books. My wife is even worse tho...she can read a book in a day or two lol!

 

Andy my dad loved playing golf in the spring and summer also. I would go out with him once in awhile. And my wife is like your's...she can have a book done before I get to the half way mark LOL.

What Are Your Other Interest??
Posted by Hunter on Thursday, January 4, 2018 6:05 PM

Hello everyone,

I know all of us have immense involvement in scale modeling, and military history. But like most of you I have other interest in life that I like to be involved with. When I was 8 years old my dad took me to a motorcycle speedway race in Costa Mesa, CA. at the fair grounds...I was hooked, we went every Friday night during the race season until we moved to Montana 3 years later. Ever since then I have been a large follower of the European teams in the UK, Poland, Sweden, Australia, and Norway. 

Watch this to understand what I am talking about if you don't know.

I also enjoy target shooting at long range and CQ target at a outdoor range near home. I have various 308's (7.62mm) and AR15's (5.56mm) that I really enjoy useing. I am currently learning how to "Reload" my own ammo...and slowly purchasing the tools needed to do so. I've always been one of those individuals that like's to learn and try new things.

Last...My wife and I enjoy backpacking the back county of the mountains in our beautiful state. We take trips that range from 3 days to 8 days.

So...let us know what other interest you have.
