what floats your boat?

[mellowyellow]

when not thinking about boats or fishing or the<br />latest heated debate, I generally am interested<br />in science. (cool link) http://www.extremescience.com/index.html <br />what do you guys do when faced with long cold winter days?

Boy, if this one could get side tracked. <br />Myself, I am into my models when I have time.<br />With this new run I am on, I don't feel to much like doing anything but kicking back and resting.

I usually ski and snowboard during the winter, plus I've been restoring on my 1994 Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo, being it's too darn cold to go skiing.<br /><br />Other than that...<br /><br />SLEEP!

I go into my vault and count my money, It usually takes about 30 sec! Then check out the Iboats forum, then work at least an hour! Then have lunch! Then check out the forum again! Then take a nap! Then the forum again! Then I try to work for at least an hour! then the forum again! Then dinner! Then the forum again! Maybe an hour of TV, Then the forum again! Then bed!<br /><br />Actually I like Photography when I get a chance!!

My pleasure - wish I had something like this during my undergrad days. <br /><br />The electromagnetism section is very good. If you want to learn the fundamentals of circuit theory it is an excellent place to start.

I'm an amature astronomer. Cold clear winter nights are perfect for viewing nebula and star clusters. <br /><br />Also, I've been entertaining the idea of doing my own metal casting. Making my own machines is facinating to me for some reason.<br /><br />I majored in physics in college for a while. I finally realized that the only postulate I was able to form was that all physics profs. had weird hair.

Building Antennas. Simple wood working projects like bird feeders etc.<br />Speaking of Science, neat site. We used to have a local guy on PBS called Bill Nye (sp) the Science Guy! If you couldnt figure something out just send it to him. Fun part was I stumped him once <br />Bad part was I never did get the project to work <br /><br />Now to make a lot of smoke it was brake fluid and ???

When it is absolutely too nasty to do anything outside, I do wood carvings. Currently working on a 24" rainbow trout that will be mounted on a large piece of deadwood. If it is nice outside, above 10 degrees, I am on the hardwater fishing in the shack, or riding the snowmobile.

I play a lot of Basketball with my friends, and play in a couple of Church leagues. For some reason, they only let me play one of the guard positions............. I guess 5'8" is too short to be the center. <br /><br />My Dad and my Brothers have got me hooked on one of the computer games that you play online called "Delta Force". There are a few versions, DF Landwarrior, DF Task force dagger, DF Black Hawk Down, and I think a few others. Really addicting and fun.<br /><br />Other than that, its hunting, or spending time with the family.

Re: what floats your boat?

Hey Carpy<br />If you want to read a good book to go along with your game. Try "THE HUNT FOR BIN LADEN" Task Force Dagger by Robin Moore<br />Just finishing it now

Re: what floats your boat?

Guitars, guitars, guitars, tinker with the truck, and more guitars.....<br /><br />I've built a few of my own solid body electric guitars from scratch, not kits.. Some are so-so, some a total disaster, some actually play fairly well.. I'd like to build a few more when I get some free time..
