Default RE: What other hobbies do you have?

I started to get burnt out on flying after 15 years in the air, 10 years working at the LHS, doing the showteam thing, and teaching flying lessons. I still fly, just not as much. At last count I am up to 16 aircraft with number 17 being built and I have number 18 picked out. I still fly about once a week to every other week. I have since started doing other things that are exciting.

My other hobbies:

Boating and water skiing. I have an '01 Monterey. We take it out about every weekend during the summer. Then fishing in the spring and fall when the temps fall.

4 wheeling. I have a Raptor 660. There are plenty of places to go around here from the sand dunes to the mountains. Camping up in the mountains up a trail is a lot of fun.

Snowmobiling. I have a 96 Ultra soon to be upgraded to an '02ish 800 RMK. Nothing like flying over the snow at speeds up to 100 mph and jumping cornises. I don't think that the sport is exciting unless it can kill you.
