For the last 30 days I haven’t had any hobbies or interests, the mechanic who works opposite of me had chest pains and ended up in the hospital, so my 7 on 7 off schedule became 7 on and 7 on, than other mechanics took a little vacation and next thing you know I have worked 30 days strait. not so bad you might say! But!! our days are 12 hours plus driving time so if I see both of my aircraft and than go to the hanger for heavy maintenance I am at 14 to 15 hours per day. kinda whipped my butt being on for 30 strait. But today is day #1 off " I get # off this time than back on for 9 "
Butt if I was to work on my hobbies or interests it would include hunting fishing restoring old tractors hunting killing brown fuzzy animals, ok I would go hunting more, what season is coming up next here?

That leads us to guess another hobby of yours.

My hobbies are trucks, my boat and anything outdoors. Interested in anything mechanical. As far as skills - turning wrenches I guess.

My girlfriend has the same interest, interior designing, or that's what she wants to be in after high school. Another interest Brittany (my girlfriend) and I share is talking to each other, making each other laugh, and just being us and talking to each others friends.

hobbies: I love to work on things mechanical, wheather it be a car/truck or a lawn mower. Then there's welding especally TIG.

Intrests: Trucks; wheather it be the Fords I've got or my little Yota P/U, along with that is my facination with Rotaries and First Gen RX-7s

Skills: Like above I can work on damn near any vehicle (up until about '96), welding, I'm very meticulous when it comes to doing certain jobs, and I've hung around enough mechanics that I can diagnose alot of my and my friends automotive problems

Things I like doing: I love to tinker with my 7, mudding is another, hanging with the GF, and the every so often casual drive to no where.
