buddy of mine used to build RC airplanes for other folks. He did a great job building, but was a terrible pilot. There were plenty of other guys who loved to fly 'em but didn't have the time or know how to build them.

Go to a local RC fly area and see what's out there. You might even be able to make a few bucks off it.

How about bicycling. Mountain or road, or both.

andym, I'm hoping you recognized a little humor in my post by the . Have you looked into renting a garage bay from a local body/repair shop?

I did get the humour, no worries. The girlfriend is not the problem - she's actually the only thing keeping me sane so far.

Thanks for all the suggestions... I think I'll head down to the hobby shop this weekend and see what catches my eye. Although fishing sounds good too. Renting a garage is pretty expensive here.

Howz about paintball? I love to get out and play woodsball. Relatively enexpensive to get started, and you get a lot of exercise. Plus, what better way to spend a saturday morning than blasting your buddies? That is of course if you are not already spending quality trigger time with the real mcoy , which case, you would have to do the paintball thing on sunday afternoon. Your girlfriend would probably like paintballin too, my wife loves it.
