My favorite hobby has been wrenching on my truck when I can. Since I work with software/computers all day it's a nice change of pace.
Now that football season is here watching the Browns with my daughters, wife, dad, brother and buddies ranks up there as my favorite (yeah I'm a good Ohioian and watch the Buckeyes too). After that I play some computer games and every now and then I break out my RC cars and trucks.

Ya, ain't that the truth.
Drag racing is my mainstay during the summer. I dabble in my R/C trucks, CB radio, tinkering on my hot rods. Don't seem to have enough time to do everything that needs to get done. What else is new?
Fuel is too expensive to go far anymore, so I bought a motorcycle so I can still enjoy the road.

Free time: I usually sit and think about what I'm going to have to do next! Actually I'm a Bee Keeper and My oldest daughter (she is 11) and I suit up and go into the hives , remove honey, build new boxes, Extract honey, bottle honey. Actually its sounding more and more like WORK!
But we have fun together and thats whats important!

i TRAVEL And look for trucks and machine-tools for my ranch down south.
I was a pro foosball player for 15 yrs and some of the guys and I get together for some matches.....not as good as I used to bee....get it bigwin---Bee!!
but with all my health problems still kick some of the younger guys butts....I was 7th in the world in 1983 at the world championships and my little brother is still a pro.
I have a foosball table at all my homes and so does my brother--so we still play each other when we visit.....They all want me to play golf---cause I am good at all sports---or at least used to be---but golf is toooo slow a game for me......Bill

I enjoyed golf but have not played in a while, especially since surgery. Will have to try it nice year before the baby gets here.

Foosball, huh?
Group of us used to play alot back in early 90's at local hot spot bar(Nickys Double Time). Used to be a guy(name Dan) that was "something" in the nation(9th?). He was TOUGH!! No matter what you did, the ball always stuck to his guys feet?? Never understood? LOL!! I beat him ONCE!!! and 15 yrs later I still relish the fact LOL!!! My wrists weren't meant for that fancy twist action though my buddy was really good. I just played defense and could win. He had a few nasty pull shots. I'm just not that coordinated, though he bought a table for home(I can't recall the brand? Million dollar table?-had tapered corners) and practiced. I only played when we went out, so I consider myself knowledgable enough to play okay. We'd play for HOURS every Fri/Sat night(til bar closed at 2am). Man...them were the days.

Most people that have never played a TOUGH game os foos---will not understand/but it takes skill and talent and you have to be in shape to be a pro.
Dan--garbuglia? That is only guy I can think of.
I was both forward and goalie. I thought in 1983 ''I HAD TO BE THE WORST GUY AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS''---NOPE----I did so good that guys wanted me for their double games,etc.
I am 51 and too old to beat the 25 yr olds --but my pull shot and pull-kick was killer....and I could block and not even the no 1 guys could score if I was on my game.
I remember 1 tournament in Kent---and they had hired the GODS to play while we played---I like entertainment--but that blew my condentration---and was weird to be so loud....could not even talk to each other on time-outs....haha
I won 3 dynamo tables and play a little--but my pull-shot is as bad as my push-kick now--haha
Those were the days---I could play all night at any Youngstown bar and win....and fight/ all night long.....it seems, and any you guys want to get a game going --let me know....Bill
