Sometimes we need to unwind, what do you like to do?
I love to metal detect, put the headphones on and go - everything else gets tuned out.
Another, go fishing.

(I bet the number 1 answer is, lay on the couch)

I was really into SCUBA diving...but since my daughter came into the world this has slowed down...stopped. Riding the motorcycle is my activity to unwind now. There are some days when it is more filling taking a ride than eating over lunch.

I can still get away with riding my Triumph...but something about being 33 feet under the water for an hour just doesn't seem to get the same traction?

MSG, I hear you on the riding. It's so relaxing to hop on the bike and go cruising for a bit. I have a 2006 883C.

SSG Redondo,

A Sportster? I love riding with someone on a Harley, I can heare what they are thinking about doing...sometimes before they even know what they are doing. One advantage to riding a Speedmaster.

06 Softail Custom, miss her.... You are right about the scuba. Lay on the bottom looking up watching the manatee. I was in the Pamana Dive club, drift dive, hit the bridge spans, spring diving, open water.....

Does beer count? Besides that, fixing up the house and keeping the wife happy.

restore guns. Primarily older military rifles of my own, but have done other projects for friends too. Just finished a 410 shotgun and working on a .22 stock for a friend now.

Other than that I like brewing beer. Plan to brew a porter here soon to enter into a home brew contest later this year.

I really want to learn how to brew beer. I just need to break down and go buy a kit.

Not nearly as intimidating as one would think SFC Carden. The main thing is constant sterilization of all equipment. Let me know if you have questions. Buy a quality kit though not one of the MR. Beer kits!!
