Leisure Time

-NFR- · 12-03-2007, 02:05 AM

Everyone loves those few hours a day that you have to yourself- also known as leisure time.

My question is, what do you do with those few precious hours a day? I know I value what I like to call "my time" quite a lot.

Couple things I do:

- Internet Forums
- Video Games
- Watch Anime/Television
- Read, and quite a lot.

I know it seems like quite a bit of the responses will be similar, but I am thinking some of you may say something interesting. Pretty much the reasoning for this thread.

for me, there never seems to be enough time to get my stuff ready for the next planned event, hence I miss alot of them. This year will be different!I can just feel it! There are a few venues in the southeast US that hold some opportunities for winter riding. Of course, one has to be able to get some time off from the factory... SETRA winter series schedule is listed in "Cycle News" I may try to hit one or more of those events... am I the only one who spends ALOT of free time DAILY(evenings) in my barn wrenching?

I roast my own coffee. (40 percent of coffee flavor is lost 5 days after roasting so you can imagine the difference)

Read historical books - right now I'm really into Horatio Nelson and the era of fighting sail.

I dabble in graphics.

I used to play a lot of online games (was a competitor for a while), but I don't have as much time.

Recently I've been busy making my house look like the Griswald's from Christmas Vacation. It now has lights all over it that flash in time to Christmas carols.

Umm, could that be the Barrett/Jackson Auction. Last year was amazing. If anyone gets a shot to go, you have to go, even if you can't afford anything there, like me it's got some amazing vehicles there. Last year it rained most of the time, but was still great as we were all inside the tents.

Ok, I like to spend any time I have either taking off in the hills on my bike, or 4 wheeling in my truck. If I'm not out doing that, you'll usually find me in the garage trying to think of something else to bend, weld, take apart, put together or something. Not that I'm any good at those things, I just like to do them. Wish I had more time to play baseball/softball or anything else, but time doesn't allow it.
