Fishing, camping, shooting, tinkering on stuff in the garage and since the beginning of the year fairly serious about working out and getting into shape.

Horses! Grew up riding as a kid and showed a ton too. I️ got into hunting more as I️ went to college as showing horses got too expensive! Counting down the days that I️ get back into showing again as I️ really do miss it.

Working on cars, racing. I like to fix older rigs and sell them to make a little money. Sometimes I don?t make much but it keeps me busy. I also sand drag race, not as much as I would like to but still make at least one race a year. I have a sand rail and a jeep that I race. The jeep I?ve had for nearly 30 years and stil drive it on the street sometimes. It?s has a 355 Chevy with NOS and a top loader 4 speed. It?s a pretty wicked little ride. The sand rail is race only and has a L88 427 Big block that has about 650HP it fast!

Fishing, gardening, camping, travel. I used to build high performance VW engines for sand rails and buggies. At one time myself and a friend were thinking of entering the off road racing circuit but after we really looked at it we saw that it was out of our budget range, and neither one of us liked trying to find sponsors.

I’ve never been good at searching for sponsors either. I have seen some extremely fast VW powered sand cars too! It’s pretty amazing how much power those engines can make.

Hunting is my hobbie or more like a lifestyle.

Maybe camping but it's more like a second home now since we upgraded to a 5th wheel.

Anything outdoors.
But I recently retired as a National Powerlifting Champion after 15 years of competing; losing only once in that span.

I've ridden off-road motorcycles since '74. I rode enduros up to '99 and still ride Dual Sport events a couple times a year. My wife finally talked me into a road bike so she could ride with me. She used to off-road, but never competed. The last time she rode was when I talked her into riding the Oregon Trail with me back in '11. We rode what is still left of the Trail through Wyoming. I still like to throw a leg over and trail ride with the guys.
I compete with muzzle loaders and shoot my flintlock locally and occasionally go to the Nationals in Friendship, Indiana.
I coached Youth football for 21 years.

loved riding sleds in my youth. until it got to the point you had to be a rich man to buy a new one.

same goes for the lift tickets for skiing. just got to the point I could no longer justify the expense.

guess I didn't love it enough.

I do at times miss busting the powder though.and winter is still by far, my favorite season.
