any other hobbies?

cool video. I have been in the martial arts for 17 years. Mostly ITF tae kwon-do, and judo. I do not travel to tournaments anymore, but still love to spend time in the gym.
 
My biggest money pit so far has to be my Diesel by far....wayyy to much cash and time invested in that. Next would be dirtbiking/camping. Nothing better than a bunch of your best friends heading into the mountains for a week of ripping the mountainside apart. Watersking and boating is another one I enjoy. Basicly if it has a motor im into it................
 
Let's see..........................
Guns, girls, surfing, collecting Trans Am stuff, trains (both model trains, and taking pictures of the real things), military planes (like going to airshows, and taking tons of photos), are just a few...............

:beach:
 
What?...nobody have kids they enjoy? tisk,tisk. Other than my daughter, and I don't know if it's a hobby per say, but I'm mostly occupied with a handful of rental properties and all the *joy* :wall: they bring to my life.

I used to restore old Jukeboxes for fun and extra cash, but not so much anymore.

Oh, and yes. I do enjoy heading to the woods to blaze off a couple hundred rounds of .223 or 7.62. every now and again.:guns:

The first few pics below are of some other toys, then the following pics are of paintings I've done. Some are reproductions of Ruebens (1600s) one is animated of the process. Then some are of my guitars and friend. I've been playing for 15 years and I'm in a band in Nashville. I've painted a series of pinups about Bettie Page. I've sold the casino and girl in black and white to the country band Big & Rich. Oh, yeah the 500 quad was dynoed at 90 horse, and will pull the front up in 4th on a down hill roll! amazingly bad ass!

Mostly old Seeburgs,Rock-Ola and a handful of AMI's before they became Rowe.

AMI internet Jukeboxes are not too common around here,we operate the Touch Tunes boxes.Far more reliable,faster.We have one Demo Rowe box that hasn't left the shop yet becasue the OS is too unstable.

The touch tune boxes doesnt sound or look as good as the AMI/Rowe box's imo.
We have NEW and updated old AMI boxes out and hardley ever have trouble with any of ours. Can you download a whole album on the tuch tunes like you can on the AMI ?

Wish pot-0-golds were still legal :down:
 
We're not operating any floor model TTs, just the giant "cell phone" wall mounts. But recently we've built about 2 dozen conversions from old wall mount NSMs(wizards,digital thunder,etc.) And they look a whole lot better with the bigger touch screen than the TT wall mounts.

As far as sound quality, that's why we operate the wall mounts. We buy high end amps and bundle the hard drive with them elsewhere like the old Rowe hide-aways. The conversions still use NSM's internal amp and despite my doubt of them have proven very powerful and clean.

And no, I can't download an entire album,but if remember correctly, only a few songs are available from any given album for licensing to any internet service jukebox.
 
Well, I brew beer! Don't think I saw anyone else say that. There is an expensive hobby. If it wasn't for the fact I work part-time at the homebrew store and used the money for beer geek stuff, I am pretty sure I'd be broke!
 
I love that guitar and your friend.
You build it?
Wish I could draw or paint something besides houses.

No, B.C.Rich made them for a while, they may still make them. They came in red and green transparent. It's for a conversation piece, too heavy to play.
I play the Jackson Soloist mostly cause it's light and has low action:drag:
