Ok, we are all aflicted to a certain extent by the auto racing bug. I don't if they'll ever find a cure.

What other interests do you have? Many days I regret selling off my woodworking stuff but my lungs don't. I've gotten involved in model railroading. It is no longer the circle of track under the tree your Dad put up at Christmas.
 
I love to read, do needlework, yard work(although the drought has put a damper on this).
In my younger years, we loved to go 4-wheeling up on the old mine roads in Colorado, camping, and hiking.
Traveling has always been a passion. As soon as I get my life back together, I plan on taking some trips.
 
Don't really have one right now because school and work keeps me busy, for another week and a half anyway then maybe I'll find one. Interested in model railroads and perhaps gardening.
 
Home improvement, I doubled the size of the work building during the summer and put up new tile and faucets in the main restroom a month or two ago. I am slow, and rely a lot on the ehow website for direction, and learn as I go.

I love spending time with my son too, that's the best thing. Saturday I raked leaves and he is happy to be out there watching his old man work. That's something I love, I enjoyed working with my dad, he passed 12 years ago, but its full circle with my son now, the tradition handed down.

And I work a lot usually 50 hours a week at a minimum. I also enjoy admiring women . cars, and good music.
 
Horses. My wife an I have had horses for about 20 years. I work about 60 hours a week, then go to the farm and do repairs. And spend my free time with my elderly parents. I am very grateful they are still around
 
Unfortunately I excel at - and apparently must enjoy - planning all sorts of projects and then putting them off. I guess I must in a deficit of attention :(

I do enjoy figuring out why things don't operate correctly such as cars and electronics. I've given up on trying to figure out the same with people ;)
 
Never did agility classes with our dogs. Watched the FEMA and PD dogs do their thing a number of times.

This will be my next purchase, as soon as I have $1300 or so to get rid of. I've only got one 2.8 lens now, the Tamron 28-75. Pretty good lens, but before I buy any more lenses, they will be Canon glass.

That's on my Canon SX10 IS point and shoot.

I'm getting a T3 for christmas...wanted a T3i, but the T3 is cheaper. Comes with the 18-55, I'm getting a 75-300 and a 500.
 
Restoring John Deere lawn and garden tractors. Finishing up a 1987 model 332 and putting in a high/low range gear box on the rear. This has a three cylinder Yanmar diesel and will be the main player in the yard and at plow days. After that, a 1964 110 will be the restore project du jour.
 
My other main hobby besides NASCAR is designing cities and buildings. I'm also interested in cruise ships, though I've never been on one.

If music counts, I listen to classic rock and 80s new wave.
