Spare time?

Surely you jest..

After the kids are asleep, and the wife has no demands of me, I try to unwind by watching some TV shows on the computer (Arghh, matey. ;) ) and clean, work on, or read about guns. If I'm home alone, and it's a nice day out, I'll either practice with one or the other of my carry guns, or familiarize myself with the AR-15. Otherwise, I try to catch up on vehicle repair/mods, or I'm inside, online either ordering parts, looking at parts (gun/car/atv) or researching info for one of those 3. Otherwise, I'm either at my real job, asleep, or spending time with The Most Importants.

I can only stay focused on one things for just so long, then I get bored with it and the dislike sets in. On the bright side, after nearly 4 years, my Tbird is mostly done, save for body work, and that goded dash harness, and I still don't want to sell it...not yet anyway. Plus I've got some more goods to slap on it when I do find the wiring I need to finish the current pain in the ass that it's causing me. Heh.

I've also got 2 sicks dogs, one of which is terminal, the other one will be getting a surgery as well, plus the kids....yeah, I don't even have time to piss my pants and die. LOL.

Is beer drinking considered a past time!!!??

Like most people on this board/thread  I like to fix things.  Great with computers...less great with machinery....ok with wood.  But I do have a summer project to work on this year...
Big bin for my trash cans....

Dirt biking, quading, playing guitar/singing with my girlfriend, fishing, mountain biking. I spend most nights hanging out with my friends at our shop. People think we are a buisness, but the shop is actually just a club house where we hang out and work on our own cars.

If I'm not at work or spending time with my kids, I like to fish, play video games, read, and work on the Cougar or my truck. Lately I've been customizing my two toddlers' powerwheels, and trying to learn more about L.E.D.s. I do a lot of dreaming about my cars, my future tattoo plans and business ideas. I read a lot online and do a lot of research about my vehicles, my guns and try to keep up on important events, not the  News Channels cover. I watch Netflix on my 360 while surfing the net. Trying to go back to school and finish my bachelors, 24 year old single father of two doesn't make it easy to get a lot done.
