prigger, Clancy's Red Storm Rising is also my favorite.

fracmeister & clintonsucks, also a scouter, not so much as a kid (only Star) but my two sons are Eagle and I've been a Scout Master and am currently a fund raising chairman (Friends of Scouting) for part of our District.

Other interests:

--Family History (Genealogy)
--Off Road Motorcycle Riding (not racing, the attraction is the scenery, not the speed!)
--Just ended my "big" hobby--Tuesday I retired from the military--11 years active, 12 years Army Reserve & National Guard.
--Hunting
--Adding being a Grandfather.

Riding my Harley Road King, semi-retired powerlifter (had orthoscopic surgery on the shoulder 4 months ago, level 4 Slap repair and subcromial decompression, still hurts like hell...David Williams, better get yours fixed, it will only get worse), and I am the Quake MASTER!!! Mike Turber, I am calling you out!!! Quake 1, 2, or 3, name the time and place. Oh yeah, I launch ICBMs in my real life, check my web page for pics. I am surprised by the number of musicians here. Also like to build and piddle with computers.

Chief,

This is my second tear. My left rotator was a complete tear, my right is more like a sprain. My eyes glaze over and my attention goes elsewhere when the doctor tells me what is wrong in medical terms

I guess I should have listed Quaking in my hobbies. Tried a local Quake net deathmatch over a LAN and got my butt kicked.

Clint Onsucks,

Quake is a PC Game as in Quake, Quake II and soon Quake III. From the makers of Doom.

clintonsucks,

Quake is a kick ass video game you can play over the internet.

If anyone is reading this and play it look for me using ping tool. I am -=STEALTH=-. I normally ping at about 20-30 so you will know it is me.

Deathmatch any time....

Also I live in Florida so the Jet Ski is here and not in LA or off to Catalina, although that would be cool.

Martial Arts,Pistolcraft and Backpacking.My boys are old enough to share my hobbies.I'm truly blessed.
 
<ul>
[*]Medieval reenactment (SCA)</li>
[*]Books (Science Fiction and History mostly)</li>
[*]Music</li>
[/list]

The Medieval stuff is the closest thing to a 'hobby'. If you aren't familiar with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) it's a bunch of people who dress up in Viking outfits and go camping. (Some choose to be English or French or German instead of Viking, but I don't understand why
smile.gif
) . There is also a martial arts aspect to it as we make and wear armor and fight with rattan 'swords'.

Here in the Pacific Northwest the SCA fighters do a pretty good job with the fighting - rules say you can't hit the knees or lower, which makes for a slightly unrealistic fighting style since you don't have to defend them, but mostly it's trying to put a sword firmly against someone's helmet while using a 30" round shield to keep them from doing the same. In other parts of the world the style is different and not as realistic in my opinion.

I like to go hiking, and I camp on the long hikes. I'm at number 30 of the 48 4,000 footers!

Other than that, I'd like to try my hand at paintball, if someone would lend me a TS1 Select and a few thousand pink paintballs(because I would like to humiliate my prey).

Quake 2 kicks @$$!
But I like the expansion pack for it even more. I think the proximety bombs are cool
smile.gif
. Did you know that there's a bomb you can use that will blow the CRAP out of you if you're not at least a few rooms and a level higher away?

Is Quake 2 a premium game? 'Cause I don't want to pay, that's why I sometimes play Quake 1, even though the connection always stinks.

Mike, Ping is King...and with a ping that low you have a definite advantage...might have to wait until I get hooked up to cable modem in two months. If you even the playing field with a 56K connect like I have, I am deadly. Try the new Quake 3 test, the graphics are another notch up. Quake 2 incorporates more prediction than Quake 1 and plays much better...plus the Voodoo support plays hirez better. For the unknowing, Quake is a first person game where you move around and see just like what you would see out your eyes. Lots of weapons and killing...really stimulates that base of the brain instinct. I have played these type games for years every since Wolf3d. Duke Nukem 3d was a great game of this type but then Quake 2 came out and rocked the world. Plays very well over the internet, i used to play every night for hours. My nick is Rocket. Frag ya later!
 
Well lets see:

Competetive shooting sports,
Gun collection,
Custom gunsmithing,
Hunting,
Fishing,
Motorcycling,
Metal work,
Rally racing (off road), etc, etc, etc
