I build computers (haven't in a while, but some projects are about to get done)
play games online (eve online, battlefield2/battlefield vietnam, half-life2 mostly)
chill in front of the hi-fi with some good music (recently it's been some Sinatra, odd for a metalhead, aren't I?)
Sometimes I even write, but that's quite rare and it's usually when I feel very strongly about something....which is something that hasn't happened in a very long time....I find it hard to really feel much either way at all sometimes. All I will say, when properly inspired, I can put out some amazing poetry.
Oh, and I'm household OCP....I spend insane amounts of time trying to layout my place as I would like it to me.....sadly I rarely act on the ideas.

* Write articles on hacking, programming, cryptography, physical security (locks, biometrics, surveillance, etc), electronics, and automotive maintenance/repair

* Hack, program, crack codes, lock pick, disassemble, reassemble, tinker, solder, wrench

* Attempt to produce and engineer electronic music (I fail miserably most of the time)

* Attempt to mix electronic music into sets (Sometimes this works well, other times it does not)

* Go camping or backpacking

* Photography (Black and white film, develop my own, and Digital - I'm a professional of neither)

That's an old picture, but it's the only one I could find on my computer right now. It's not even the same color these days. :o Besides cycling, I can't really think of too many other things we do on a regular basis.

We used to do the lake thing a lot too but we sold our boat last year because we just weren't using it as much as we use to. Loved to waterski, but since I had my little health problem I can't really do that anymore. :(

Paranormal research...............everyone has ghost in their closets!

Seriously, I look into alleged paranormal activity. It is interesting to say the least.

Well I did not go into photography for the big bucks, so that's one thing.
But the #1 thing I enjoying doing for no pay is:

Nope, I enjoy putting smaller things in the air with my Pop more.

That may help you run faster, but you'll still hate it.

Especially after you get shin splints, sores/aches. :D
