I have many interests that I dabble in a bit, but only a few that I'm passionate about.

I'm still employed, working four twelve hour shifts per week with a healthy bit of overtime thrown in making for many 65 hour work weeks. My hobbies include:
CYCLING...both riding and repairing. At one point I ran a small business selling used bikes at a local flea market. That was indeed great fun and I wish I still did it, but the "Big Box" store kinda knocked the wind out of those sails.
TOY TRAINS...both collecting and operating, my favorite era being the toys of the fifties and earlier.
COLLECTING....Hess trucks (we've got every year so far, with boxes)
Die-Cast 1/64th scale trucks by Winross and PenJoy, only trucks that represent local based businesses.
BRITISH SPORTS CARS....Maintaining, driving and showing. I still own my '72 MGB which I purchased new. We've sold the rest of our fleet due to monetary needs. We had a '59 MGA Coupe, a '70 MGBGT, and a '71 Triumph Spitfire (the wife's). We don't do much with the car any more, it just sits out in the garage now.
