As odd as it sounds, I have been getting into mini-buggies (think over grown ATV infused gokarts) for my 2 girls.

They are cheap to buy and build, and will run wide open for long periods of time with no real concerns.

I have one that I am beefing up now, hoping to get my other running and beefed up sometime early next year.

We are planning a trail riding trip sometime in the spring.

Also, since I have 3.5 acres half wooded and half open, I really don't have to go anywhere to enjoy them with the kids.

Between the family, work, work to be done around the house, fishing, hunting, and trucks. My year stays busy.

i would like to get back into the gym and hit it hard like i used to. i just kind of sit around since graduation. But, since I got my 4 wheeler, the truck has just been sitting for the last 2 or 3 months. I haven’t forgotten about it though. this cold weather this morning had me thinking about it all the way to work. I think if I wrench on it for a few hours ill get the bug back.

I haven't been heavily into modding the trucks for several years. Actually haven't been to the track in at least 3 years.

I got into horses, well always been interested, but bought my first one about that time. Thats my main hobby now. I enjoy trail riding, been thinking about getting into competitve trail riding, but I'd also like to at some point get into Penning, Cutting Horses, and/or Reining. Ranch Horse competitions would be cool too.

Its my goal sometime fairly soon to get another horse for myself, wanting a draft horse like a Percheron.

I probably won't go back to racing much again, I still like to have fast trucks--but I'd love to build a mild Diesel truck, and then one day hoping to have another muscle car. I had several before the trucks. Would love to have an old Mopar or Pontiac. I wish I could find my old 79 Trans Am and buy it back and build it.

MC road racing... sadly still in the works

if I could stand to get my **** together I will keep both the truck and bike. Worse comes to worse the bike will have to go away, then truck will get some work after catching up on bills. I always have time to race MC's. Haha, the irony of it all
