I had a 1983 250R with a 300 racing kit. Man that was fun. Had it for years.
I do a lot of fishing with my wife of 33 years. We also hunt quite a bit.

We landed over 300 salmon last year along with good numbers of lake trout and brookies. A moose and a deer fell to some of my reloads.

I trap critters in the winter, fish the local rivers during the summer a lot

Love your projects. Built a 61 Ghia with 356 Porsche disc brakes around, Hewland 5 speed, and an RX4 bridgeported rotary with Racing Beat intake and 650CFM Holley.
Wow! almost 43 yrs ago.
I like making things. This is a Rocket Stove for suplimental heat for my house, ( no central heat or a/c ). I'm working on plans for several big rocket furnaces for a greenhouse farmer from NY, he has one now that heats a 3000 sq ft minimally insulated 14ft tall house.

I've built a number items over the years and it's funny ,the list just keeps getting longer and longer .
Am currently awaiting a new 40x60x16 shop to be built ,to old now and can't do it by myself . So I can reassemble 34 Tons of MY Old shop ,which is packed inside My 40 ft. container presently . With approximately 4-5K BDFT of Exotic woods . Including last of the legal Thai Teak in 12/4 ,along with stuff NO longer available . MY master plan ,was to build some XXX Walnut Stocks with Ebony and Rosewood caps

I used to box when I was younger. Also did some martial arts. Too old for that stuff to be fun anymore, but I can still do it when I need to.

Turning out to be a habit. ( 
) Sisters house full of her STUFF. She enjoyed buying STUFF and living in one place for over 40+years. No CRAP, spent good $$$ on her stuff. Have put off selling the house for over 2 years. Got one gal interested so I'am working on the probate thing now. She wants it BAD so that gave me the incentive to start moving. . Made me an offer I couldn't refuse. 
Young, lots of energy and the $$$ to back it. 
No kids so Sister spent BIG $$$$ on "dolls". $350.00 to $500.00 a pop. Figured she could turn around and sell them and make a few $$? See the same dolls listed on Ebay for $50.00 or best offer and NOT moving. I check the house and pick up any bills that have come in. None of the family needs $$$ so no hurry to sell.
I can only spend so much time in the house. When I hear the dolls talking to, I hit the door!!
Just got rid of all her photo albums. Trips to Russia, Australia, Hong Kong, England, Alaska, a couple of cruises and traveling all over the United States. A few pictures of her and the rest, who knows. All gone by by. That's a start.

Neat idea. I have dreamt of building an outdoor wood fired cooking oven type structure for multiple uses. I’m not sure if possible, but pizza of course, slow roasting meats & veggies, Dutch oven, and any else that could be dreamt up.

I pick my nose. It counts, unless you do both, If you do both, it's actually an Olympic Sport.
Weight prohibitive ,as we're no longer allowed to posses gun bearers is the word .
There are a multitude of exotic woods ,which are only slightly heavier than walnut ,which are super stable once dried properly and will make excellent stocks . Of course colors vary widely . Several species of Rosewoods would make excellent stocks . From the Dalbergia genesis . Pistacia vera or Pistachio wood ,problem with that is finding a mature tree for cutting ,as most people prefer their nuts ,to losing a tree .
Greenheart Chlorocardium rodiei and purpleheart Peltogyne spp. of which I do have Both . Also a few species which I shipped in from Australia and perhaps 8-10 of those are of the Euclyptus geneisis . Very stable in service one must simply know the species ,as there are over 751 including hybrids in that family alone .
