Now that my 2004 Silver MM is locked up in the heated garage hibernating till spring, I thought I would start a post regarding what we do when we are not modifying our beloved Marauders?
I hunt, raise and train Redbone coonhounds. I know....backwoodsy hobby...but ever since I saw "Where the Red Fern Grows" as a 10 year old....I have been chasing coonhounds in the woodlots of the midwest.
Here is a picture of my main hound and best bud ever.....Crazy George..."putting some grease on the hardwood".

My brother in law is a bigtime coon hunter. He got bitten by one a week or so ago and had to go through the rabies shots.

Canadasvt, at first I was like, "OMG WTF is that!!!" After seeing it though, I wonder what it would look like on a MM. I'm sure it would be badass looking.
As for my hobbies, it's sitting in my driveway right now, building/repairing computers, working on other vehicles, driving/breaking/fixing R/C cars, some video games, mostly anything really.

Lots of porn on the internet, lots of porn.
All joking aside, lots of poker. That aside from the countless hours of refabbing my house I bought last spring. Winters in CT can be brutal if you are a car nut.

My friends amd family think workiing overtime is a hobby for me. It comes with working an emergency type job.
My real hobby has always been cars. Whether they are from the early 1900s all the way up to the modern cars. I do as much work on my own cars as possible. Though I'm only a mediocre mechanic.
I also volunteer with dog and cat rescue groups. I have a real ability to get through to the most scared and abused animals. I earn their trust and help them to overcome their fear of humans so that they can get adopted.
I have a small diecast car collection, and a small coin collection.

Mountain Biking, Playing the XBOX360 with my 7yr old son, watching movies and tinkering with my PC's. When the boss allows me to; mod the cars.
I'm a real car nut, so winters are hard on me. Sometimes I have a winter project car, and thought I had one this year to tinker with, but it's been tied up at the guy's place that's doing the seats and air ride for me.
Once they put calcium chloride on the streets here, my cars go up for the winter and don't get driven until we get a hard rain to wash off the streets. I've been reading a lot of car mags this year, but I still have car fever really bad.

Mackie is the best ever! This is the 1642VLZ-PRO it's actually a 16 channel mixer with all the features I need. I have a home studio in our guest bedroom and use this mixer to interface all my toys into my computer. I used to be in a few bands up north, but I realized that when I write music I am very particular about all the tracks. This way I can record track by track with playback through the computer software. :)

2. Trying to find the time for potential other hobbies that go around my cars and my bikes
3. Actually, not finding any time for potential hobbies and dedicating the non working time to my 2 y.o. daughter.

Well, I'm into the hunting and fishing thing. Fly-in fishing trips :fishing: into upper Ontario (Just after ice out), deer hunting in northwestern Nebraska, and the odd moose hunt in upper Ontario also (just before ice in).
When we're "snow bound" in the house I attempt to irritate the wife, EVERY SINGLE DAY....and do quite well at it. I will strive to do better. :rofl:
