What Do You Do When You're Not Doing CNC

Learning new opera arias? I'm a basso.

Although I cannot post pics now, I can write.
I like to bang of drumheads with my hands, and have a Dumbek and a Darbuka. I also play Congas in the church band about every other weeks or so.
I build paint and race little H.O. scale slotcars. This was the original reason for buying the Sherline equipment. Now I use the Sherline gear mostly for work.
I'd love to find some pics of a Sherline mill to which someone has attached linear slides.
I'm building a large outdoor kitchen at home. It will have a granite countertop, and stucco sides. It's based upon the Weber 'Performer'. I picked up the granite this morning.
I ride mountain/street bikes once in awhile just for fun. I do the 50 mile ride from Rosarito Beach to Ensenada, Baja California, twice a year.
I'm converting my VW diesel jetta to run on WVO.
I stay busy busy busy.

I figured I would bump it back into view. Hang gliding in Australia is a bit beyond me, walking in Scotland I could do but I may balk at the shortcut.

My latest weekend was spent drywalling and then painting until I ran out of paint. It was raining so I went into my Barn workshop and worked on some prototypes I am developing; which don't qualify because that is CNC.

Well I did try my hand at wakeboarding over the long weekend, and now I am paying for it...at least it only hurts when I laugh ... and breathe

1987 was the last year I went surfing, and broke three ribs. You are correct it only hurts when you breathe, or laugh, or swallow, or move, or stay still; for several weeks.

Working in Mexico, guys know i dont like spiders so they caught a tarantula and let it go in my office, some kind of a lizard i found on the road, drill rig upside down off the side of a mountain road, brand new 1500 dollar drill bit crushed in a rod clamp..... lol.... the joys of working overseas..
Im sitting in a hotel room in Chihuahua city at the moment, we shut down for 5 days over Easter, in the mean time some bandits stole a bunch of stuff from 2 of our drills, even though i had ( security ) on 24 hours a day, i say that lightly... heading back to the project this afternoon to pick up the peices and start drilling again tommorow... 2 more weeks to go on this tour then back home to serinity and sanity....lol

On a lighter note, it is a interesting place, tons of history, the pic of the church still has bullet holes in it let over from the days of Pancho Villa, most of the people i have met here in 2 years are great, and i am proud to call them friends....

Another bump. Finished the painting. Spraying paint in an eight feet by 27 feet room with minimal ventilation is a stupid idea without a respirator; I think the inside of my lungs are probably white not pink.

My favorite non-CNC activity is coming up starting Friday, travel! Fly to Heathrow, spend a couple of days in London, drive to Cornwall to visit Heligan Gardens and the Eden Project then to Southampton for a leisurely five day crossing of the Atlantic to Brooklyn and fly home.

I love to ride, especially when it is warm at night. If I'm not riding, I usually working on bikes, working on my mustang, or just simply drinking beer somewhere. Oh, and I like to read through cnczone and welderzone when I'm supposed to be working, and late at night when I'm bored.
