R&R ?

[David_L6]

Seems like all I ever do is work. I work 12 hour shifts (rotating shifts) so I don't have time to do much when I'm working.

I have dirt bikes and ATVs that I try to ride once in a while when I'm not working but they don't get much use. I like to fish but my boats haven't been in the water in a close to a year. I used to race hydroplanes but I haven't been in one of them in a long time (5 years) either.

I guess I don't do much of anything but work.

Your big mistake there was buying American ....... I'll get my hat.

The only thing American on the Sebring is the name Chrysler. The car was built by Mitsubishi....engine, trans, suspension, everything is Mitsubishi. Even the key to start the car says Mitsubishi on it.

Endless house work concocted by the interior designer so-everything-has-to-be-authentic-looking wife (luv ya hun, really). I re-cert next year so I log class and lecture time for required CEUs. I'm on a couple of committees at work as well as do odd tasks and research where I can. About the only me time is an hour before bed and before heading out for work when I read or do this. Right now the kid is doing her turn sanding her bedroom floor to bare wood for refinishing, I'm up in 10 mins. 5 24-grit belts down and mostly bare wood so we're getting there.

Oh, R&R. I guess I go inert when I can.

Sounds like the opposite of my truck. It says Nissan, but everything on it was built here in the US.

R&R for me is weekends and not having to get up at 06.30 for work. If I reach 65 then I will still have to work part-time at least as my pension will just about cover my utility bills and council tax, so to eat I'll need to earn.

Napamule,

That's a good question, so I'm game. I love to travel internationally, and have had the opportunity to meet some of our SOH brethren in the process. I love riding roller coasters, even the insane ones. I love to fish, both brook / river and deep-sea fishing. Swimming is also something I do to relax and de-stress, but that is also to keep the circulation strong in my legs after my blood clots. I also recently took up flying a Cessna, and found the experience thrilling, wondrous, and spiritual.

Can't say I'm much of a hunter though, I've never owned or fired a gun.

I read and meditate, as well as help my neighbor mechanic work on cars he's restoring for himself. He pays me in beer and the occasional ride, or repairs for our cars when needed at cost or a discount. As a teacher, I find that I have to build in a little "me" time when I can, it's one of those jobs that going full throttle for excessive periods can burn you out so bad you leave the profession.

In all honesty, having a job where you work 39 weeks a year, though admittedly just as much off the clock as on, does allow me to enjoy my hobbies, including simming, a good deal, and I readily admit that.
