[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2865671, member: 29706"] Cars, computers, firearms. If I can't figure one of the three out it's probably not worth fixing, LOL. Just got done replacing the radiator in my pickup and have a couple amps for the speakers. Build my own computers and [URL='http://www.okshooters.com/threads/finished-a-project-and-got-to-run-a-test-tonight.224420/']my server[/URL], getting the itch to upgrade to 10Gb network but have to wait a while. Built my AR starting with a stripped lower and stripped upper, can't wait to build out some more. An odd one but love driving, long trips are a ton of fun for me. Getting the itch a lot here lately to just be gone for a week. Love the feel of cruising along just enjoying the road listening to some music. If I didn't have the musculoskeletal problems I do I would probably be driving over the road flatbed. I am a gamer to a degree, the PS3 collects a lot of dust but I have some fun with computer games though to no degree of what I used to get into. Starting to reload, some too. Have done about 200 rounds of 223 and have the dies to run it as well as .40 and .45 but need to get some 9mm dies and materials to load the pistol rounds. I cook too.
