Motorcycles and cars mainly. Been riding since about age 6 or 7. I occasionally still race motocross and I still have my '70 Nova drag car, but haven't had it out in years.
Fishing is also a big thing in my life and has been from almost day one.
Also ham and other radio related stuff.

Head out in the middle of the night to the middle of nowhere with my favorite toy.





Also, go out and make some noise with friends.

I love hockey and still play on very rare occasions. Been playing since Jr. High.
I wish I could get more ice time in these days. I really have no excuse in the winter not to.

It's in my blood as well, my old man is 60 and still plays once a week and is on the ice at my nephews practices. My bro the goalie is 35 and has never stopped playing either.

Rangers, Isles, Buffalo or America's team the Red Wings fan?

No excuse in the summer either, ice time is cheaper!

As if you couldn't guess from the avatar on the left

SCUBA diving. Not your general run of the mill Air diving but the full blown mixed gas job. TRIMIX [helium oxygen Nitrogen mix] . Comfortable down to 100m ; deeper down gets uncomfortable...so I don't. ; seems like a good idea. I also teach mixed gas diving and Gas Blending...but I would rather be diving than teaching it. Having said that, Helium is becoming so expensive that more of the dives are becoming deep air dives. but A LOT shallower
