What are you doing when not computing?

garetjax · December 3rd, 2006

Thought it might be interesting to see what people are doing when they aren't on their computers (*gasp* is that even possible!?). Post a few things you do in your free time when you are not glued to your computer monitor.

In no particular order:

1) Trapshooting - Nothing beats using a 12 gauge and 3 dram loads while knocking 25 clays out of the sky.

2) Fly Fishing - Me, my dad, my pipe and running water. This is as good as it gets.

3) Spending time with my wife and going out on dates to a dinner and a movie. (Not to mention she is awesome and enjoys being on the computer as well!)

4) Fly Tying - Peace and quiet, it's only you, a PEAK vise and a size 22 midge hook gearing up for the next spring season of fly fishing.

was the this thread a part of the "worm hole" of missing posts/threads?

either way... my free time is spent doing work around the house, occasional movie out with the wife (saw Stranger than Fiction last night), 2-3 nights a week we rent/watch movies at home and watch with the daughter... other then that since I work plenty, I don't have a whoel lot of free time.

every 3 months or so I do go up to a small lake in the middle of nowhere and go fishing. Good to just sit back for most the day and toss a line in... last time I went I caught 2 largemouth bass about 13" long (keep limit is 12"+)

Yes. I've ressurected the thread since it seemed to be a popular one before the forum broke down. ;)

I'm hardly ever not on the PC, but every once in a while I go to the basketball games and the homeschool teen meetings (yes, I'm continuing the latter after graduation).

sleep, eat, shoot my bow, sleep, roll over, sleep, turn the TV on, turn the TV off, sleep.

I'm either working, sleeping, eating, being bored in town

, or at church when I'm not on my computer.
