Loves
Loves? Maybe. More like hobbies and things that are not as bad as
others. Looking at my list
here I think there's something wrong with me because who puts down
fire as a love? I don't know...think what you want, this is my
stupid web site.
Home improvement
I bought the house I've been living in for the last 6 years
this past spring and have been on a home improvements kick
since. From shingles to decks I've been busy. But things
are looking good so it's worth it.

R.C. Cars, Tanks, Boats
Another hands on hobby from my youth that gets better as I age.
The inventions get more crazy with every project. A home-grown
tank powered by a chainsaw engine is next.

ATVs
Nothing like gritty
teeth and dry crusty nose nuggets that's for sure. I don't have
too many pictures yet but check them out.

Hunting & Fishing
I try yet I don't shoot many deer. At least not bow hunting
anyway. I usually average a deer every other year gun hunting
though. As for fishing I go for Bass and have caught some nice
ones.

Raising wild animals
Different animals seem make their way to my house (the wife). Animals include a wild mouse,
duck, pheasant, chickens and fish.

Video games
Since the Atari 2600 first came out I've been addicted. What
great fun. The graphics today are amazing, it's just a shame I
have no time to play. Everyone should play some amount
of video games.
A couple good game sites:
www.GameSpot.com &
www.GamePro.com
The stock market
Specifically penny stocks. These are stocks that trade under
a dollar and are listed on the OTC (over-the-counter bulletin
board). Sometimes stocks under a penny. This dark little corner
of the market is shady and truly the wild, wild west. These
penny stocks can go from .02 to .06 in a matter our hours,
sometimes they run from .02 to .10...sometimes better. That's
some serious return on your investment. But don't forget, it
also goes the other way! There's an unbelievable amount of
knowledge and strategy to learn and I'm determined to be a real
player someday. I've been in the game since early 2005 - I'll
let you know when I'm filthy rich....so far it is not the case!
Computers
I'm a web site developer so I guess if I didn't like computers there would be a problem. I
find computer programming challenging and the kind of work that
makes the day fly by. I'm not a total geek though. Please
believe me.

Rock collecting
My mother got me started rock collecting as a kid and lately
I've been finding rocks here and there to add to my collection.
You just wouldn't think so many variations or rocks exist down
in the ground.
Vehicles
Fast cars and big trucks. Someday I'd like to
rebuild an old muscle car but time and funds are shorter than I'd
like to admit....but someday.

Movies
Movies are good. It's a common like but nothing beats a good
movie, Coke and popcorn at a theatre. I like action, suspense and
comedy movies but they should have a good twist or give you
something to think about. I'm the kind of person that picks apart
a movie after I see it and make fun of all the impossibilities. So
I like my movies smart. The best site to read about movies in my
opinion is
www.DVDFile.com or
www.Reel.com.
Fire
Mmmm, fire. What's not to like? Recently a few friends
were over and we were making Works bombs (tinfoil and Works
drain cleaner). Not exactly fire but in the same category here.
Fireworks would also be included here.

Weight lifting
Sitting all day at my web designer desk job makes it hard to
stay in shape. I've been in the gym since I've been 18 and just
recently bought some quality equipment for at home. I'm by no
means in great shape but I'm trying to keep a little ahead of
the race....trying. I'm not going to show any pictures of my
ripped body or I'll get waves of fan mail that I can't respond
to at the moment.
On a related note I design the web site for the only professional
bodybuilder in Wisconsin. Art's a great guy and if you buy
nutrition supplements his store on Hwy 100 has the best prices
in town. Visit his web site here:
www.ArtAtwood.com.
