My other passion besides trucks is "water features" here is my latest almost complete project My back yard (or at least a corner of it). its 15' x 18' and is 4' deep and the deep end and its got two water falls and a small stream. My "goldfish" have been happy making babies so i have about 100 fish in there. I know its not as cool like some of your hobbies but it keeps me sane.

Dude that is friggin awesome! I love it.
Other hobby....cooking. I like to try gourmet cooking and BBQ. I like to try new techniques and foods. The pride of my collection is my chef knife my wife got me for Christmas. I know sounds corny but it is a $70 knife. A good knife makes a HUGE difference in your prep time. I have pretty much decided that if I ever do go back to school it will be a culinary school.

Chris - excellent work on the landscaping - water works. And as far as I am concerned anything that keeps you sane is a good thing! Will have to post some pics of out back yard. But will have to admit, I had little to do with it other than slave labor for my wifes ideas.

Jeff, absolutely nothing wrong or "corny" with preparing great tasting food. Myself I am a BBQ master! Dogs, burgers, brats and occasionally steaks - I've done it all LOL. Other than that I can't cook for shit, but I think I have learned how to burn water

BBQ you should try fish, ribs, pork shoulder, lamb, brisket, turkeys, shrooms, veggie kabobs, shrimp, you name it I have probably cooked it on one of my grills or smoked it in my smoker. I have even done biscuits on the grill...and slow cooker for that matter (our stove was broke and we were VERY poor).

That all sounds VERY good Jeff! I was actually joking about being the BBQ Master. Compaired to most I am barely a rookie LOL, but I can tell when the brats are ready

Kabobs sounds interesting - will have to try doing those one of the days!

Sweet.... I like it Chris. I want to do one in my backyard some day. I need to wait till the kids get a little older is all. Also trying to figure out how to blend a classy pond in one corner and the future front truck clip BBQ in the other.
