... and how (if so) have you incorporated riding into it?

I'm an avid fly fisherman who loves to camp, kayak and ride. Not necessarily in that order. Approaching the mid-60s in age, I'm still able to get in and out of a kayak as well as a sleeping bag on the floor of a tent. I used to be a computer nerd but can't do much riding while sitting behind a keyboard. Ran a RadioShack for over 20 years and now retired and enjoying life. Still work a part time job to pay for all my "toys".

How about you?

I live in a state with snow and salt on the roads in the winter. So, the bikes get parked and the snowmobiles are my winter ride.

I also collect and repair old Coleman camping lanterns and stoves. I have over 400 of them. The oldest is from 1910 and it still runs like new.

Danke! I made a few improvements since I made the system page: https://fineelectricco.com/System.html

For example, I replaced the B&K AVP-4090 pre/pro and the Sony SDP-E800 with a Fosgate FAP-T1+ :

Also, I replaced the DirecTV DVR with a hi-def FIOS DVR, and I lowered the image and moved the center speaker from below it to above it.

Was a fitter welder for about ten years and like doing it still, got into airbrushing but am ok at that, brushed into leather work and still working on that. Discovered after retirement I can get the wife ticked off without even trying, So I did discover my best career in life. Does napping count?

I could see myself on a snowmobile. But alas, dang Texas winters. Wait... I can almost ride year round. Never mind.

Sure does! I don't care what anyone says.

Never seen an old guy "Grabber" at a gun range. I would guess for picking up brass but brass doesn't eject out of a revolver. What's that for Ted?

When shooting a cowboy match, you use 2 revolvers, a shotgun, and a lever gun. Those lever guns throw brass everywhere so the old guy grabber makes it a lot easier to recover the brass. And yes, since we shoot a lot, we all reload.
