Just ran across this picture. With the wife having a baby and all the home remodeling we did, plus an interesting year of weather. i did not get enough sledding in this year.

What do the rest of you do for fun.

This pic was taken after i rebuilt it this winter. One piston was cracked across the top and down the side(90lbs of psi on this cylinder).

She looks good . I hear Polaris will no longer make PWC .

Me I work hard and long hours all summer to pay for my winter off, so I cycle not much money needed there ;)

I do a lot of habitat improvement mainly spring/early summer and late summer. Between that time I bass fish and camp. Fall is huntin season and it's back to winter again. I love all season, fall being my favorite.

When I have extra time I like to build Tiki Bars (we rent and sell them). Started out as a party theme, and kinda grew into a small part time business.

sledheaddude,

There's nothing wrong with golfing....I'm an avid golfer. I have a towel that says "I'm not addicted, I only golf in days that end in Y". lol

I wonder how many members are avid golfers? Could do a new thread?

I for one will be catching up on my golf game. My new job requires me to take clients out once a week or so....darnnnnnnnnn!!!! :D

Hope to take the kids fishing more as they really liked it last year. Also hope to start rebuilding this clunker with my dad, as he's in his late 70's now and aging faster each year.

Here's one way I spend my very limited freetime.
I also like to golf, though I don't get the chance to do it very often.

I used to golf. Was around 3 over par about 3 years ago. Haven't golfed since.

....... and how did you do on the second hole? :D


J/K ... If I was that good I'd find more time to play. As it is I only get 15 or so games in a year.

3 over par for 9 has been my best ever. I do have an Eagle though! And it was only an 18" putt away from being a double eagle. Ironically it was at a course called Eagles landing.

If I could do that for 18 (3 over par) I would find more time, there is a lot of money in golf.

I commit golf occasionally (I've been told it's a crime the way I play...)

I enjoy mountain biking and dirt bike riding in the summer. My mountain bike is pretty much ready to go, but I need to get a new jug for my KTM pretty soon here...

I also have a '73 Jolly Roger Jet boat, 455 Olds w/ Berkley pump. I've been in the process of of restoring it for several years now, but this summer I actually plan to get it back in the water. (I say that every year...) I have a few other friends with ski boats, and I also enjoy wake boarding when I get the chance. I've been checking out those 'kite boards', and I'm thinking of giving that a try, there's a guy over by grand haven who gives lessons.

I also do a lot of camping, and we try to do a couple of canoe trips down the Pine River each year.

Ever been to Manitou Islands? I have been to both numerous times and love North. South Manitou we have kayaked to, that is a trip. You should try it sometime, just watch out for the ivy on south.

Been to sleeping bear dunes, but never manitou islands.. You kayaked across lake michigan to get there??? How far is that? (That's one of the reasons we like canoeing on the pine, it's fast enough you don't really have to paddle much...)

Golf, fish, camp, ATV, work on the yard, work on the house, work in the garage.

Unfortunately, I don't golf, fish, camp, or ATV as much as I'd like because of the working on the yard, house, and garage!
