Time Off.

Post by airliner »

What do people do with their time off aside from rubbing out batches and drinking beer.

In the winter All I do is play Lots of hockey.

For the summertime well, lets just say I have an obsseision with grass (no not that kind of grass, the grass that grows in my front yard) I like to do yard work beleiv it or not, wether it is sweeping the drive way, watering the plants, fertilizing the lawn( like i said I have an obssesion with my front lawn, I like to get it as green as possible.) Oh ya, and all the while a beer in hand of course.

I also very much like tinkering in the Garage, perform an oil change on the quad, car or truck, build whatever i see fit etc. etc.


But at the top of my list would have to be spending time with my daughter outside, play soccer, catch, swing a golf club etc. etc.


And that is pretty much all I do, My partying days are well behind me now, I settled down and became a family man, and enjoying every second of it.

Fly and tweek my PA-22 when the weather's nice, build parts for the Volmer amphib that I know I'll never finish so I can have a pair of wings for sale before I die. Man the house is getting filled with aircraft parts!

Lots of work around the house all the time. Next plan is a garage in the backyard. Oh yes of course, too much time on the puter but that's where I get the tips and tricks for my aviation obsession.

I realize I'm a very lucky man because I can share all this with the wife!

We've just had enforced time off due to the Olympics and I banished myself to the Far East where I had to see smiling Thai girls, Vietnamese, and Japanese...
It was a very difficult time, I had to wear shorts for a while, take a swim in the sea, and once in a while go and fly an aeroplane!
Then there was the food, lots of tasty food, and ice cream, and beer...

It was a difficult time for me, as you would see below:

It's always difficult for me as well when I get back to Thailand! haha. I enjoyed the website and it brings back lots of memories as i've been to most of the places you've been. My favourite restaurant in Bangkok is the Thai Country Place(located about 10 minutes from my pad). I go out there at least once or twice a week and have the lab moo, panang moo(pit pit), and of course the 29 baht Leo beer(big bottle). Thanks for sharing!!! I'm already looking forward to getting back........
