Other than cars what do you do with your spare time? I spend mine with the family whenever possible doing things we enjoy. Sking, Hiking, Fishing, Swimming and Traveling
Mostly family stuff. We travel to the mountains pretty often, and our kids are getting near college age, so doing college research and applications takes up a large amount of 'free time'. We used to go boating, but the family got tired of that after about three years. Our house is like a hotel on the weekends. Usually we have between 2 and 4 guests fo the kids staying over. We like to watch movie and yell out the funny parts like people used to do at Rocky Horror... BT
I'm a dedicated indoorsman, other than a ride in my car or on bicycle. Stuff to do...read, build models, write, movies, tv, video games.
Airplane Gliding, I have wanted to do this, it looks great, your recommendations. Do you own your own glider and if so is it a major cost to do this. Darryl
I had always wanted to do the soaring thing. On the way back from the track I go right by a small rural airfield where they have a soaring club. I tried a test ride and was hooked. You join the club for about $1,200 per year and get unlimited use of the clubs 8 sailplanes. The only cost is the price of the tow, which is $30 to 3,000 feet. The instructor is $5 per flight. I'm still learning so it will be a while before I solo. You can get a really sweet used sailplane for as little as $20K. The way I look at it it's cheaper than golf.
