This looks like one serious game of water Polo! Ha ha, what are you guys actually doing though?

Messing around with this at home and at the racetrack.

Man oh man, if only... I could have sweet jet powered model freaking airplanes like you do! :) but seriously, amazing tank, sick looking car, and ridiculously fun looking jets!

I like your taste in music! Snowmobiles on the other hand... never been on one. Ha ha I don't trust myself on things that go fast that don't include a metal cage around me.

Had to give up flying due to medical problems, so I had to find another money pit, thus reefing .
That is unfortunate. I'm sure it's a blast to fly those things!
Ha ha, well I think out of all the money pits you could've chosen you chose the right one :)

I keep two freshwater tanks in my spare time away from the saltwater. :rolleyes:o_O
And finally! We get another freshwater keeper (that actually admits it ;)) here's two of my favorite freshwater buddies.

Ah, the McIntosh! Sweet sound like nothing else. Tubes warm the tones. Awesome!


I'm a little bit of a vintage audiophile. Plus, a Maltese owner. I wanted a boxer and my wife wanted a Maltese, so like any good husband I agreed to meet in the middle and get a Maltese... heh....

Corvettes, Archery, Bass Fishing and Florida Vacations.
Nice variety! I read the "corvettes" at "cuvettes"... I've spent too much time on BRS the past few days :) anyway, what kind of bow do you prefer? Where in Florida do you like to go?

Woodworking and home remodeling for me. Have gotten into building some furniture and currently working on bringing my new house up to date from the 90's.

Thanks! Raamstein was the most epic show. I rate it over TOOL, which are well know to have the best show. I have a few more pics ill pull up. Sleds are wicked fun, we do some crazy stuff on them. Ive got 3 sleds. 600cc, 700cc, and a 4stroke turbo. I live on a lake so once the ice shacks are out there im wide open ;) the shacks let me know of the safety of the lake and helps as markers.

I like your taste in music! Snowmobiles on the other hand... never been on one. Ha ha I don't trust myself on things that go fast that don't include a metal cage around me.

Thanks, Music is a huge part of my life!

I have had some close calls on sleds. I had to stop riding for a few years and "grow up". Now im 40, sore and stiff. Not jumping much anymore but still get a rush from speed, so the lake is fo me. Ive been 110 on my turbo, and 105 on my 600cc.

Hey Ty,
I was trying to post pics, but it failed. Too slow, lol. I'll try again in a minute. Anyway, I like the Barnett Bows the best. I had a Bear before, but just bought a crossbow. A lot easier for this old guy to use in the field.

The best place for me in Florida is Called Lover's Key. Its just south of Ft. Myers Beach and north of Bonita Springs. I'm kinda bias cause we rent our condos out when we're not there. but we go as often as we can afford.

Very cool stuff, those crossbows look like serious business! Also your spot in Florida looks like one heck of a vacation spot! I lived near Pensacola for about a year and sometimes miss the Florida beaches and rainstorms.

I wonder how many of us there actually are. It's gotta be over half. To the polls!
I've got a 55gal pentagon corner tank with angels, leaf fish and a handful of other barbs and tetras. It's fully planted and has some driftwood. The we've got one stereotypical goldfish tank that the Mrs's claims. I'll post pics when we get back to town Sunday.

I'm an outdoorsman without a doubt. I hike, fish, joyride in boats, do fishing guiding trips, and I recently picked up duck hunting. I like to keep the mind working outside of reefing and being a full time fish biologist!
Very cool! What kind of stuff do you work on as a biologist? At some point in my life I'd like to get involved in this industry somehow, more so than just owning a tank of course...

I got a BS degree in Zoology/ fisheries management and that was just the beginning. It is a very tough job market that is for sure! With the US Fish and Wildlife I worked with the control of asian carp in the midwest waterways (Yeah....good luck stopping those invasives! lol), I now work for a private wildlife preserve where I run hatchery studies, lake management studies, and currently breaking ground on a greenhouse for all sorts of aquaponics research with game species fish. Aquaponoics is awesome, I seriously take my knowledge from the reefing side and use it for my aquaponic system builds. Anyway, there are a lot of state run volunteer positions out there (Not here in Illinois because they suck and are dropping all of the Natural resource positions), but they are out there!

That. Is some cool stuff. I'm going to have to look around! Seems like a great way to expand your knowledge on both sides!
