Just curious what everyone's hobbies are besides hunting? Back in the day I used to love running RC (nitro) trucks, it was a blast. Thinking of getting back into that and maybe trying to fly an RC plane as well. I'm also a car nut and have a 1987 Mustang that I've been working on in my limited spare time. Eventually would like to build a nice motor to toss in there to replace the stock block because eventually I'm going to split the thing down the valley with the power I'm tossing in there (I have a turbo force feeding some air ) . In my other spare time I run this site along with the help of the amazing guys here. I figured the RC cars / planes thing would be neat, since its simple, something fun to do quick when the baby is sleeping or even to take her along for a walk to the park. the car thing is sort of on the shelf right now because that takes so much time (and money of which I just don't have to spare right now, the extra cash is going into a 529 for her college!) My "hobby" and New Years Resolution over the next few months besides the possible RC car thing is getting my ass into shape as well as organizing, finish shelving, and cleaning my garage. I'm always looking for new things to do / try, I have the attention span of my 6 month old baby (which is bad, but working on that). Our bedroom is over our garage as well, and there are a few area's that need some improvement to help with the cold air that is getting in there. I put in a new garage door 2 months ago which helped a lot, as well as added a 3rd heading zone to the garage to keep it at about 45 degree's or so (its a 1 car wide, but 2 car deep garage). I just added a 15 or so foot span of baseboard, and it seems to work really really well. I needed to get some heat in there because I relocated my hot water heater there anyways and do not want any frozen pipe issues. Plus the little heat I pump in there really helps with keeping the bedroom above it a little bit warmer (the floors were freeeezing on cold winter days). I'd like to add some more insulation / weather stripping around the garage door to help keep out the cold (suggestions welcome here, seems the cold air is slipping through by the top of the door). I put one of those strips on the ground to help seal the door to the floor when its closed, which seemed to really help. I was also thinking of adding one of those racedeck floors, but the cost of that has put that idea off.
