WOW Quarter, those are beautiful, you do nice work.

 

[travs]

^ awesome! Hand crafted and made with love.

My hobbies seem to be me on a bar stool with my mouth flapping and eye balling hotties.

hey, sounds like a great hobby as well, especially to us married guys.

While I do consider my balls as a hobby / obsession, I also regard my work as a hobby too as I actually enjoy working. Strange I know...

I'm a self employed web designer based at home, so I can surf on EBMM forums and other sites and also be designing, building and managing websites all from one comfortable place.

I can even sit here in front of my desk playing my axe's as I've got my Tascam DP-02 set up on the same desk...

I must get out more - especially when I compare what I do with other KnuckleHeads that do all this active karate, running, shooting, DIY stuff!

I feel lame now. I shall now seek comfort with my balls...

nice steels!

 

[Quarter]

Thanks all and Thanks BP .. They are a labor of love and it keeps me out of the bars

Hey BP ... I'd be happy to build you one. You do so much cool stuff for others I'd be happy to send one your way.
I'm dead serious ... 6 or 8 string? Deco or Teardrop?

Out of interest - what is the tuning on the lap steels?

 

[73h Nils]

I make 3D models of stuff with Inventor. Except it's going to be applicable to my future career (engineering) so I don't really know if it counts?

I might take up snowboarding or skiing, since I'm here for 4-5 years!

Guitar playing is really everything for me. It's a passion, a money maker and my social life all wrapped into one. I play 2 or 3 gigs a week, and love it!

Other than that, I love to travel and try to get to the USA 2 or 3 times a year. And I love geeking with my computer! His name is WOPR and its being constantly upgraded and modified. Started life as a P3 450 64MB of RAM and 8GBHD. Now its a quad core, 4GB RAM and several TB of storage.

There are some really interesting and cool hobbies listed above. I'm kind of boring:

Swimming for fitness
Playing with my kids for fun
NHL season ticket holder for sports viewing
Reading history for relaxation and education
I recently left the board of directors of a local non-profit, but I'll probably get back involved after a break.

Like somebody else mentioned, I really find working on my MM guitars very relaxing. After a tough week, and after everyone goes to bed, I enjoy changing strings, doing setups and intonations, conditioning necks, etc...it's therapeutic, and let's me spend time with my guitars even when making noise with them isn't appropriate.

Tim,

I just finished my new build last week,

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 OCd (stock 2.86GHz) to 3.6GHz. I have had it hit
4.0GHz stable, but it was getting to hot for me 72C
8GB of OCZ Reaper 1066
Gigabyte P45-UD3P
Sapphire 4850x2

It flys

Nice rig! I have been having some problems with my Gigabyte P35 board with random blue screens, but I have flashed the BIOS to version 12 and so far so good! My CPU is a 2.4Ghz, but your 4Ghz stable is insane! Maybe you need to go water cooled?

Other than music and golf, I am a web designer. Serenade Web Design Studio is my business: Serenade Web Design Studio :: Creative web, graphic, & flash design, music production

Not worth it to me to water cool, there isn't anything I can't do with 3.6GHz...
yet!

I'm happy with 3.6GHz at 60C under full load. Running Prime95 for 12+ hours, and passing OCCT running in high priority.

A bit over kill for perusing the forums though
