My hobby

Read Now

It has been a long time since I have been able to do much about my hobby. I have always enjoyed fixing old cars. My love of all things mechanical began as early as I can remember. My earliest memory is of a train set that my dad bought for me before I was born. I remember seeing some of the model rail cars sitting on the shelves in his study. I remember them sitting on the shelves to the left of his desk which looked out the window, facing the setting sun. Later on in life I took this love of all things mechanical and tried to fix an old car. I was hooked. I never got the car running but decided to take classes in college to learn about cars. We had a lab in that class, and in the lab we were required to completely take apart an engine, measure all of the tolerances and and put it back together. My engine did run after that. About three years later I had the opportunity to buy an old Triumph GT6+. When I got it almost nothing worked, the tires where flat, the body was rusted and dinged and the windows seals were disintegrating. Over the next year and a fixed the car up. Got it running and began to enjoy it.

We sold the car a few years ago and we sold the car so I have been investing time into my relationships with my wife, children, family and friends. Now it it time to begin again. My brother has kindly said he would let us have an old 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 sedan that he has garaged for the last eleven and a half years. This time the kids are old enough to join in and the sedan will be more comfortable to ride in that the little sports car. So, on Friday I leave to go to Oregon to pick up the car and bring it back. Yes, Oregon. That is where it has been garaged for the last ten years.

What is your hobby?

My favorite hobby is playing batminton.I would play with my dad or mom.It is very fun.The only problem was that it was very hard to do sometimes because the birdies fall the wrong way.Once it was in the middle and we both went for it.She hit my head.It hurt a lot.It is very fun though.

My hobbies are to play basketball & softball outside with my dad or brother. I still try to keep active with my softball so I can get better at my throwing and other stuff. I just play basketball for fun when ever I have the chance.

One of my hobbies is playing basketball. Sometimes I practice by myself or with my dad. When my friends come over we go to the park to play some basketball. Even during my birthday I go to the park and my friends and I play with them, for example we can be divided into two teams and there are team captains and we pick our team players. So I have some fun with basketball. It's very fun when I play with others than myself.
