OK, the age survey was fun and things got a little funky with the occupation topic. But, these are kinda fun and we can get some insight into what other cats on this forum are like and what makes them tick (sometimes I need a break from the "wasted a BMW M5 today" topic). So, what the hell, we can see if this gets any traction. All members/M5 board visitors welcome...

What are your hobbies, etc? I'll go first:

Travel with family, Weekend Road Trips, working in the yard with my wife (a little gardening), cook-outs/cooking, fantasy football, this forum (kinda like therapy for me in a way and my wife thinks I am off my rocker for spending time on it), spending time with my parents, running/weight lifting, golf weekends with my buddies(mostly drinking), and trips to Vegas.

Finding new ways to make an AMG handle.

Other then dreaming about my new car and trying to put more miles on it so I can finally get on it I dont do a lot. Work takes up a lot of time. I work out when I can. I love to grill. Nothing beats just crusin around.

 

Hangin out with the family. Waterscaping. (Pond and waterfall in my yard)Drag racing my T-type or my Mustang, Riding Quads with the kids in my Yamaha rhino. Camping in the RV. Sold my Road King so thats out. (Its too crazy on the roads....) Lets see if every one F's up this thread.

 

With however much time I have left after school and work:

spend time with the wife shopping, going out to dinner with her (we frequent a Thai place that's cheap and tasty due to her food restrictions), cooking, taking care of my "imouto" (little sister).

 

Let me be the first one to f'up this thread

XXX or TVMA







OK OK.... outdoor stuff.... especially scenic drive.

 

Home Theater, Computer building, Fast cars, General technology junkie. I have a pic of my theater somewhere....

 

Most of,if not all of my free time is spent racing motorcross,then if I find any extra time I collect and restore 66-67 Chevy nova's.Plus the usuall stuff like making everything I own faster or something or another. Which reminds me I have alot of projects that need to be finished. LOL

 

i am retired so i mess around on the internet all dam day and night. serious into weight training and as funny as it seems i am a hard core softball player. now i know you guys are like WTF? but it is not like you BBQ drunk game with retards. it is serious im almost at the point where i will get paid it wont be much but still a couple of hundred bucks a weekend to play a game i love. i travel all over for free playin softball. just so you know i have a few friends that get 60k a year to play under handed slow pitch softball.

 

Found a couple pics of my main hobby...

 

Are those 802D's pictured on the controller panel ??? Nice!

I am also a HT geek ... but my theatre needs some mods !!! surprise surprise.

Love working with my hands metal & wood mostly .... built a garden shed this w/e and so far its water tight ... (no rain yet lol !).

Give me anything that I can pull apart and "repair" and I will have a go at it - its great trying to solve these problems and see how things work ... Damn I should have studied engineering....

One day when I grow up I will have a monster workshop with all the tools a man could want... err... I guess you can never have enuf money or enuf tools right?

other than this ...
Go Karting
Driving fast cars - any type
Golf
Cricket - getting bit old for this now though

Edit: How could I forget - watching Tv (ALLOT of TV unfortunately) really enjoy Overhaulin' with Chip Foose - he has some awesome make overs...

 

I sleep alot and annoy people at work,it's really hard

 

Speakers are all hidden behind acoustically transparent columns and screen wall, but I have Axiom's flagship system. It is the Epic 80 system with about 3000 watts for the subs alone. (1 18 and 2 15s.) The room is all green glued with double drywall to be soundproof as the master suite is directly above the theater. The screen is 110" with both a Bluray and Hd-Dvd player feeding the 1080p picture. Lots of fun, but it is also the difference in me buying an E55 like I have, or an SL65. I think it was worth it.

 

sick and I think I would enjoy that way more than a 65 IMO

 

Yeah awesome build ... I am not quite up to 3kw yet but got a Velodyne DD12 - but think it needs partner ... I need to do some damping in the room and was just looking at this greeglue ... can you recmoomed it ? What puzzles me is what fastners you use to hold the two panels together with the GG sandwiched in between - surely the fastners add to the conductive sound path?

Maybe we should take this to PM...

 

Woot! I have the exact same sofa, except I only have one set of threes, not two.

I envy you!

Too many hobbies...

 

Man.... you guys are all baller.... if we just take the forum's average:

Age: 26-27
Occupation: RE investors
Hobbies: Extremely expensive


Man.... you guys make me jealous.

May be I should start w/ a "What's your Networth divided by Age?" thread I think it's a true measure of success.... Kind of wealth acceleration or horsepower... LOL

 

ZXLR88, are green glue & double drywall (sound deadening board, I assume) really effective for your setup?

I tried double drywall (not using green glue but mass loaded vinyl instead) at my wife's music school and it wasn't really effective... yes, they reduced the sound.... but not that effective, IMO.

Have you ever tried using resilient channels & floating drywall? I heard it's more effective but more fragile

 

Racing cars and snowmobiles, hunting and tuning everything...

 

i miss the snow

that second pic is awesome

 

hmmm

past achievements:

Kuwaiti national skating champion
World of war craft rank 14 warrior (sad i know )
