When I am not flying, i am building, when not building, working. Last weekend I rebuilt my mpcnc and added a vacuum table. Last summer I cleared over 200 dead trees on the rainy days.

Maintain my families vehicles. Changed the spark plugs in my wife's Toyota. The dealership wanted to charge her $241. OEM plugs were only ~$50 and they were the easiest plugs I ever changed. $$$

When it comes to RC related stuff, I do a lot of not flying lately due to wind, so I would say building, browsing the forums, or watching vids for inspiration in designs or information about building and flying and aerodynamics. Sometimes I watch a couple of my own vids to relive a decent flight.

When I'm not flying or building, I'm thinking of flying or building. :LOL::ROFLMAO:
I think I'm sick.:ROFLMAO:
Right there with you. Weather has been an aweful tease. I get like maybe 10 minutes to fly in the morning before the dumb wind picks up and lasts all day till it's dark. This is ridiculous for summer and it's getting a bit annoying because there's not much to do around here as it is. I need a day where I can spend some real time flying my planes. The more life seems to keep me from doing the things I want, the more I obsess over them.Honestly, If I could get one day to just fly the crud out of my planes it would be easier to take a break and get my mind on something else for a bit.

I've been laid up a bit here too...I was going to do some slope soaring at the beach after work yesterday, but it started raining! This is Southern California, it's not SUPPOSED to rain!

My obsession over the last few winters has been programming NES games. No time for that when there are planes to be flown though. ;)

I have been painting rocks again while this stuff called “precipitation” is in the sky...

Here’s a few I’ve recently painted:

"Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I think so Brain, but who would want to Pierce Brosnan?"

My favorite (and a favorite of Rob Paulsen's, the guy who actually voices Pinky):

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

"Well, I think so, Brain, but if they were called 'Sad Meals', nobody would buy them!"

If I don't have any planes to build or fly I might play some guitar or, as of recently, do some pencil sketching I used to do a lot of drawing 4-5 years ago and just recently got back into it over last winter.

The Pietenpol was the third one I did after getting back into sketching, right now I'm drawing one of my favorite cars (props to whoever knows what it is) HINT: It's a road version of a rally car.

Reminds me of a Lancia, but I'm probably wrong...It's been a while since I've seen or followed rallying; I didn't have much heart for it after Colin McRae died.

You're not wrong, can you guess the model?


I understand, he was a great driver.

Shoot...I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a Stratos? I really only know the Stratos or the Integrale names, but there was the 037 that was really well known for WRC back in the day...If I remember correctly, Tamiya had a model of it 30+ years ago. LOL
