O.K. I was kidding about the bear wrestling!
But this one's true-
I wrestle my 110 Lb. Chocolate Labrador Reteiver for FUN!
and his name is Rocky... We have this trick we do together; first I
tease him with a deflated basketball, when he bites it, he locks on
and I swing him around in circles until all four feet are off the ground.
He loves it but it wears me out quick. I weigh 190 so I only have the
80lb differential to anchor me.

I fish the Ocean and San Francisco bay in a 36 ft Albin sportfisher and run the Delta and the Sierra Foothill lakes in my bass boat. I have double kayaks, single kayaks and canoes so I get a lot of time on the water. I play guitar and keyboards and record my own music. I love racing and go to Laguna Seca and Sears point as often as I can.

If you are serious about playing the guitar, I recommend a little practice amp called a Pignose. Plus later you can run it through your Peavy, PA or Marshal Stack and blow the neighborhood away.
Between my loud cars and my loud guitars its hard to tell if I can hear at all....
I'm a marathon runner.

Cars (911, 914)
Street tracker Triumph 650 (but it mostly graces the garage now. Don't ride anymore except around the block...anyone want to buy it?)
Slot cars...sometimes
I bought and resurrected a fire engine that I once served on. Now take that to musters, parades, and birthday parties.

I'm restoring our 1929 Spanish style home . It was originally the residence of Warner Bros. screen actor Sydney Greenstreet (1940s). We have a dedicated Bogie room and a Blue Parrot room . When not under the 914, at the 8 to 5, or hammering , I like to watch the old B & W classics with a couple of cold ones
How cool! What a fun thing to be doing.
