Funny this topic should come up. About 10 years ago (in my teens) I was big into model trains, but after my family moved my train set was put away and there was no place for it in the new house. Today, my wife and I decided to visit the tiny town of Merrickville Ontario because of the multitude of tiny shops found there. We stumbled on to a store in behind some buildings called Lark Spur Line, which is a huge store that sells nothing but HO scale model trains and associated stuff. They had well over 100 different locomotives in stock and a train set built into the front window. Was a walk down memory lane, and I told my wife:

"If you thought computers were bad, then you don't want me playing around with trains again!"

Hmm....my Moto Guzzi is being restored. (It managed to surpass my knowledge finally) My car is fun to drive, but nothing special. I used to be in to building model WWII aircraft.....but now its pretty much just computers (jeez, that's depressing)

EDIT: Oh yeah...sometimes I manage to squeeze in a few games of pool.

Besides computers..

After being turfed from my IT support job, I am now working for an electrical parts distributor. Nice guys in the office, and it pays the bills. Contemplating moving back to the "big smoke" and enlisting in the state police force.

I love cars, went on a modifying spree with my old Nissan Pulsar Turbo a few months ago (full rebuild, lower compression, bored, o-ringed, basically built the engine to run high boost, and pull low 13, possibly 12 second quarter mile runs) and Im now driving a Tickford XR6, slowly modifying it as I can afford it.

I love music, and would have it playing in my sleep if I could get away with it.

I draw on occasion, have some good ideas in my head, but really no motivation to put them to paper.

Thats about it I guess..

Average post takes 30 secs, average driver hunt 1 minute.

That and the fact that I am female and able to multi-task efficiently. I have also arranged my computing so that I can complete other tasks simultaneously - for instance.
