I just fly regular planes. I did get a lesson once in a sailplane when visiting Tehachapi Ca one time. Unbelievably peaceful.

Motorcycle touring/camping. Fishing, woodworking, wrenching just about anything. Restoring old stuff. I have a 75 yr old fire extinguisher I turned into a lamp. I also did a restoration to a WW2 Dive helmet. I am also into target shooting old guns. I have a 150 yr old musket I built. I also have a couple reproduction black powder guns. I do some gardening (vegitables mostly) I love to draw, write, travel, cook you name it.
Oh boy play time....
Flying, Single engine, VFR, had to give up flying when I bought a boat, just not enough money for both. I have .5 hour dual instruction in the Goodyear Blimp.
The boat led to fishing, then to cruising, then to Scuba Diving.
Hiking, check.
Cycling, check.
Motorcycling, check.
Fly fishing, a little bit, check.
Skiing, Check.
Snow shoeing, check.
White water rafting, check.
Rock Climbing, check.
Disk Golf, check.
Working on the RV, check.
Adventures with the Grand-kids, check
And our latest new thing, Pickleball....

Fly for work and fun! It's a curse! Just trying to figure out how to hook the 5th wheel to the plane!

Touring and camping via motorcycles has been a big part of my life since "78. Somewhere around 400,000 miles on the street watching out for cars and trucks trying to get me. I still enjoy the ride, but am cheating a bit these days. The Solitude is becoming a base-camp and the roads surrounding the rig become my routes. I'm headed back over to NE Oregon again in late May for a long week of riding the roads in that area. There is so little traffic over there, I might not see a car for an hour or so. KEN
What are you riding these days?
We will be volunteering at Cove Palisades State Park north of Redmond, OR for the month of May as the flat water kayak guides. We will probably be in the Crooked River Campground. Give us a shout if you come through.
I'm still riding my 2016 Victory XCT. Somewhere around 67,000 miles on it so far.
Keep in touch Dallas.
I will be heading east from Springfield, Oregon to Prairie City on May 21st after work. I'll be boondockin' near Sisters and then finish the drive to Prairie City on the 22nd. I be in NE Oregon till the 30th. Then I'm moving the Solitude to Cascade Meadows, but have to go back to work for a few days.

Nice ride, it's got long legs. (meaning it can be ridden on long trips). My little Harley has got short legs, about 100 miles and you are ready for some walking.
We will be in the same neighborhood, Cove Palisades if 22 miles north of Redmond. We'll just have to see how the schedules work out.
C5A Galaxy, just trying to be helpful....
My brother in law was a crew chief on a C5A out of Dover - quite a while ago.
In order - Grandkids, Camping, Hunting, Woodworking, Shooting (and reloading), working on "stuff".
I've been fossil hunting my entire life
Started when I was about 8 years old collecting sharks teeth in the Chesapeake Bay area. Currently have a reasonably decent collection. Hope to do some fossil hunting in the TT.
Done many things in the past including
Canoeing
Fishing
Camping
Scuba diving - certified cave diver
RC planes
Model rockets
Motorcycle riding
Sold an American Iron Horse chopper to help pay for the TT
Currently I do a lot of outdoor cooking. I have 8+ grills in the yard.

We both ride motorcycles, as in we each have our own bike. We also enjoy bicycling and both have Hybrid type bikes. They are not the real skinny tires, but they aren't mountain bikes per se' either. We enjoy mild hiking a bit also. We are seriously considering selling both motorcycles and getting a Can Am Spyder, as we will both be retired by the end of April. Having a Toy Hauler makes it super easy to take both the motorcycle and the bicycles at the same time, so we have choices if we are somewhere that we want to ride our motorcycles one day and bikes the next.
Working on and modifying the RV and trying to keep DW happy. Also, ham radio, banjo and dancing with DW when she can.
