Besides CAS.. what else do you do with your time?

[Big Hext Finnigan]

Howdy all,

Had a big, full weekend, and amazingly enough.. no CAS action in it.
I coached the opening day of our baseball season for a Bronco team (11-12 year old boys) and then we rushed off to a Boy Scout campout.

It was a great weekend of fun and sun with good folks.  Seems that's what I like to do..

So what about y'all? 

[L.G.]

Well, besides work, which eats up 60 or more hours a week, I also have a front engine dragster that I race at nostalgia events in the midwest.

Playing with the kids, time with family, fly fishing (along with the family, they love playing in the streams), wood working, snowboarding (winter), and cooking.  I love to cook!  Just hate the cleaning up part  .  Oh, and writing

[Willie Wheelgun]

Well, I am a part time Gideon and a bunch of us went out Saturday and covered all the hotels and motels in our 'camp' to make sure the Good Book was still good.
Then I went with my daughter to help a low income family move as they didn't have a truck.
I came home and loaded up 150 + 45 Colt loads, took my wife out to dinner and called it a day.  I have enough points for at least two shoots if I play my cards right.

[California Lawdawg]

I'm a criminal justice professor at our local college and sit on the Academic senate. That takes care of 3 days. I also belong to an old west reenactor group which take up about one saturday per month for now. As we head into better weather that will increase to two Saturdays for train robberies and the rest doing other activities with the group.

Not to bad for a retired person huh!!!!!

[US Scout]

Scouts:  I'm an assistant Scoutmaster, Unit Commissioner, and District Membership Chair.  I'm also on the Council International Committee, and I run the popcorn sales each year.

I try to get out and shoot my muzzleloaders now and again. I'd do it more often but don't have the time.

Beauty of CAS is that there is usually a match sometime during the month that I can get to.

US Scout, 
You sure are in the thick of the BSA life ain't ya? 
I sure hope everyone appreciates your efforts.  It's amazing what you can get done with just one hour a week.  Haw!!

Adios,

[Terry]

Paintball...it's my business although I am retired from playing.  Now that the weather is getting nice, there is always something to build on or repair, mow, brush hog, something with my 3 horses, 1 to break this year.  I never thought I'd enjoy working so hard.  in town I paid someone to mow a dinky lawn because I couldn't stand to do it...now I can't stand to see it needing to be mowed

[Cheyenne]

Between coaching Little league and taking the boys to and from various things, such as basketball and T-ball, and keeping the yard mowed, and assorted "Honey Dos", I find I have a pretty full plate.

We had our opening day parade and my team is sponsored by the local chapter of the Badidos motorcyle 'club'....our float was escorted by the local chapter's president.....cops sure gave us some funny looks!

[Big Hext Finnigan]

Haw! I can't tell you how much that fits.. I'm LMAO!

I like that you didn't shave for a couple of days before.. trying to fit in..Ha!

[Cheyenne]

Yeah, anybody who knows me should get a chuckle........when the league told me who my sponsor was, they kinda cringed, like they thought, well who knows what they thought......my response was "Cool"

Hext, I shave about once a week at the most, to once every other week...just depends...if I ever get a day job, I reckon I'll have to shave more often.

[Badlands Walker]

I'm an accomplished musician & artist.  I also enjoy the art of photography.  Finally, I love woodworking.

[Slim Silver]

Weeelllll,

I work alot to make a living.  When not working for pay, I'm usually working on one of many half finished home projects that are not going near fast enough to please the Mrs.  Of course there is always the kids ballgames, practices, and assorted other activities to go to.

I once was an avid tournament angler but my boat is now primarily garage decor.  I think it has seen water three times in three years.  Believe it is time to sell it.  I used to be an avid hunter but had quit to fish year round.  My daughter has developed an interest in hunting so I am back in the woods again.  I really enjoy it though.  I took up CAS to replace my fishing for I have always enjoyed shooting, grew up cowboy, and I can do it in my back yard.  I make matches as my work and home schedule allows. 

I play guitar and banjo to chill on occasion.  I do vinatge auto restoration but have not had a project car in a while due to lack of time.  I better finish the house projects first or "Le Ping" may come to visit.

I have recently gotten into BB gun restoration and shooting with the kids.  This has been a lot of fun.  The Concho Kid got me kicked off on this when he hooked me up with an Old Daisy Model 179 BB pistol that looks like a single action revolver.  Kids had so much fun with it, as I did when I was a kid, that I started searching for these and the Crosman and Hahn brand CO2 single action revolvers.  I pick them up when I can find them and try to make them shootable again.  We have a lot of fun with this and it is good practice for them to advance into CAS in time.  I also do the old 1894 Winchester style Daisy BB rifles for the same reason.

Then of course there is the time I spend reading the CAS City board.  Way too much time according to some. 

Well, since I'm off today I better go paint, clean, do trim carpentry, frame, drywall, lay tile, shoot, put a pistol back together, buy more supplies, have a cold one and sing about it all before it is time to go pick the kids up from school.

[Lefty Isacs]

Besides CAS - any shooting sport - Bullseye,IPSC,Rifle, exept skeet and sutch
And when I can get my sorry a$$ down to the garage,this one takes up my time AND wallet.
