Racing quads.
Designing quad related stuff.
Saving money so I can build said quad related stuff I designed and race it, which doesn't happen because racing quads is damned expensive.
Yeah, and there's other crap I'll do, but I warned you about asking me about quads.
Since Kari is now hitched, I needed to add as single woman to my "Want to meet" list.
Yes, Angel Atwell races that quad.
Yes, she is very fast.
So what if she's animated!? She could save you money, and has hot pink hair!
Hey, I finally got around to adding my damn music interests!

Then there's the general poppy crap...
Given my low regard for Hollywood's poorly veiled attempts at shoveling San Fran-sicko values down my throat, as well as celibrities and their asinine antics,I find movies about actual people and events of greatest appeal:
The Pursuit of Happyness
Dust to Glory
Tucker: A Man and his Dream
The World's Fastest Indian
Pirates of Silicone Valley
The Right Stuff
Walk the Line
Ray
The Aviator
I'm still a little on the fence about The Aviator. While Howard Hughes was certainly an interesting character, research I did on my own revealed a great deal the movie left out or told out of sequence. Besides, Leonardo DeCaprio is too short to be Hughes.

I never get to watch TV any more. Ha! Who am I kidding? I'm on the couch all the damn time now! I can piss away a whole weekend on the TV if I've not careful. God, I've got to get the quad thing happening again.
Anyway, I did think of a few things to put here. I used to be attached to the Speed Channel when I had it, before going to digital cable. Losing that was a small price to pay for my then-roommate to never force me to watch the Sci-Fi channel again. I remember the World Ralley Championship was the hot show on Speed before the swtich. For a while it was Cartoon Network as well with some Adult Swim shows. I have to admit anime is a guilty indulgence of mine.
Recent stuff would be:
Mythbusters

Frasier
Many moons ago I used to really be into Mystery Science Theatre 3000, but that was back in the Joel days. I saw two episodes with Mike and didn't like them, but moved and lost cable before I could give Mike a chance.
Am I the only person who remembers "The Tick"?
They're all too technical for me to bother posting, unless you're dying to read about turbochargers, two strokes, and suspension design. Otherwise, I might as well be illiterate because I can't focus on anything for more than a minute.

Is it strange for an off road guy to be inspired mainly by airplane builders?
