    Big Smile What do you do for fun?

    I was just curious what all you optical peeps do for fun? Personally I enjoy doing brazilian jiu jitsu, shooting, disc golf, and going to the movies with my wife.

    No, I am strictly an angler. About the only dip netting around here is for smelt.

    LOL. I look like that every mid July when we go dipnetting on the Kenai. Nice haul of sockeye!

    Up here in AK, reds that are from the personal use fishery are the only fish that we clip the tail fins on.

    Long distance motorcycle road trips. No less then 1000 miles for starters. Next would be fishing then improving my house/yard. Then since I live in a beach town (Panama City Fl) and Katherine the Great White shark is just 50 miles off our coast.....4th of July coming up....you guys remember JAWS? Yes I love doing beach time with my wife and bar hopping on my bike in the evening during tourist season.

    Cook, no matter how busy or stressed out of a day I have had, I have no problem coming home and cooking, as long as my wife does the dishes.
