What are your hobbies?

What do you do when you have extra time?

Aside from herps, I spend a bit of my spare time online, bouncing back & forth between reptile, gun, law enforcement, and computer forums.

Sometime in the near future, camping and hiking are going to make it back onto my list of frequent activities.

Road Cycling - Lance is my hero
Nature Photography - photographing nature since 1980
Birdwatching - since I was five
Teaching Birdwatching - in the last twelve years

I spend a lot of time with my dogs. I read, a LOT. I will read damned near anything. Thousand page novels, short trashy romance books, magazines (Reptiles and Game Informer), and a lot of internet forums (reptiles, feeders, fish, dogs, chinchillas...)

I love camping (see new pictures on TRR)! I could camp all year! It's great to get the heck away and be outdoors. The dogs absolutely love it as well.

Funny life seems full for me but I can't think of much else I do. I think the dogs and the snakes really take up most of my time. I am lucky to enjoy what I do

I've started playing poker recently, with my ex... actually I'm looking to start a regular game of my own.

Free time is usually spent napping or doing homework or cleaning, but fun time is watching movies, metalsmithing, playing poker or pool, swimming in the short summer, that kind of thing.

Well now my kind of game.

We have a game every Sunday up at the farm and it is quite fun. No money changes hands, but it is sure great getting the need to play out.

what do you guys play? 5 card? texas hold em - which I actually like best despite the silly tv shows featuring it- ? omaha?

And I'm gonna walk into the trap since you laid it so nicely... if you don't play for money, you play for clothes? or chips? hehe. I kinda like higher stakes like clothes because then I NEVER lose. I'll lose 1 major item of clothing, maybe, if my cards are crap.

So hey, move on up to MI because I can't afford to transfer colleges anymore, and I'm game for sunday poker games.

Hold em is the game and chips are the way we see who is ahead. And this is all guys so not clothing shall be taken off ever. But the good thing is most are cops and favors like fixing tickets can be negotiated.

Now if you are ever at a show I am and feel lucky we can play a game or two for the higest of stakes.

And yes I swore them off seven days ago and I am about to fall the hell off that wagon. Seven days is way too damn long to go without.

And no I am not going to Chicago untill the statute of limitations runs out.

And two bad's might just make a very good.
